0:01 What you've got in front of you is a complete portable setup

All right, ladies and gentlemen, what you've got in front of you is a complete portable setup. Now again, you may not want to take this sort of like on your back. You can't exactly walk around with it. Well, potentially you could if you set it up correctly. But what we have here is a laptop fully charged, mostly. We have the Pioneer DDJ-400. Software I'm using, by the way, is VirtualDJ. Right hand side, we have the Tronsmart Bang Max 130 watt Bluetooth speaker that's a bit of a monster. So press play. Okay, so I'm going to explain the setup. Now basically, the laptop is powering the DDJ-400. It's known as bus powered. So basically, the DDJ-400 has no... External way of powering it other than, of course, the laptop. So, you know, the software and the DDJ-400 powering software work hand in hand. I've got one RCA connection from the back of the 400 into...

2:15 Bass, speaker, side

The Tronsmart Bang. So the input on the Tronsmart Bang is quarter inch jack. There's two of them and next to, I'll show you in a bit, next to the inputs is a small gain dial as well. So, you know, they've gone up and above, let's say, what you would expect quite often with Bluetooth speakers. the crossfader and hop mixers. will work for half power for about a day now again you know if you're going to be slamming it up you can have the lights flashing full bells and whistles then it should last quite a few hours but you know if you don't want it too loud you're going to have it at half volume maybe have a few lights flashing there's no reason at all why it shouldn't last quite a while now you may notice it's a bit grubby and dirty at the top

That's because I've been trying to use it as much as I can to see what I think about it. You know, a lot of people say, how come you never give any bad reviews on items? Well, it's very simple. I've said this time and time again. If I get kit that I think is rubbish and crap, I won't even review it because I don't want to embarrass anybody. And I don't want to say, oh, this is great, knowing that it's rubbish. This is not rubbish. It's a bloody good speaker. Okay, so what I've done, I've gone, like I said, from the 400 into the Tronsmart Bang. Now something as well very important, I'm not going to play too much music just for copyright issues, but when you go from one output, whether it be right or left, into the likes of the Bluetooth speaker I have here, the Tronsmart Bang, you're only getting...

Not mono, you're getting the right hand side. A mono signal is when you have right and left together into one input, whereas now I'm just having the right side from the 400. So if I wanted to, you know, get another Tronsmart Bang Max, have it the other side, and then I could have one... For the right speaker, one for the left speaker. So you do have true stereo sound. Now, you've got two bass speakers, two mid and two high speakers on the side of the Transmark Bang. I'll show you in a minute. In fact, if I just press that again and press that button there, hold on. You can see we've got some LED lights shining as well. You've got a little light show, which just adds to that extra bit of appeal. Now this speaker here, the side of the Tronsmart band is what's known as sort of a bass reflex system. So what happens is when the bass speaker moves out...

To push the sound out, this will move in. And then when the bass speaker then moves back in, this will move out. So it's doing the opposite of what the actual speakers are doing. So behind here, there's no magnet, nothing like that. This is just really moving air. And what it does, it just adds a kind of a low volume, warm, deep bass. To the experience of you listening to it, it's quite a nice feel. Now, you know, don't expect something like this, you know, take it to a party, turn it up and everyone's going, turn it down, it's too loud! But... So, put it on again. Hold on.

6:06 Plug, inch jack

So it is quite a nice speaker right so what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to turn it around and if you can see on the back in fact uh if I actually unplug this now so what I've done is I've fitted just a quarter inch jack plug it's one of those you can get those on eBay they're like pennies um so I can plug in my RCA cable there and I can go into the The DJ Tutor is available in two different sizes, mono inputs for guitar, keyboard and drums with a 1.25-inch jack output from the music source. Oh my god. You've got your own gain controls, so if you did for example say want an MC, you could plug in a microphone for your MC on that as well as having the audio. So there it is, I mean it's the Tronsmart Bang Max, it is a bit of a beast.

My disclaimer as well for this video, I haven't been paid to do this promotion, but the company Tronsmart did send me the speaker for free. And as I have said many times, you know, if people send me products and I think it's crap, I just won't even review it. And that isn't the case for this. This is pretty damn good. T7 Lite, tailored for outings. Now this speaker is more likely the kind of thing you could stick in your back pocket or your coat and take it with you Bluetooth so I'm going to be doing something on that very soon. Anyway there it is, there will be information in the description on it and just as a side note I do like VirtualDJ all right it's a really good software. I personally think it's great. Anyway, thank you for watching. By all means, leave some comments, practice and enjoy.
