3 years ago when I started djing. I searched everywhere for a step by step video and couldn't find anything. Thank you for this. It will help up and coming djs with setup. I still learned some thing tho.
I’ve been in the DJ business for over 25 years and I’m now using this to all new employees this is my instructional video. I personally would rather hard wire my lighting instead of wireless there is always an issue but this was a great video awesome job! I’m in NJ if your looking for work!
Thank you DJ BARR for all the infos. Its very generous of you and alot of help. I did my first quinceañera yesterday for my niece and I applied some of your techniques. The fam will remember that special night 4ever. And on the business side, it got me 3 possible gigs on upcoming quinceañeras.
Thanks for sharing. I have 2 x JBL 310 bluetooth speakers and a Pioneer XDJ-XZ controller. That i plan to take out in the park next summer. What power station are recomended for a DJ controller like mine ? Looking for 4-6 hours play time.
Love the set up! This is your set up for your Events as well? You connect the XLR cables straight from the Pioneer to the Sub and then to the Speakers without using a Mixer ?
Nice clean setup and informative video. Never been a fan of tv screens although of the many setups I've seen they do look good with this setup! How do dj's safely transport TV's - I'd be a nervous wreck worrying if they are going to get damaged!
@@johncolon8614 for mobile events TV screens are too OTT for me. Just use a LED messenger or scrolling digital moving message for personalisation. Focus should be on the music and lights. Too many 'extras' being offered by some
Another great vid as always Barr. I’m DJing an outdoor birthday party in April. I’ll be setting up on their lawn. Obviously I can’t tape my cables to the grass. Any suggestions to limit tripping hazards?
You can use cable conduits, rubber mats, rugs, hallway runners or cable tie them off the ground (up a tree or pole or fence). Plenty of options for you.
Great info, luv HOSA, my setup is similar except I use a small FX10 Mackie or Yamaha board, I stopped going direct from the mixer or controller to the subs and tops. I'm using Yorkville subs, QSC tops & Pro X products, their Mesa DJ facade with tv mount and totem truss for monitors or lights but I'm interested in your video visuals. Can they be used for live streams on Twitch, FB Live, Twitter Live etc..? If so then we r good to go..
Great info. Nice work! When making patch cables, I use friction tape. This way the zip ties don’t hurt or catch your hands. Also, they melt and produce nasty sticky residue after a hot day. I make patch cables for all my audio as well as lighting to save time.
Nice job all pro straight to the point top of the line equipment and you didn’t even go in to how you became a DJ or who your mom is or none of the stuff that makes you hate TH-cam videos
@@oscarbjerregaard4215 but it’s not the same.... what the mixer does is give the speakers more punch and for the microphone you have more of a eq then just plug in play you can hear the difference with and without mixer lol
I think he's aware of what a mixer does. Having more punch 👊 is not neccessary when he's running those bad boys. Go to one of his events and you will see.
This was a really good informational video man. I really appreciate you taken the time out to do this one. Glad Christians back too man. Can't wait to see you back in it this year.
Hi Jio, I use an HDMI Splitter for mine since my laptop has 1 HDMI output. So I run the HDMI out of the laptop to the input of my splitter. Then my splitter has 4 HDMI outputs so I run those to my TVs and all of them get the signal and display the video in sync with each other. You can get multiple different splitter sizes ranging from 2 outputs all the way up to 16 or 32 or something. I go with 4 though in case I add a 3rd or 4th screen in the future. Also, I recommend getting the same tvs to better keep them in sync, or at least tvs with similar features. Especially with the video quality (4k, 1080p, 720p) and frames per second. Typically the splitter will recognize the lowest quality screen and that will be the type of signal all the tvs get. But I have seen different monitors on the same setup, where one seems to lag and it was different than the other display. Hope that helps.
For labeling, I would suggest that you write XLR3FT - COMPANY NAME, stick it on the cable and put a heat-shrinkable sleeve to cover it. You can also add an electric color tape between XLR3FT and your company name, to see which lenght is the cable. I am not super fan of these white labeling like you do, as it can become dirty and also not very elegant if you have cable on the floor or get glued with gaff tape. Just my opinion 😎
Hey hope all is well thank you thank you thank you so much for these videos man they help so much it’s unbelievable. Can you please do a tutorial as to tv mounting to the truss. Like what you need and how to do it please sir 💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Zip ties will make the wire heat up and eventually stop working, your label will eventually come off after a couple of uses. I recommend colour electric tape for each size of wire. Example: grey for 3ft wire. For labeling I recommend putting your logo and then adding heat-shrink tubing on top. It will never come off.
@@BayardoRugama you are missing a static voltage stabilizer (dynamic Voltage stabilizer, pure sine wave output!).. with inverter pure sine wave (helps to save gear)
Grasias mi estimado amigo por tomarte el tiempo de mostrarnos este producto yo utilizo todos los cables xrl de mi audio son hosa silver. Y son estupendos de excelente calidad y lucen muy bien por ser todos en color negro 👍👍👍👍
Nice video. I find alot of gigs I play I have deal with a singer or emcee who loves to walk in front of the speakers so when in front of speakers causing feedback so I run every thing through a mixer and ensure the microphone signal does not go through the Subs and I can use an EQ to remove some frequecy that is causing feedback. QSC Touch 8 Mixer, compact but versatile.

@DJ BARR Why do you not use Square base speaker stands I do understand your facade covers the tripods is that why?
Will those visual packs work on Virtual Dj though?

how do you plug this in without causing a power outage?
Love how you use the subs as a stage for the guests of honor. Pro tip right there!
Love the hacks! Haven't loved my Hosa products in the past but awesome to see how the big dogs are doing things and learn from the best.
Hi thanks for your videos. I was wondering if you could do a video on your TVs and connecting your TVs and the equipment you use to mount them? Thanks
How are the TV visuals sound-activated? Do you use a certain program?
How do you secure your moving heads to totem?
Good video bud - what mounts are you using for the TVs?
Great information, thank you. Which cables do you recommend?
Amazon
@_Djbarr. Oh yeah?
What type of facade is that? And where did you buy it.
How are you securing the moving heads to the totem????

Thanks for the how-to. Just curious why you didn´t scrim the speaker stand and speakers white?
Stunning DJ set up, love the video screens - very impressive! DJ-envy big time!
Barr what happens if you only have on sub or using one sub do you use the the right or left or do you start sigh your speakers
Is everything connected to the same outlet?
Any one else think the video is sponsored by Hosa
Isn’t it?
What’s up Barr! Would you recommend plugging in your sub into booth input?
If I had a pound for every time you say ‘hosa’. I would be a very rich man😀😀
I should have put a count lol
@@BayardoRugama yep
So did you use a splitter for the speakers from the DDJ??? I'm barley starting with a budget Hercules with a single RCA output
How do you overlay the text on top of the TV visual backgrounds?
Hello DJ. How long does it take you to set the same thing up and tear down in a venue. Also approximately what is the charge in your area. Thanks
does the dmx terminator helkp stop the airstream signal from dropping? i had issues where i didnt have the terminators
Love the videos keep them coming. How many circuits/outlets are you using and do you have all speakers running on one surge protector?
I appreciate this video! Excellent teaching!
What tv mounts are you using?
Love the set up!
This is your set up for your Events as well?
You connect the XLR cables straight from the Pioneer to the Sub and then to the Speakers without using a Mixer ?
I need you to make a video just for the visuals from hooking up --> what you do on the computer
Please do a video on how you get your visuals synced to the tempo of your music!
Hey DJ Barr if you’re running all that equipment why don’t you use a DBX Driverack?
one big oozing ad, but im happy you got a lot of stuff from em.
Great video! Thank you very much! Very informative and insightful!
I just bought these same exact JBL speakers & wow! Very powerful!! I am very curious about what JBL subs those are? Are they able to keep up?

Thanks man
Do you just plug everything into one power strip?
We do 2 one on the left and one on the right
@@BayardoRugama Does DJ equipment like that typically run off one, maybe two 15-20 amp circuits?
Vinyl electrical tape turns to goo when it gets hot. I recommend Tesa fabric tape.

Is there an app you use to play/cue the Visuals? or do you just play them in vlc/any video player?
Serato video most likely
Definitely interested in the visuals pack
peace barr , what software program do you use for your visuals and how to connect each screen .

I just have one question how come you didn’t use a mixer? To run you powerspeaker and sub...
Because they're powered active speakers and sub. There is a built-in mixer in both speakers and the sub :)

how big is your laptop?

Those smaller power cables are still IEC (IEC covers a range of plug types), but generally called Figure 8's.
The "playstation" cable is a figure 8 cable.
You can still get protection for it too. Figure 8 can be equipped with Ferrite cores & a fuse.
