ADJ/ American DJ Spectrum LED Moon Flower Effect!

American DJ Spectrum LED LED Moon Flower Effect!

DJS Pro Audio and Lighting has grabbed a significant percentage of the initial shipment of this outstanding LED fixture. Specially designed to get the most out of the high efficiency of LED lighting the Spectrum LED produces a very bright moon flower effect with almost no power consumption (compared to conventional lighting). It wasn't that long ago that LED lighting was expensive and mostly too dim to be effective. NOT ANY MORE!!! These lights are priced well within the budget of most mobile DJ's with effects that often costs much more using conventional light. Click the link below to read more on this wonderful new LED fixture and even see a video of it in action.

Why buy LED??

In addition to the ADJ Spectrum LED, DJS carries a variety of LED lighting from several manufacturers. We specialize in these fixtures because of their many benefits. Not to say that we are moving away from conventional DJ Lighting, but as a leader in all DJ Lighting solutions DJS must stay on top of lighting's future. LED Lighting will be a major player in how DJs, Clubs, businesses, and even home owners light their future.

Mobile DJ:

• Lighter than conventional lights (often less than 1/4 the weight).
• Almost no heat so you can pack up right after turning them off.
• Power consumption is so low that it will run off the same power as your DJ equipment and not pop a breaker.
• No bulbs to replace. Most LEDs last 50,000 to 100,000 hours. That's on full time for 5 to 10 years.

Club Owner:

• More effects for the money. Many LED effects lights produce effects that are more complex than conventional fixtures costing much more.
• No moving parts. Most LED fixtures use the programmability of the individual LEDs to produce the effects. This means no moving parts to wear out (very important considering how long the LEDs last).
• Almost no heat. Lower your cooling costs by not running the high heat producing conventional lighting fixtures.
• Very low power consumption. Lower you energy bill even further with one LED light consuming as little as 10% the power of a conventional light of comparable brightness.
• Never replace another bulb saving time and money. With an expected life span of 50,000 to 100,000 hours (5 to 10 years if never turned off) you will never have to send an employee up a ladder to replace a blow bulb again.
• Cost effective to replace some lights now! With both the cost of replacement bulbs and power consumption to consider it is often cost effective to replace even some working conventional lights now. As LEDs get even brighter the some lights will become nearly all lights very soon.

NEW LED bulbs reviewed!

ECO Par 38 and E14 JDR LED Lamps

Up for the DJ Supply review this week are 2 newer products we recently began carrying. The ECO LED Par 38 Lamp, and the ECO E14 JDR LED. Both are replacement lamp solutions for those drab par cans, with traditional screw in bases, you’ve been hiding in your closet. These lamps can be screwed into any standard ceramic light socket that runs off 110v.

First I’ll discuss the real world application I used with these 2 pieces. The venue I performed at New Year’s Eve, had tall ceilings with long draped linens streaming the walls. I set up four par 38 cans from Eliminator on the floor http://www.djsupply.com/proddetail.asp?prod=66%5FEliminatorPar38 and screwed in a red, blue, yellow, and green Par 38 led lamp and pointed them straight up. At about 10 feet up the beam was about 6-7 feet wide NO HEAT. As far as actual light and coverage was concerned, I set up a few ADJ P36 LED RGB right beside my other cans. I found when comparing the same color in both pieces, that the LED Par 38 bulb came in just under the P36LED as far as output. Blue seemed to be brighter in the LED Par 38 bulb. The diffused lens on the LED 38 obviously ate up some of its output, but on the other hand it had a wider beam spread, than the P36 LED. I would use this bulb in a 4 par can chase with a stand like the LS-50 from ADJ or similar http://www.djsupply.com/proddetail.asp?prod=badjLS%2D50&cat=30.


Now to put the E14 JDR LED to the test. I used a simple Eliminator Octo bar E141 8 bank par chaser http://www.djsupply.com/proddetail.asp?prod=50%5FEliminatorOctoBar&cat=84. I used 2 Reds 2 Greens 2 Blues, and 2 yellows. I hung the fixture facing downward in front of my rig hitting some dance floor, but also still remaining visible to the dancers on the floor. The glass on the front of this fixture is actually molded around all the diodes, this made for some nice eye candy for the guests at the event. This specialty bulb draws attention because it looks cool. I will also say that some of the colors appear brighter than the others. Blue was a color that really stood out. On this lamp I found it is about half the brightness of a 50-watt reflector style bulb. The number one thing I noticed was not the effect of the lamp, but it was the guests staring at it. I would not use this bulb for color mixing, only as an accent or for eye candy. Either bulb would look cool in my recessed light cans at home too.

Anyone who has a standard color bar http://www.djsupply.com/proddetail.asp?prod=50%5Feliminatorcolorbar&cat=84 or Octo bar should take a look at either bulb option.. NO HEAT..NO Bulb color fade….ever have the color burn off you color bulb with a puff of smoke because of the heat?

To sum up if you need an eye catcher to add a bit of color at 5-8 feet the E14 JDR LED is the piece. If you need a little more bang then I would step up to the LED Par 38.

Finally for those who like to see it I will include some tech specs on these two pieces:


E14 JDR LED:

-32 LED diodes per fixture
-Approx. 50,000 hrs Life
-Voltage: 110
-Power Draw: 0.9-1.3 Watts
- Low Heat Operation

LED Par 38 Lamp :

-70 LED diodes per fixture
-Approx. 50,000 hrs life
-Voltage: 110
-Power Draw: 0.8 Watts
-Low Heat Operation

Both led bulbs are available in Red, Green, Yellow, Blue and White. Applications include: recessed lighting fixtures, color projection on walls or other surfaces, truss warming, backlighting a glass or smoked semi-transparent surface, and anything else you can dream up.

Omnisistem Planet Galaxy Red Laser, Product Review!

Omnisistem Planet Galaxy Red Laser!


I know it is not a new piece, but it looks so darn cool in the show room, I had to post it.

The Planet Galaxy has fifty six (56) 4.95 mW individual red laser diodes.
It comes with remote which allows you to choose between all on, blinking, or sound to light. We have them hung sideways on our Global square truss http://www.djsupply.com/proddetail.asp?prod=GlobalTrussSystem1&cat=89

I called the manufacture and asked about hanging these sideways. He told me that he has several clubs that have hung them this way for a few years and they have not seen a problem. He continued to say that most likely it will shorten the life of the motor but how much he does not know.

CONTROL: Stand-alone sound active
LASER POWER: 56 x 4.95mW Red
MOUNTING BASE:15" x 9.75" x 3.75"
SPHERE DIAMETER: 11"
HEIGHT:12" (base to top of sphere)

These pictures are taken with a camera that adjusts for low light, the beams appear flat, they are not…refer to the video for a more accurate reproduction.

Color Serato Scratch Live discs are back!

That's right, the Red, Blue, and Gold Serato Scratch Live records are back in stock. We have limited stock from a rather small initial press run. Odds are good that they will continue pressing more colored discs, but keep them in limited quantity to keep demand high.

There's a new color! Or, rather, a total lack of color. Check out the new Clear scratch discs. Wonder if they light up under black light?? We'll have to test one out in the shop and see.

In the mean time, we have them in stock now! They make great Christmas gifts for a final scratch DJ, but don't forget to get them in matching pairs.

Cortex HDC-1000 now supports keyboards!

The much asked for features of Keyboard and VBR (Variable Bit Rate) support has just been added to the latest firmware update for the Cortex HDC-1000. Now you can use any PC compatible USB keyboard to search and select songs, change display modes, manipulate the menu, and even pitch bend. A much needed feature for those with deep song lists.

Additional suport for French and Spanish has been added and the Instant Start response time has been brought down to 15 milliseconds. Now Instant Start is, or at least pretty darn close.

The HDC-1000 has come a long way in a very short time and you can expect even more features and performance improvements as they refine the controler to meet the demands of real world DJs. If you don't have one now odds are good that you may want one in the near future. Need more feature than this small control pannel is capable of providing? The soon to release HDC-3000 may be just what you are looking.

Behringer B-CONTROL DeeJay is back in stock!

We have a Fresh Stock of Behringer BCD-2000 DJ Contolers (the B-CONTROL DeeJay). At $160 this is perhaps the cheapest way to get into the PC DJ world and not be bound to the point and click of the mouse. With it's professional quality audio out you can even save on the need for an external sound card (you notebook users know how bad the internal sound cards can sound when amplified). Using a standard MIDI USB interface it is compatible with many other popular DJ software packages. A great way to ditch the mouse for those PC DJ's who have had enough of the point and click hassles.

What happened?? The BehringerB-CONTROL DeeJay was pulled from the market for a short time due to a dispute over the software agreement of the supplied software. Behringer has respolved the disagreement and has upgraded all of the existing packages to include the new software. We have not tested with the new software, but the B-Control was very resonsive in our own tests before it was pulled from the market.

National DJ, Pro Audio, and Lighting leasing plan.

DJS Pro Audio and Lighting
National Leasing Program

DJS Pro Audio and Lighting (AKA DJ Supply) is proud to offer it's business customers a nation wide leasing program for equipment leases ranging from $1000 to $10 Million. Unlike many other lease plans that are limitted to a companies home state, our plan is good anywhere you can obtain a US business tax id. Read on to see if this program is right for you!

Who can apply for this program?

Anyone with a US business tax id. That would include professional DJs, Bar and Club owners, schools, churches, charitable organizations and anyone else running a business. Obtaining a business tax id is often a good idea for tax and insurance reasons for the serious professional DJ. Like with a credit card, you must also be approved by the leasing company, Sterling Financial Services Group.

Why lease instead of fincancing?

Leasing is not for everyone, but for many it is the best way to finance major equipment purchase. Interest rates and payments are based on your credit rating and the amount being financed. There may even be significant tax benefits (see your tax advisor for how this could benefit you). Here is a list of benefits for you to consider:

• Provides 100% Financing
• Preserves Bank Credit Lines
• Offers fixed rate financing
• Retain more working capital
• Customized leasing and financing plans
• Creates possible tax advantages
• Increases purchasing power
• Allows companies to update equipment now
• Does not require additional collateral
• Creates additional lines of credit
• Increases liquidity

If you have a US business tax id and a need for at least $1000 in equipment leasing is a very good option. It can help defray startup costs, expansion costs, or even replace older equipment to help you remain competitive. If you are a school, church, club owner, charitable organization, or a mobile DJ with complex equipment needs DJS has a commercial division that can help with the selection, installation and set up of your new equipment.

Now carrying EV Blue series microphones!

EV / Blue
(Two great name are now together!)

Raven

Cardinal

EV (Electro Voice) has acquired the ever popular "Blue" recording microphone company and expanded their line to include two wonderful performance microphones. With the same quality and care put into their famous studio microphones, EV/Blue now offers the Raven and Cardinal. Both have the sound pressure tolerance needed to handle live sound environments and superb audio response specially suited for vocal response. Unlike most live sound microphones, these microphones sport a large diaphragm giving them superior response and smoothness. Both mics also have the frequency response pattern you come to expect from EV and Blue.

The Raven - An extremely responsive dynamic microphone. At $149.99 it is perfect for DJ's, Karaoke, and anyone needing a fatter sounding microphone where phantom power is not available. Karaoke professionals will specially love the sound this mic will provide and still work well with their existing equipment.

The Cardinal - A condenser mic designed for the more demanding environment of live performance yet still provide studio like clarity and responsiveness. The diaphragm is buried deep in the body greatly reducing it's feed back potential and cutting down on handling noise. At $199.99 this mic is a steal for those looking for the superior sound a condenser mic can provide. Make sure your mixer can provide phantom power.

DJS Commercial goes international!

DJ Supply newsletter!

DJS Commercial, a division of DJ Supply Company, has gone international. In mid February after over a year of planning DJS Commercial completed an international install at the College of the Bahamas in Nassau.

Dennis Danneels and Robert Kuron over came many challenges associated with being in a foreign country. These challenges included: customs, transportation, no availability to get last minute parts, outrageous prices for everything, and sometimes not so friendly greetings from the locals; plus, no cell service and limited internet service. But most importantly a tight 6 day time schedule was overcome as DJS Commercial provided the College of the Bahamas and the small island the equipment for a government funded, college run radio station.

When it was all said and done, the list of equipment included:

1) Soundcraft RM1DS Broadcast console and Meter Bridge.
4) Pioneer CDJ 1000
4) Technic 1200 MK2
4) Sure White Label Cartridges
2) Rane MP 44 Mixers
2) Rane DC 24 Compressor Limiters
2) Rane HC 6 Headphone Amplifiers
1) Rane Audio Routing Matrix
2) Electro Voice RE 20 ND
8) Electro Voice RE 27 ND
3) Pairs of Alesis M1 Active Studio Monitors
11) Sony MDR 7506 Headphones
2) Denon PMD 570 Flash Card Recorders
10) Electro Voice Shock Mount Kits
1) Symetrix SYM 6000 Audio Delay
1) Symetrix SYM 528E Voice Processing
1000 Feet of Mic Cable
500 Feet of Line Cable
200 XLR and !/4 inch connectors
Plus 3 On Air Lights, Boom Arms, Misc relays and connectors.

This impressive list of gear provided the College of the Bahamas 2 mirror image studios, and one master control room that would rival many radio stations in the United States.

Gurth Ford, Director of Management Information Service, said on our last day “I am proud of the work you have done here”. He also stated that the gear that DJS Commercial installed was better than any radio station gear on the island. He said we provided the College not only a learning environment, but with an opportunity to reach the entire Island (and perhaps, at a later date, Miami, Florida) with an informational as well as musical diversity not currently heard on the Island. Gurth Ford stated that once the word gets out of the quality of work performed by DJS Commercial, many other organizations would be seeking out our services.

Pehaps a DJ Supply Company in the Islands mon……Stay tuned.

How do CDX and HDX compare with the Denon and Pioneer table-top players?

A Question for Biff!

"How do CDX and HDX compare with the Denon and Pioneer table-top players? "

This question was recently asked and Biff thought he's share his answer with everyone.

HDX is a new and innovative piece that allows an external hard drive to be inserted into the unit with all of your music. Plus it still plays CDs. So there is really no standard to compare it to.

In my opinion, and EVERYONE has one. It really depends on what you are going to do with them……

Mobile, I would stick with the Pioneer or Denon (again my opinion) because the CDX is heavy and I personally would not want to cart them around. I would definitely buy them if I was using them in a bar or home application.

That being said, I think the CDX is one of the most innovate products of last year…..it has the feel closest to a turntable….good response effects and such.

So if you are a turntablest looking for the feel closest to your 1200’s this is your piece. If you are a mobile DJ who does a lot of traveling and likes the feel of the Pioneer or Denon, I wouldn’t switch.

May not be the answer you are looking for, but it is hard to just give a yes or no answer….All three are on display in the store and available on the web site. The best bet is to play with them and see what you think.

Not a very committal answer, but the real difference is a matter of feel and not one of technical comparison. If you are in the Detroit area drop into one of our stores and we'll be more than happy to help you choose what is right for you.

NAMM - Day 2 & 3

Friday was yet another busy day at the NAMM show. Due to a bunch of confidentiality agreements that we had to sign, I can't really get into many things that we saw. However, there are a couple of tidbits that I can pass along.

Numark had a prototype of their hybrid tunrtable/CD player. It is basically the TTX and the CDX merged together in one unit. The motor is solid as heck and it is a very sturdy piece. We also got a chance to see the Numark HDX CD player with built in hard drive and they also have a new single DVD player out called the VJ01 and the corresponding mixer, the AVM02. The video pieces are the next generation of products brought out by Numark.

Pioneer also showed a couple of new products, the DJM-800 and the DJM-400. The DJM-800 is a 4 channel mixer with all the standard effects plus some new ones, and FULL midi control. Basically, you can use it as a midi controller to control any software that you own. It's pretty cool. The DJM-400 is the new 2-channel mixer from Pioneer that also has effects and is also designed to go along with the CDJ-200's, but it really can be used with anything you so choose.

Another neat product that we saw was a new portable staging system from Road Ready. It's actually very affordable and could be a good product for a DJ to add to his system. I mean, how could you not want a portable stage system for a good price??

Today was more of a research day with an appointment with Edirol/Roland and we also were looking at other software manufactures. We talked to the good folks at M Audio, Ableton, and Native Instruments. I really didn't see anything new and groundbreaking in the way of software, but we did hammer out a few details of what software we are going to start to carry.

It's going to be an exciting year for us in 2006, we will be taking on new products and growing as a company in ways that we never have before. Stay tuned as to what the future holds for us in the next year!

As a reminder, don't forget to check out our wonderful pics from the NAMM '06 on DJSupply.com.

NAMM Day 1

Today was the first day of the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. We had a pretty lengthy day with lots of appointments with manufactures. We saw ADJ, Odyssey, Rane, Gemini, Cortex, American Audio, Arriba, Chauvet, Crown, JBL, Lexicon,Tapco, Crate, B-52, and Omnisistem. Needless to say, it was rather lengthy and we logged a lot of time on our feet.

On to the goods...

One of the pieces of gear that really peaked our interest was the new Rane TTM57SL mixer. The nice thing about it is that it has the Scratch Live scratch amp built into the mixer and it also comes with the Scratch Live software. (see pic below)





Not only does the TTM57 have the scratch amp essentially built in, but it also has added controls for controlling the software from the mixer itself. What kind of functions you ask? Well, when the mixer comes out around the summer time, Scratch Live will have implemented effects into the program and the mixer will actually be able to control the effects parameters, too! This piece is definitely going to be a hot item once it's released and we have already placed our order for some.

Another cool piece we saw was the HDC-01 Digital Music Controller from Cortex. What this piece is a dual CD player controller that you can hook into an external hard drive or iPod and play and control your music files from it! It takes the laptop out of the equation while still letting you play songs off of your hard drive. This unit is a very interesting piece and could really change the mobile DJ industry. We were told that the product won't be released until later in the year, so keep checking back to DJSupply.com for more info. Here's a pic in
