One extra thing I do on all my cases, an extra 2 rca’s from record out to your front panel. So videographers can plug straight in and grab the audio for the event/speeches if you’re not running external mixing board.
I would definitely show this video to my clients on my website so they just how much work goes into doing their event. You doing a lot to get paid a cheap price! Get that money!
Your clients don’t give a rip about how much work goes into your equipment. They’re paying for a perfect service. They don’t care how much work you put into it.
Great Vid.....A few tips.... Mounting neutrik connectors from behind the patch panels gives a much much cleaner look. It also puts less stress on the mounting screws as you connect/disconnect your cables. Running xlrs right next to PowerCon will likely induce a noticeable hum/buzz. I always leave a minimum 2 hole gap. Pioneer controllers/mixers have always had inferior mic inputs. It is their greatest Achilles heel. Even a cheapie Behringer/Alto/Pyle mixer will yield much greater sonic results....
Xlr isn't really the problem because it's symmetric and any unwanted noises should just cancel out. RCA is more concerning because its not symmetrical.
I understand everyone have these preference in where the cable connections are place but mind are located at the back of the case. I don't need cable infront of me to trip on. I also have some on the two sides of my case.
Nice tidy case, personally i like all my connections at the rear, there out of the way and no one can accidentally stand on the wires if they’re dropping down the front by my feet.
I’ve always wanted to do a setup like this! It looks super fun an easy to setup, but I hate not having gain on my ddj1000srt. I’m definitely doing this instead in an 8u rack case with a drive rack PA2!
Very nice case! I dont like the hot glue and the cut on the strip though. Looks messy. Why not make a 2nd bracket for the antenna and not cut the strip. Cutting it makes it look bad.
You don’t have to drop the cables through the holes… you can mount it through the back and just run the screws through it! Would have saved you a lot of time and a cleaner finished look.
Love it. Where will you put the power bar? Also if you wanted to add an IEM system, to send sound out to other speakers, would you be able to fit that as well?
Amazing video Rick thankyou. You think it’s hard to get parts delivered in the USA? In the UK we can’t even get the range of parts you can, we have to pay double to have it shipped over or make do with what we can get
Do antenna combiners hurt signal strength? Im using Sennheiser EW-D with dual antennas. Had a dropout after combining to one larger antenna. Thanks Rick!!
That person didn't recommend a case build because he didn't think it was a good idea to drill holes in the case because the holes don't look good if you're going to sell the case. It's an absolute time saver!!!
Hi Dj Rick Web , question is there a way to build a Coffin like that for my DJM S11 W/ 2 RANE 12” MK2 ? If so can you please direct me to the right please and a list of what parts are need ? Do you build these coffin yourself for people to buy them if so I will definitely by one from you - can want to hear from you thank you
Based on dimensions you should be able to put a 1u in that case but it will take some engineering (cutting foam, adding spacers,etc.) I do not offer this service to build cases unfortunately
@@kerbynormil4373 it’s a wireless receiver that can turn any speaker system into a wireless speaker. Faster set up with no more wires!! Very low latency in SKAA Pro mode
I love the upgrades! But does it make sense to attach an arm for the laptop, when the slider has a lot more space for other needed things? I would add the arm if the case did not came with a slider. Just my opinion… Another question, doesn’t that setup require a facade, which is something you have been telling DJs not use anymore, because is a thing of the past?
We prefer laptop to the side and it puts the laptop closer to you compared to a slider. And it makes the decks more visible to the audience. It doesn't require a facade go check out dj marcellus doe Instagram to see the setup
@@DJRickWeb Nothing requires a facade. Unless the person is a messy DJ. But I thought your promoting to go with a Bunn setup instead of a facade or the exposed equipment setup…Am I incorrect in what I have watched in your videos?
I build my own dj cases, I and am trying to modify the road case I bough with the slider, I stumble on your video, i'm just wondering how will you put the case cover back on, with that laptop holder sticking up?
Hey Rick, i dont understand, why u put the Powercon- and Audio-inserts on the Front and not on the back of the case. In my opinion it should be Better on the back of the Case because (1) when its on the front, the cables could be i in the way for your foots and (2) it looks cleaner when the Inserts are on the back (sorry 4 Bad english) Greez from Berlin, Germany
@@DJRickWeb I understand. But when there on the front they’re in my way. I always route my cables to the side from within my flightcase. But, everybody has their own preferences. Nothing wrong with that.
This whole video is nice but somewhat dated the case build was more relevant 2 or 3 years ago it’s nice to have but IMO it HONESTLY has come too totally hybrid style setup ups controllers are bigger and heavier than ever, most mobile DJ hates heavy wood style sliding cases to much weight to be lugging around ur lugging around a case weighs 3x the controller weighs the built in laptop holder is nice but still more weight that will eventually were out the case or constantly keeps getting loose, a nice laptop stand more convenient trust me.alternatives has come to facades or scrims much better looking and lighter a heavy case is not needed necessary cause ur covered by facade, just a alternative to the big case build I’ve done many case builds starting to realize there’s lighter options for mobility.
Used my sz case for 4 years no issues with the arm very reliable proven to be a good option. This setup doesn't use a facade. Or scrim that can hide anything. It all had to be built in.
I bought the pro x version of that case for half the price In February 2020. Odyssey cases are way over priced and it comes from the same place as pro x
@@DJRickWeb that ody case is $650 around $730 with taxes. In Canada. Odyssey makes good products but they literally think they are better then any other company. All my new gear I buy that can go in cases are all pro X now.
STOP!!!! Sell that DDJ1000 and get a XDJ-XZ or RX3...those laptop based units are outdated. Going stand alone with USB thumbs or a hard drive is much better---plus---I've seen your videos, its not like you're playing anything different from any of us coast to coast. You wont need a laptop to play Apache or Get low. Peace!
@@pstentertnmt ok it's cool, but in 5 years when all controllers are all in ones will you still have this. And will you think, man that dj Ernie was right. Lol
Heres a quick example why I am right. The last 2 weddings I did I rented xdj xz, used 3 flash drives. One had the tired old wedding dance songs you have including Yeah by Usher. One had cocktail dinner music and one had all the requests from the couple. 3 flash drives with maybe 2 crates in each. Saved time not opening up Serato. No laptop shelf either.
One extra thing I do on all my cases, an extra 2 rca’s from record out to your front panel. So videographers can plug straight in and grab the audio for the event/speeches if you’re not running external mixing board.
I did my case build following R.W and it saves me a lot of time. My SZ has been asked about plenty of times. I love it.
You were fortunate to get accessories
Would love to see a follow up video after many uses. Nice job

Xlr isn't really the problem because it's symmetric and any unwanted noises should just cancel out. RCA is more concerning because its not symmetrical.
Shouldn't be an issue with XLR since it's balanced. It's one of the reasons why XLR cables can be ran for long runs. RCA cables are a different story.
I put a 1u drawer in my case and power strip in the far back. Helps so much
That’s incredible - I agree it saves at least 30 minutes!
Don’t really like hot connections in my working area. I did a similar build but the ports are in the rear. Nice job though👍
Maestro le quedo excelente. Gracias por su tiempo y esta presentación.
Its a Great Case! I am ready for this Year!

Inspiring! I'm doing a very similar configuration inside a Odyssey FRGS802. Trying to make set up super simple and avoid the "spaghetti table" look 😁
Yes I dose I just finished my save me so time setting up
You don’t have to drop the cables through the holes… you can mount it through the back and just run the screws through it! Would have saved you a lot of time and a cleaner finished look.
Was just about to say that the round lip on the connector is to go through the hole in the rack mount, flush and neat
Love this! What size screws are u using to fix the power on on the through pass? Is it the M3 or M4. Need to order some 😊😊
Love it. Where will you put the power bar? Also if you wanted to add an IEM system, to send sound out to other speakers, would you be able to fit that as well?
Fit it in the back on the bottom tones of space
The all back looks sick until it starts getting scratched up.
Very true. That's why they make sharpies
Amazing video Rick thankyou. You think it’s hard to get parts delivered in the USA? In the UK we can’t even get the range of parts you can, we have to pay double to have it shipped over or make do with what we can get
How can I get one built for my Rev 7
where is the REV7 BUILT just got mine in
This build is basocally the same thing for the rev7. But also i just now got a case for it. Been on backorder forever
What are the screw slots used to hold amplifier/mic amp into place called??
Do antenna combiners hurt signal strength? Im using Sennheiser EW-D with dual antennas. Had a dropout after combining to one larger antenna. Thanks Rick!!
It ends up being the same. If your going from 1/4 to half wave. But if it was originally half wave antennas it will lower your signal
Would you recommend doing a case build or no,I was watching in another video someone saying its not a good idea doing holes on the case what you think
Absolutely! Case builds help so much with efficiency in your setup

The arm looks way sexier then a laptop shelf, and it puts the computer much closer. It’s the main reason to do this build.
Where did you get the brackets for mounting the directional antennas?
Amazon.

You can put that on the port panel too if you want

Dj Rick,
Would you make a case for me just like the one you made for my Pioneer 1009 srt? What would it cost me?
Thank you.
Probably around 5k
Can you send me all what you used for the mount for xlr port please I'm disabled and it would be easy for me

Hey DJ Rick Web, how can I get started with NLFX for a custom small rack? Thanks, Cam.
Email them. Go to there contact section on the website link in description
Where did you get the AUX panel mounts from?
Nlfx pro
I like it that idea, where can get someone to do that for me please? Would you be able to help me out?
I am considering it
Surf's up dude
Why would you take out the slider tray to install a laptop stand?
For a side laptop and to remove the blocking of the decks
Hi, DJ Rick Web - What Bracket you install the Rack on into the case, I did not see in video how you did it or the part link for it..
The case has a rack built into it. It came like that
What I ended up doing is bending a old rack and cut in into two attached it to bottom of case
What size is the base ? Measurements needed for installation back of case
Need the distribution about the setup I'm disabled and would be ez for me to setup
Nice!!!! wish you could help me with my case for the 1000 SRT
Where can i get the rca adapter
Amazon honestly or nlfx pro website

why do you use a laptop stand when there is a slider on which you can put the laptop? is it easier for you? or just preferences?
Where can I find those custom cables?
