The Sound System |

This
may be the traditional view of a DJ and back in the old days, the only
source for music was the humble turntable (record deck or gramophone, if
you like). However, CD is the preferred format nowadays for
mobiles:
|
|
|
At
the heart of our setup are the twin CD decks. These come as two units
- one for the pair of CD transports and the other is the control module.
Unlike a home device, this gives us frame by frame control (CD's have 75
frames/sec) and variable speed replay. We can therefore accurately
cue the music and segué tracks together for a flawless dance beat.

|
 |
Rather
than shouting very loudly, we prefer to use a microphone to get our message
across. In fact, we carry both a standard, high quality vocal microphone
(the de facto Shure SM58) and a radio mic, manufactured by Gemini.
PLEASE NOTE : We do not allow karaoke at our functions! Please leave it to the pros. |
|
|
In
order to combine the various sources into one signal for the amplifiers
and speakers, we use a Gemini PS727 Platinum mixer, which has the capability
to handle up to 8 individual signals (tape, MD, turntables and CDs) as
well as our two microphones.

We
recognise that size isn't everything, but like to feel that we have enough
power to prevent overdriving our equipment but still provide that nightclub
atmosphere.
Twin amps, a C-Audio GB602 and a Citronic PPX-900, deliver up to 1200 watts (RMS) to our Mach bass bins & pole-mounted speakers. This is usually sufficient to bring rapture to a crowd of up to 400 party-goers, and provide crystal clear sound in the quieter moments. REMEMBER --You control the volume, but we will never go to ear-splitting extremes. |
