On Thursday, March 8th Peachstate Audio hosted a DJ Seminar featuring manufacturers from Pioneer DJ, RCF, Sennheiser, and ADJ. This event was focused towards DJs who want to take their business to the next level by improving their skills through training and equipment knowledge.
After a break for lunch Jay Brannan of Pioneer DJ took the floor to present. Jay is a DJ himself, so he had some excellent tips for the audience as well as some tips on how to best utilize Pioneer DJ equipment. Jay covered the three controllers that he brought, and we have a video below of him comparing the DDJ-SX3 with the XDJ-RX2.
To kick off the event, Steve Wingo of Sennheiser presented on Proper Gain Staging. This targeted a frequent issue that DJs run into, feedback and distortion.
After laying down the basics, Steve transitioned to the product presentation of the new XSW-D Wireless. These simple, easy to use sets essentially eliminate the need for cables using 2.4 GHz connections between a portable transmitter and receiver. For a DJ, the Vocal and XLR Base sets are particularly useful. For more information about this line of products, check out the quick videos below.
Next up was Chuck Dillingham from Freed Sales representing ADJ. Chuck covered some DMX and Wireless DMX basics for DJs, then transitioned into some product offerings. ADJ also has the mydmx Go Bridge that connects wirelessly to tablets that makes lighting control even easier. ADJ has recently acquired Eliminator Lighting, a great value solution for Mobile DJs. There was also an ADJ V2 Video Wall, a great piece of equipment to add for those who also sell video services.

In addition to controllers, Jay also spoke about some of the Pioneer DJ headphones. In the following video, he compares the HDJ-X10, HDJ-X5BT, and HDJ-X7.
Last but not least, Justin Brock of RCF gave a presentation on some of the hottest loudspeakers on the market right now. While there was a wide array of products on display, the products that were best for Mobile DJs had priority during the demo. A hot item was the Portable Line Array J8 and JMIX8 Loudspeakers, and some of the attendees had already purchased them! These are a great satellite system setup that you can use without a mixer as the JMIX8 already has one built in. An especially useful tool for DJs is that you can bluetooth directly to them!
Justin also showed the brand new HD 15-A loudspeaker that had yet to launch in the States. It was an exclusive chance to see and hear these bad boys before their scheduled debut at the Mobile Beat DJ conference in Las Vegas the following week.
While those were the primary RCF loudspeakers featured, we also have a wide offering of products available to listen to in our showroom currently. Below is a snapshot of our "RCF corner" if you would like to come have a listen!
The first DJ Seminar at Peachstate was a big success and we would like to thank the manufacturers and customers who made it possible. If you have questions about any of the products shown here or want to learn more, you can call us at 1-888-732-2478 or visit our webstore at www.peachstateaudio.com.
