We look forward to see pictures of your DIY DJ desks in the comments.Click to expand.A board of wood or bamboo or whatever can never provide isolation. The monitor stands are skateboards.Ī lot of thanks for ideas and pictures go to Jason Kurth (Xonetacular), Priscilla (armyofme4340), Alex, my beloved Anne, Tekki’s daughter Riley with her pink laptop, and every DJTechTools-member who posted in the thread. It was solely made from recycled components. This desk has a special place in my heart. Here are a few other tables that might inspire you to build your own DJ table: By slimming the desk down and removing the monitor stands you can get in the $150 range. While that might seem more expensive than you were hoping for, $200 for something that is perfectly designed for djing is really amazing.
TURNTABLE STAND IKEA FULL
Here is a rough calculation of what it would cost to build the full model with double depth. You can either use the 4 piece set DIODER($39.99) or a flexible strip RGB LED light like this one on Amazon (~$30). IKEA has some multi-color LED strips for that purpose. In that case you are better off with height-adjustable GODMORGON legs ($8-10) for the LACK shelves attached to the desk.Īlthough we’re used to operate in the darkness you probably want some additional lighting either for the looks or to see a little better. Active monitors are in most cases too heavy for this approach. You can add another level with CAPITA legs and small LACK shelves ($6.99) to the desk. They should be aligned towards your ears. You want the speakers to be at the same height as your ears to get the best possible sound. You can use straight or angular CAPITA-legs again which we already used for the base of the desk. Therefore I installed a LACK wall-shelf ($19.99) on top of the desk. BJÄRNUM is also available as a foldable version but only comes in packs of three ($9.99).ĭJs today (especially the controllerist-type ones) tend to have a load of other stuff lying around next to turntables and mixer. Having another level on the desk with room for the laptop or CD players is ideal.
Choose accordingly to your height! You can also use three LILLÅNGEN leg frames ($25.00) which should yield better stability.Īnother way to raise the height is to mount some straight or angular CAPITA legs ($15.99 / 2 pack) between a bookcase and VIKA AMON tabletop ($19.99) on top of the desk.Ī nice addition is to mount a BJÄRNUM-hook ($4.99) on the side of the table which can hold your headphones. The CAPITA legs are available in three different heights ranging from 4 to 8 inches. The following picture illustrates the right height where your fore- and upper arm are almost in a right angle. If the desk is too high on the other side you may suffer from shoulder and neck pain. Therefore if you need to bend down to use the equipment you may end up like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hopefully, you will spend a lot of time behind that desk. It is very important though that your body is erect and the shoulders back, in line with your spine. The right height of the desk is one consideration often overlooked.
In case you choose to use two EXPEDIT bookcases you should screw them together for stability. These alone only have a height of 31 inches so it’s recommended that you should mount 4 straight CAPITA legs ($10-14 / 4 pack) below them.
The desk consists of either one or two EXPEDIT bookcases ($ 69.99) depending on how deep you want it to be (if you only use one you can’t use turntables in battle position). This is a famous solution amongst DJs because you can store a lot of vinyls in its spaces.
TURNTABLE STAND IKEA HOW TO
There’s a lengthy thread in the forums about how to build a cheap and cool-looking DJ desk even if you’re not a carpenter.
The DJTechTools community not only excels at creating controllers but is also very creative when it comes to furniture. It can cost anywhere from $125-$250 for a fully souped-up model. Today I am going to walk you through a fantastic design for a home DJ booth that rivals most clubs but is surprisingly affordable – all using readily available IKEA parts. It’s expected that most of you have invested a lot of your hard-earned cash in the latest and greatest DJ gear, so you probably don’t have much left to spend on a fancy DJ booth. We taught you how to get your foot into the clubs and rock them but there’s still a good chance most DJs will spend the majority of their time in a home, bedroom or studio.
