  • Join me as I review my Bunn Gear Command Center. I will go over the core features, why I chose this DJ booth over some of the other DJ Furniture options on the market, some of the pros & quirks, and lessons I've learned while owning this DJ booth for the past 3-years.
    I also answer the burning question... will this thing actually make you money? Do clients actually care? Do you have to own one of these to be a part of the cool DJs club? I share some of my anecdotes.
    This is the perfect way to up your DJ Setup Presentation.

    I love the way you presented a very balanced view of the entire podium style DJ table debacle lol. You kept it real. No hype, just facts and experience. Great job! Btw, I gave you a shout out in my last video.

  • @JoeS795

    I love my Bunn Command Center. I get TONS of compliments. Setup time is about 10-15 minutes. I have it all pre-wired and plug and play. LOVE IT

  • @masterpdj2623
    @masterpdj2623 Год назад +2

    Thank you for a balance review. Most of my weddings have too much going on, extra mics, wireless tx to another speaker, paper work, personal wifi setup, mixer, dinner at my booth, water. I do about 160 weddings a year @2k a wedding and although it looks good I'll keep the facade. I see some furniture DJ's now with the facade behind them LOL. I also like the little space a facade gives me from that person who runs up on us who's had a little too much to drink. That's just me after being in the DJ game for over 40 years. BTW this isn't new we've had this setup 25 years ago with turn tables

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  Год назад +1

      I like having everything already pre wired inside so I just show up and plug n play. I didn't realize how much I hate taking wireless mics out of cases and plugging it into the mixer, and the DMX controller, etc... until I got this. It may not be the first podium style booth, but it's definitely one of the most portable and light weight ones.
      I don't understand the facade in the back either lol just use the facade

    • @DJDarylBennett

      Thanks for watching! I did eventually use foam and industrial velcro which helped for a bit but eventually had the same issue. Glad it's working better for you! Cheers

    Thank you for the honest review. I prefer using a facade and like you mentioned, lights reflect better on a facade.
    In my experience when I get booked for a party/event no one has asked me if I’ll be using a facade or podium.
    Thanks again for the review

  • @mattomeara65
    @mattomeara65 Год назад +1

    I'd love one of these and have been looking around for a better setup than a foldout table with a table cloth and flight case on top, but I don't think I can justify the cost and living in Australia the cost to ship it here is stupendous! Not to mention that down here I am finding more and more than people aren't willing to spend a lot these days for a DJ. Gone are the days where I could name my price and get the gig. Now I have to contend with bedroom DJ's and "my friend's cousin who is a DJ and can do it for cheaper".

    • @DJDarylBennett

    Just ordered one from the new batch the other day, your other video(s) talking about booths and your experience thus far with it helped me as I was doing research so thank you! Really looking forward to elevating the presentation, functionality, workflow and set up/tear down time coming from a Rockbooth XL (which served me very well but has it's flaws too, of course) and being able to pre-wire everything so it's more plug and play.

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  Год назад +1

      Awesome! That's so exciting, congrats on your new purchase. I definitely think it will speed up your workflow from a Rockbooth

      @@DJDarylBennett Thanks! And for sure, that will be huge. Next is to work on my lighting game...I'll be tapping in with your videos a ton on that front too😂 thanks for all you do and keep it coming!

  • @TheOnlyDjMikeStone
    @TheOnlyDjMikeStone Месяц назад

    Great information as always. Are you able to keep your controller and everything in the actual tower neck or does it have to be taken out as well during transport ?What stage are you using? Awesome content!!!

  • @BMLiveDJService
    @BMLiveDJService 2 месяца назад

    I live here in the Midwest and I just use a DJ Facade. No one around here even cares about your setup. Every venue I go to, they automatically provide a table for the DJ's. I always tell them that I have my own and don't like the look of using a table. Using the Bunn Gear will not enhance my setup but I'm sure other parts of the country it makes a difference especially at the larger venues.

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  2 месяца назад +1

      In a competitive market, it can definitely set you apart

    • @BMLiveDJService
      @BMLiveDJService 2 месяца назад

      @ i’m sure it will make a big difference in those areas since they want their DJs presentation to look very professional! Unfortunately, in my area couples actually price shop and go with the cheapest rates and think DJs are just a jukebox and nothing more! It is very sad!

  • @collinbischoff592
    @collinbischoff592 Год назад +5

    Not being able to safely leave the controller prewired in the case is a huge deal breaker for me

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  Год назад +2

      I get that. A hard shell or pelican style case would help keep things prewired

    • @jonathanberube5056
      @jonathanberube5056 Год назад

      Yeah that’s why I have stayed away; unless you have a huge case made to store it fully assembled.

    • @DJLazyKid
      @DJLazyKid Год назад +2

      @collinbischoff592 The updated rail system pictured here 6:12 allows you to keep a controller secured. It's much wider than the first Gen. I've had no issues keeping a sx2 velcroed in with a decksaver. I also use a small moving blanket on top with straps to keep the deck saver in place.

    • @Nogi-aka-DJNugz
      @Nogi-aka-DJNugz 11 месяцев назад

      I have one and was able to carry my controller in it. It was strapped into the top secured with a strap and deck saver.

  • @JoeS795
    @JoeS795 Год назад +2

    To add - I have a REV7, and have it velcroed down and use the cover. NO PROBLEMS. It does NOT move. I strap it down as well.

    • @DJDarylBennett

      That's also great to hear! I've just personally never had much luck.

  • @rvorne951
    @rvorne951 10 месяцев назад

    I have been really enjoying your videos! I noticed you have the Denon Prime 4 controller in the Command Center. How do access the power button in the Prime 4 controller? By removing the entire Command Center top? As far as I can tell you have to access the integrated power switch to turn the controller on - a power tap alone will not work.

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  10 месяцев назад +2

      It's really easy to remove the top, and removing the top at the beginning of every gig is part of the expected workflow

    I'm thinking of buying the bunn booth. Can I add on a drawer with a power conditioner and my mics? Can it all stay in the booth. Do I need to velcro stuff? Love your videos my friend.

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  Год назад +1

      Thank you! In the 19" rack you can install a drawer and power conditioner permanently. You can Velcro stuff in the top compartment, like a docking station. Thanks for the support!

      @DJDarylBennett  Год назад +1

    Great video! Appreciate the well balanced review! You got a super clean look! I’m considering a podium vs my current fascade. For your top, did you get the cut out to include your SoundSwitch? Thanks again!

    • @DJDarylBennett

      Thanks! For my first top, i cut it out myself. Then my second one included it

    • @JuliusdelRosario

      By second, did you just get it custom made through bunn gear and tell them that you need both controller and SS Dmx cut outs?

    Looks good. But not $2500 good. 20 years in and still just throw my gear on a table. My clients don’t care. Can see it being needed in a Miami, etc

    $2500 can buy you alot of gear. I tried selling my furniture as upgrades and not once has anyone even noticed the difference.

    • @DJDarylBennett
      @DJDarylBennett  Год назад +1

      Yeah it's true, very few guests care about the furniture directly, but it does improve your visual appearance indirectly, and clients are always watching on social media
