Thought I'd post some photos of Tz DJ rig. I thought this may be handy for other DJ's to gather ideas for there own setups. When I was putting this DJ arrangement together I was searching the net for photos of other DJ's cases. I couldn't find any other photos or ideas to work off, so I was left to come up with my own design.
My setup may be a bit unique because I'm using a "17 iMac as my main system. The iMac posed some interesting challenges to modifying an existing DJ rack. Most PC based DJ's I've seen just use a laptop which is a bit easier to arrange a setup for. The Macbook on the left is my backup machine. It is also handy as a third and fourth song queue.
A slanted 1/4" plywood shelve holds the Audio Kontrol 1 USB interface and 8 channel Peavey mini mixer. The Logitech Marble Mouse or some other small trackball is the only way to go. I mounted the mouse on its own small "1/4 platform. The lighted keyboard gets its own shelf on the highest level above the mixer and interface shelf. The firewire hard drive (music files) and wireless mic transmiter are out of sight below the shelves with a powerbar. Viola! Computer DJ. The macbook has its own firewire external drive.
I've got a future project to make a "down and dirty" quick macbook laptop mini setup. Feel free to send me any photos or ideas of a setup you're using. T
