Minirig with the XDJ-RX

0:00 Jonathan here, The DJ Tutor

Alright guys, Jonathan here, The DJ Tutor. First of all, the tune we're listening to is by The Soul Architect. It's from Karmic Power Records. There will be info in the description. Okay, so I have the Pioneer XDJ-RX here and I do not have any headphones plugged in because I've got the mini rig plugged in. So if I just turn this up... So what's going on? Okay, well, first of all... Your headphone output on the mixer is, of course, a headphone output. But that doesn't mean to say you only have to plug your headphones in. You could plug in a 1000 watt PA system just as long as you've got the right connections. So it just so happens that the mini rig comes with a mini jack plug. So it's more suitable really for on the road, let's say, for example, your phone or your laptop.

1:27 Further than that, you don't even want to use headphones

What I've done just for this demonstration is I've gone out to the headphone output, into the Minirig bass cab and then from that just to one of the Minirig satellite speakers. And here is the other one. Now this is Bluetooth enabled, an input there for high power, your plug in there to power up the unit and also to recharge it, and then down here for low volume. I believe 80 hours playback time or if you go on half power around about 20 hours so it's quite a substantial amount of time. Now, I think the only reason I'm plugging in here through the headphones is let's imagine you're at a gig and you don't want cumbersome PAs for a monitor system. Further than that, you don't even want to use headphones. Well, you can use...

2:33 I'm going to go to Disco Zen

A little setup like this through the headphone. Now why? Why would you want to do that? Well, let's imagine now the sound is booming away through the main PA system and you've got your headphones on. Of course, you can now hear what you're monitoring. But what you could do potentially is something like this. And I'm now going to turn on that QSC speaker. So turn it on and turn it up. The main PA. Right, I'm going to go to Disco Zen. Listen. Now, I'm monitoring via the mini rig. Press channel 2 and now the Disco Zen tune is coming through the mini rig. Turn it down, main PA up, nothing because the volume's down, volume up. And now... We've got the main PA. Volume down on main PA and volume up on the monitor. And now we're playing through the mini rig. See, the wonders of modern day technology. I will put some info in the description on this and on the tunes and also on the mini rig system. So I'll finish off with practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
