0:00 You have actually behind us the Gorilla Stand

Alright ladies and gentlemen, you have actually behind us the Gorilla Stand. It's known as the DBS Lite. That's L-I-T-E not L-I-G-H-T. Very important. Right, it is actually quite important. So I always get the question, I want to buy a DJ booth, what should I get? Should it be big, small, tall, large, thin, fat, heavy, light? What should it be made out of? Well, looking at this... DJ stand. You may, might just give you an option of maybe wanting to get this or the bigger or the smaller. So at the moment it's all set up and we have of course all the Pioneer kit on here. We've got the Nexus series so really the whole idea here is to show you that if I give you a little close-up you can get quite easily the Nexus series. Let's take these off and we'll put them to one side.

So, construction is metal. It's not plastic. So this is separate? This is the GLSO1 laptop stand or GLSO2? Right. And also with the laptop stand what I did take off earlier is the small plinth that fits underneath where you put your laptop. The top we can take that off. There you go. Alright now as well if I just show you, you have a couple of The DJ Tutor offers a wide range of features and features that you can use to create your own set up. The DJ Tutor offers a wide range A booth. You want to put the booth up in seconds. So what we can do is we can concertine that in. So if you imagine you've got that in a bag, you turn up to the event, you open it out like so, you take that and you put that in there. How long did that take? Best part of five seconds. About five hours.

2:36 It's not long, it's not long at all

So it's not long, it's not long at all. Alright, so another great feature. So let me take that out again. There we go. Right, put that there. Now I'm going to do a bit of a close-up here. Would you like to, sir, just remove one of the Velcro surrounds? There we go. Now of course these... Now would I be right in saying that it comes with black and white or is it just white? This particular model, I believe it comes with black and white. Black and white, yeah, in fact I'm pretty sure it does as well. What I'd like to show you there is what it looks like without any light at all. I'm going to pause the camera now, we're going to get an LED and let's give a demo of some kind of ambient light behind the deck. Having a couple of LED lights behind the console shows the sort of effect you can get. Now, you know, a random couple of lights behind there...

4:31 One and a half 12-inch records long

Imagine having, say, like a mini cluster LED, some of those garden lasers. You know what I mean? Just one of them turning in the background. Okay, so a console like this would be ideal for your wedding DJ with maybe some sort of controller, laptop, or let's say, for example, you are a bedroom DJ but you want to slowly move out to becoming a mobile DJ. Thanks for watching, and see you next time. One and a half 12-inch records long. You see, I know DJs and the trouble is when you say it's so many inches they don't get it. But when you say 12-inch singles most people will get it. And you can't really do MP3 these days, can you? You know, it's 55 MP3s long. It's not going to work. Right in front of you, a couple of new features is no longer carpet shelf, we've got this mesh so it doesn't bow. And also one great feature about the mesh

If your gear is prone to getting a little bit warm because it's mesh, it's not going to get warm because there's lots of holes there for good ventilation. Also you've got feet as well at the bottom and the top here which I will show you in a bit because we're just going to start pulling it apart. My assistant will help me, won't you sir? Thank you very much. And let's pull this thing apart. Okay, if you do see people milling backwards and forwards, this is getting the mix. And this is still a working environment, so lots of people are still busy, active, doing their thing. Right, so, let's take that apart there. Thank you sir. Right, okay, so, we're down to the bare shell. Now, if memory serves me correctly, these lift up, don't they? And also, very quickly before I do pull this apart, quote me here, young lady over there can just holler at me.

Once it's put together, there's no need to completely pull it apart, is there? That's right. It just folds. Yeah, it just folds together. So I'll tell you what we'll do first. Let's take the shelf off. Lift that. Down my end. And there. Okay, the shelf itself is in two parts and very simply, you've got three wing nuts. I'm just going to loosen those With the aid of myself, pull that apart. There you go, so I'll put that over there. Now then, this here should just close. Look at that, alright? Now, again, it's quite difficult to explain on a video but it's not heavy, alright? It's not heavy. I mean, yeah, there's a bit of weight there but so long as you... Put it this way, you're a mobile DJ. If you can carry in a 12-inch speaker into your venue, then you can quite happily carry that. So what's your name? My name is James. I work here at Get In The Mix and Why Buy A New. Got some of the dimensions for the... Dimensions! Thank you. So these are all in length, diameter and height. And we've got...

7:23 13.05mm in length, 110mm in diameter and 700mm in height

13.05mm in length, 110mm in diameter and 700mm in height. That's for it folded up, so that's in its smallest form. When it's fully set up we have 1470mm in length, we have 730mm in diameter and 1300mm in height. And finally, the internal compartments of the unit itself. We have a length of 1420mm. We have a depth of 705mm and a height of 930mm. Fantastic. Have you got a weight? We have a weight of 7kg. The shelf is 8.85kg. Behind me in its bag is the standard DBS booth and myself and my colleague here All set up. Very quickly as well, the stand that I have behind me is a demonstration stand. First of all, one major difference. is the top. It's carpet covered, not metal. The other one is no feet at the bottom. You also have two bars that you'll fit, one across the front of the stand and one at the back, of course to put the top on. Top comes in two segments and like the other two stands you get a choice
