Congrats on your podium, it elevates your dj setup appearance a lot!
Thanks Daryl!! Yeah, I have to say it really is cool looking for sure. I've used it on one gig so far and I enjoyed the experience.
You did it! 👏🏾 I kept my Rane One inside my ProX case and opted to put my Pioneer Rev1 inside my ProX Tower to keep it lightweight. That left me room to place my Soundswitch controller flush next to my Rev1. Drilled additional holes like you for antennas but I also drilled for a DMX mount to my wireless DMX antenna. I installed a half rack Atlas IED power conditioner and placed that in the slot underneath the DJ controller next to a Phenyx Pro wireless mic receiver. On the shelves I installed a small prewired mixer and left an empty shelf in case I want to add another mic receiver. Finally at the bottom I cut out a panel and installed two XLR output connections and a Powercon connection. Decided to set them in about 3 inches so I would not accidentally kick them. So when setting up or breakdown, I am only connecting/removing two XLRs and one power line from the top part. The cable runs live with the tower/base.
Do you have the measurements of the bags? I really need that brother!
That sounds awesome!! I would love to see a video of your setup and modifications of your ProX Control Tower! I am waiting on the Tuki people to get the links up on their website to my cases. They are telling me the links will be up "soon." As soon as they tell me the links are up, I am gonna add them to my video description so stay tuned. Shouldn't be too much longer.
Hey Supe. Are you still in AZ or back in the ATL?
Looking forward to this 2legit 👍🏽🕺think I'll sit back and have a cuppa tea ☕️ when it premieres 😁
Have a blessed day my brother 🙏🏽 🇬🇧👊🏽
Yes, grab your favorite snacks and drinks and enjoy this review because it's 30 mins long. Ouch! Lol
You’ll never go back to a black scrimmed picnic style table. Looks super fresh!
Believe it or not, I still use a black scrimmed folding table too. I just did a family reunion and a casino pool party this past weekend. Guess what I used? Yep, the black scrimmed folding table. I do so many events that you guys would never know about and they are not weddings or corporate events. I only plan on using this ProX Tower at certain sophisticated events. My motto is always try to use the right tool for the right job. Anyway, thanks!! 😁
Finally a honest review of the DJ Control Tower i can actually believe. Many DJs be lying and over hyping some of these gears that it becomes completely misleading. Out of all the DJ furniture out there the control tower was and is still my favorite and your video has served as an encouragement for me to truly consider it as an option or alternative to my standard white setup with a facade. Many thanks brother and congratulations on the purchase.
Thanks Flowtunes! Yep, it's my favorite too because of the way it looks. Hopefully you all will see it in a gig log soon! Peace my brother!
Yes we do this for our clients but we also do it for ourselves! Great purchase. Always investing in you and your business
Yep, I totally agree! Sometimes I think we do it MORE for ourselves than for our clients lol.
A great great video nicely done keep putting in that content.Beautiful upgrade
Thanks!! I was really trying not to make the video too long but it still ended up being 30 mins lol. Oh well, I tried. Glad it seems everyone is enjoying it though.
Man that’s awesome ! They don’t call you Dj2legit for nothing ! Congrats on the buy , I love it man !
Hahaha thank you!!
Congrats On Your New Furniture I Own The Buun Gear Command Center But Maybe I Will Get This Booth Also Because It Looks Lighter Than Mine Awsome Video & Explanation Thanks
Great video I am starting out my mobile dj business I appreciate your tips thank you for the info very helpful this is a professional look
Thanks and good luck!!
Great video! There are other channels and posts out there implying that this booth is 180 lbs. The cases, with wheels, are heavy. But the actual booth itself is around 50 pounds. I've been pretty disappointed in a lot of those "influencers" and I question there motives every time I see them now. Your video was honest, creative and really inspiring. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much my friend!! Yes, that's why I always steered very far away from this booth because I've always heard it was extremely heavy. Imagine my surprise when I saw it in person and picked it up with my own 2 hands. I just couldn't believe how small and lightweight it actually is. I try to keep it real and provide information that is truly useful to DJs. Glad you enjoyed my efforts!
@@DJ2Legit007I stopped using the cases....they were TOO heavy. Bags from ProX are perfect
That’s awesome you got such a great deal on this! Also the way you had the custom bags built and saved so much weight was genius! Got me thinking about getting a bag made for my booth as well. Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Shay! This also fits in a 50 inch Gator TV soft bag. I think that's the same bag Peck uses to transport his Lavish Booth in.
Well Done Legit honest review and best of luck
Thanks!!
Your setup looks clean👌 very nice...
Another post saving my work morning! I have same podium. It’s a dope setup!
Do you use the hard cases or soft cases? And yes, I agree this podium looks dope as hell.
I never thought I would see the day! 2Legit got himself some DJ furniture 😜, Congrats brother it's going to be a game changer.
Yeah, I can't believe I bought this thing either. I need help lol. I know damn well I did NOT need this thing lmaooo! 🤣🤣🤣
@@DJ2Legit007 I hear you, it's just sometimes the equipment be calling us, like that crack that was calling Pookie in New Jack City 🤣, at one point I was thinking about purchasing this unit, but I built something similar check it out on my page I have a short that I made. Keep up the good content fam.
@@djswol Lol yep you are so right. We be acting like Pookie when it comes to new gear a lot hahahaha. I'm def gonna check out your video about your booth you made. Anyway, thanks!!
Sweet, enjoyed your video great job breaking down everything. Enjoy your new booth.
@@djwolligan3043 Thanks!!
Congrats on that purchase it really looks nice! Can't wait to see it on your gig logs!!!
Thanks bro!! Yeah, one day I am sure you'll see it in a video. I just don't have any new weddings on the books for this year at the moment, but I am sure something will come up soon where I will use this. I'll be sure to get some footage of it at a real wedding when that happens.
@@DJ2Legit007 I am glad you mention that fact that if you use an external mixer and few other things this booth aint for you. Lol that was another concern I had when looking for one of those and decided to built my own. the Danny ones are also nice but I still feel like is way too much money for it. mine option was way cheaper lol
Love to see a fellow DJ leveling up your game brother!! I got the Danny Maxx booth but I like this one as well! It seems slightly easier than mine to set up and breakdown! Great pickup man especially for that price!!!
Thanks!! Yep. It was the price, well plus how cool and sleek it looks, that sold me. But that price was just irresistible.
Mannn I've been waiting on this one brotha. I see you finally gave in 😅 but hey I can't blame you for that amazing deal. I can't wait to see it in person at the Expo in a few days. Coincidentally enough, there's a few guys literally right in my area that make a tower almost identical to the pro x. And get this, $1000 for the tower and they include soft covers so eventually I'll probably pull the trigger.
Also as a side note bro, you know what else would also work as a carry case, tv bags.
🔥 Video as always
Yeah if I hadn't run across this amazing steal of a deal, there is NO WAY I would have just gone out and purchased this thing lol. You already know my viewpoint on the matter. 😏
Your friend's version for $1000 sounds like a much better deal than this one to me. I'd go with that if you want this style. Also I have a Gator 50" TV bag and the top part fits perfectly in there. I tried it before I got the Tuki bags. I still prefer the Tuki bags, but yes, the Gator TV bag works well too.
I always enjoy your videos. I am looking for an affordable DJ Furniture for my Rane 12 and mixer. At the same time, I want something interchangeable to a controller. It's a tall ask, but I will find it. Since i have a rack system, the Control Tower will not work for me. However, i like the fact that it is lightweight. Finally, i love the fact that you have the Control Tower prewired for a fast setup. Great idea. Thanks!
I hear you. I wish you the best of luck finding the one that works best for you!
That's a really nice stand
Thanks!!
Great video; congratulations on your new slick setup
Thanks!! Glad everyone seems to like this purchase.
I’d cut a square in the top of frame for the sound switch on left or right… would look like the controller snug
I actually ordered another laptop stand. It fits perfectly on it.
If you get another arm for the laptop stand you could probably swing it around the side to hold your soundswitch if you wanted it to be more accessible!
Yep, I have considered that option as well. I need to experiment to see if I can get the Control One to fit on the stand. Just haven't tried it yet.
Just did a little experimenting and the laptop stand is able to hold my Control One with a little velcro. So I just ordered another laptop stand for it.
@@DJ2Legit007 it already looks clean, but that extra arm is gonna make it that much easier to reach!
Awesome review. Thanks bro!
Great video brotha
Next time please let Lucky help out, he was just trying lend you a paw. 😂 great video buddy!
Lol! Thanks!! Yeah, he's ALWAYS trying to lend a helping paw in everything I do. I should actually hire him as my roadie. He would love that lol.
Very nice Vince. I still use a plastic table but honestly i stopped doing weddings so dj furniture at shit events is over kill. Say hello to Lucky for me. ❤
Thanks!! DJ furniture is definitely not necessary. Lucky says hello back. Ruff ruff!
Vince...why are you replying to my stupid comment. Shouldn't your ass be djing some wedding?
Awesome video and booth
Thanks Joey!! It's not nearly as sophisticated as your booth, but it works for me. I love your booth, btw. Cheers!
@@DJ2Legit007 is all good bro
Whatever works for our personal needs.
@@DJ2Legit007 I’ll do a full review of mine soon
As always, bro fantastic video
Thanks Dan!!
Bunn gear is still a better booth. It already comes with bags and it’s very stable. It also already has the antenna holes too. I can see this booth wiggling when you put your hands on it. Not to mention the wood is going to start chipping at a point. Why don’t you Velcro the mic receiver in the top that what I do. Looks good though congrats.
Well since you sell Bunn booths, of course I would expect you to say this lol. Anyway, I like the look of the ProX Control Tower more than I do the Bunn booth. Just my own personal preference. I didn't know the Bunn booth includes soft cases at no extra charge. First time I've heard that but that is good news. Also great it comes with antenna holes too.
Not worried about the wood chipping. This booth is over 2 years old with heavy use and still looks great and I have paint to cover up any blemishes that might occur in the future. I did one gig with this booth so far and I really enjoyed it. At some points in my set, it did wobble a little when I was doing heavy scratching. Other than that, it was great!
Good idea about velcroing the mic receiver in the tower. I did think about that. Just haven't implemented it yet, but I think I will. I will velcro it to the stand part and not the top though because the top is small and doesn't have as much room as the Bunn booth. Anyway, thanks for your comment and perspective. Cheers!!
@@DJ2Legit007 I got some antenna adapters that I bought. I’ll forward you the link I think they will come in handy.
I don’t sell Bunn Booths lol I just did a bunch of research and found these were the best around regarding durability and convenience.
@djvinylriche Yes! Send me the links for the antenna adapters. Would love to check those out.
Okay, maybe I'm just confused but I could have sworn you told me you were a Bunn booth salesman and you even tried to sell me one in the past lol. My memory is quite foggy so maybe I remember it wrong. In any event, I don't think that any booth is perfect for everyone. People should buy the booth that most appeals to them, their style and preferences and their needs. I'm really glad there are more options in the market place than just the Bunn booth. 😉
Bunn booths do cost over 2 grand too so there's also that 😂
@@kevinsounds out here in Orange County California we’re charging anywhere from 4K to 8k for weddings so spending 2k on a booth that’s going last longer and with enough room to Velcro things down and set up fast it’s worth it.
Congrats! It looks more mobile than I originally thought. You don’t use an external mixer? Just straight trough controller?
I agree. This booth is way more mobile than I thought too. So glad i got to check it out in person. And no, I do not use an external mixer. I go straight from my controller to my speakers. Been doing it that way for years. I only use an external mixer when the situation calls for it which is hardly ever.
Hi @DJ 2Legit do you have a link for the wireless mic "Extender cables" that you used for the antennas? I have this booth in black and that is a great idea. Nice video btw.
You know that's a good question. I actually bought those cables from a local music store here in town. The guy at the store actually picked the cables out for me because I was clueless to which ones I needed. I remember I asked for BNC cables and he told me for my type of mic receiver that I didn't need BNC, but coaxial cables instead. I'm pretty sure that's what he sold me, but not 100% sure. So I think it depends on your type of mic receiver. I'll see if I can research anymore info on this. What wireless mics do you plan on using?
I went to the music store and looked up which cables I bought. I got the 10 ft Hosa 50 ohm BNC cables. hosatech.com/products/data/network-cable/bnc-58-100/
You'll also need 2 of these BNC couplers. hosatech.com/products/video/75-ohm-coax-adapters/nbn-302/
Use white tape for wires and white Velcro
@PriscillaEchols Gonna clean that AC vent today. Thanks lol.
I remember you preaching on not spending all that money when there are so many options out there. Even the "build your own". I guess if you got it for less than half, I might think twice as well.
Yes. I still agree with everything I said in the past. I still believe that DJ furniture is WAYYY overpriced and had this amazing steal of a deal not presented itself to me, I would not own this thing lol. My 2Legit T-Style table works just as good, if not better. I really like how this new control tower looks so I got it for mostly selfish self centered reasons. I definitely did not need it by any means. I was just being greedy. A victim of GAS syndrome. 🤣
@@DJ2Legit007 I would too if I got a crazy deal like that. I'm glad I took your advice though and found a portable bar on Amazon that had LED lights on it, drilled a couple holes in it, added grommets for cable management and now I have DJ furniture that looks just as good as those control towers. For $200!
Awesome 👌
Loving mine too bro! You have a link to those bags you put the prox in?
I just keep copying you bro. First the Rane One, now the ProX Control Tower. Sorry bout that lol. I wanted to put the Tuki links in my description, but they don't have the links on their website yet. I sent them a msg about that the other day. I will contact them again and get those links and then pass them to you.
@@DJ2Legit007 hahahaha, no apologies needed bro!! Copy me and be better than me I always say! ;) - Setup is looking clean. I'm going to do a video this week on mine as well and how I deal with the weight of the Rane One being in the top, and how I make it so easy to unpack it all together. Great video!!
@@djdannybhtx I am definitely looking forward to seeing that video!!
Great review! Can you let me know who to contact/how to order the soft covers? How much? Thanks!
If you want to order my Tuki soft bags for the ProX Control Tower, send an email to Andrew at sales@amplifiercovers.com and tell him you want to purchase the "2Legit ProX Control Tower Bags." He will know exactly what you want and get the right ones to you. It may be a long while before they publish the links on their website so you can order this way in the meantime. I don't know what they plan on charging for the bags at this time.
@@DJ2Legit007 Thanks so much!!!
Great video! I am looking to buy the Control Tower, but I'm hesitant to buy the hard cases. How much did the Tuki cases cost you? Also, what's the lead time to get the cases made?
Yeah I will NEVER use those big bulky hard cases lol. The soft bags from Tuki are a life saver to me. I can't say exactly how much I paid for the Tuki bags now because Tuki told me since the making of my video, they are now re-evaluating the price of the bags and don't want me to give out that information. So you'll need to ask them how much they are charging now. Sorry.
@@DJ2Legit007 I understand, no problem! Can you at least give me the dimensions of your Tuki cases so I can get a quote from Tuki? I appreciate you!

Nice, what case are you using for your control one???
This one. amzn.to/3yvcMke
... no links to the Tuki ProX soft cases?
@@Aty3Studios I'm still waiting on the Tuki people to publish the links on their website. They just sent me a message saying they are working on getting the links up as soon as possible. Once they get the links on their website, hopefully real soon, I will post the links in my video description.
@@DJ2Legit007 Fair enough! Thank you for the quick response. I too wanted to purchase this booth, but was hesitating because of the overall weight.
@@Aty3Studios You and me both!!
They got the links to the Tuki bags on their website now. You can see the links in my video description now.
Great video where did you get your antenna wires and how long are those wires.

@@pete91671 Okay, let me find out for you what I bought.
@@DJ2Legit007 Thank You my Brotha
@@pete91671 I'm still not exactly sure what these cables are. They look like BNC cables to me but I distinctly remember him saying I needed coaxial cables. I took close up pictures of the cables that I can send to you if you give me your email address. Hopefully the pictures will help you.
Hey 2Legit I just got one and it didn't have the top for the DDJ SRT1000.....Did yours come with that top ? If it did and you aren't using it would you be interested in selling it ??
Yes, I have the top for the SRT. It's just sitting around my house not being used. It's white of course. I think ProX is selling them for around $160. I'll be interested in selling it since I don't think I'll ever use it, even though I do own a 1000 as well.
@@DJ2Legit007 Hey man thanks for getting back !! I realized after I sent you the message that I have Black Prox so I would need a black top . But I do want the TUKI CASES you got , are they on their website or did they make them special for you ?
@THEDJMARKT No worries!! I had them make my cases, however I am speaking with them now about putting links to my cases on their website. They just told me they are working as fast as they can to get the links up. As soon as they get the links up on their website, I will post them in my video description.
How much did those tuki covers cost you?
The links are in the description.
Where did you get it half off?
@dj2big I got it from a DJ friend who bought it back in Dec and never used it because it was too difficult to transport in those huge cases so he decided to get rid of it quickly. He just wanted it gone from his garage to free up space.
How and weren’t did you get that for 1/2 price ?

I cringe when the top cover was hitting the platters lol
I missed that part lol. Not saying it didn't happen, I just didn't see it.
