Wedding DJ survival kit 

Yes I agree with you regarding helping other vendors who are unprepared. There was one videographer who needed to patch in to my mixer to capture the speeches but he didn't have the cable but I had mine. In the end it was about teamwork

You have a wonderful attitude! I agree we are there to serve!

Excellent video brother! Love the custom powercon 4 plugs that double as extension cables and the wireless speaker idea!!!

As soon as you mentioned being prepared for the videographer because we get paid good money to make somebody's day special I hit the subscribe button. Good on ya.

Thanks for your excellent idea especially the powercon on your extension, that's very useful

Thanks for the awesome video and I appreciate you taking some time and sharing great advice.

Are you kidding, that is the best config I've seen to date. You are a definite follow and bell !

I couldn't agree more about making everything work even if someone else is not prepared. My focus is making the event the best it can be. I will help anybody anytime any way I can. Especially if it's audio. I guess doing live sound and playing in bands before djing has taught me about being ready. I always have my ipad open and ready with all the same music i need for the night just in case. It has saved my butt more than once!

taking your idea for powercon quad boxes!! that is brilliant!

great video! I had to start bringing a bag with paper towels and a regular towel. I opened a soda bottle right before the guest arrived and forgot it had been shaking around the tote , luckly I turned from the controller when I opened it and spray and fizz everywhere. So I would say towels,but no doubt you've probably thought of that

Always good to be prepared! totally agree!

Superb! Agree on the sennheiser. Guys need to spend the money where it counts. And you can never go wrong with their products.

Great video. Thumbs up. Good info on putting together a DJ “survival kit.”

Love It , been Djing since 1994 , great setup and yes agree really do not need to be the hero but nice to make your Bride & Groom happy at the end of the day ! again Great video and good idea's ! James

Ethical DJ like me. We need more of your kind in the industry.

thanks for the advice and the tips. You never know when you will need THAT cable that will save the night! wish you the best and keep the content.. saludos!

Great video. loving the powercon...

Thank you for this very informative video.

Very resourceful , thank you for doing this

@JoeBunovsky great video , practical information well presented, i really liked your idea of using a sennheiser transmitter kit tx/rx kit in reverse to overcome the dreaded long runs and doorway/access issues, what are your systems UHF or VHF ? The only thing i couldn't see that hasn't been mentioned below (torch/earplugs/swiss knife mentioned already) were cable ties (zip-ties? you may call them) i usually have a CO2 and a first aid kit too, thanks for the video !

Great Video. Much appreciated from another fellow Dj.

Great tips. Going to share with my Los Angeles ADJA group.

I always carry a cheap portable controller in addition to my big rig gives me more control and I typically use it for the ceremony or cocktail hour

Great video. Thank you for the tips.

Thank you. For sharing.

Thanks for your post, I am not a DJ but I emcee events and officiate weddings, sometimes I need to bring my gear and like you I always carry with me just in case. I will be adding a few more things to my kit!

Best wedding kit ever

Great video! I would just add stuff like a flashlight, pocket knife, earplugs etc.

I added black and white all purpose ties, they come in handy!!!

Just make it work, Best way to put it. Be the hero

Great Video!!

Very nice setup. Lots of DJ.s can learn from you. I worked at a country club. Wow the stuff i havw seen scary. They always ask for batteries cable and extention cord and duck tape. Some guys call themselves DJ’s

I wish i could be as organized and prepared as you, my gear and cables are a mess.

great video only thing i think you could add is an apc back ups unit

thanks for video , appreciate it

I got to say to be honest out of all the people that I check out cuz you never know when you get good ideas you have a tremendously awesome idea very very nice got to do a couple of those myself way to go brother

I loved the video and I really like your kit, if only I could suggest something it is to have some 240v adapters and maybe a piece of wire with a female plug on one end and just bare ends on the other so that, in case of extreme emergency you can wire your own outlet off of whatever plug or panel they have on site, not something i would do every week but it has saved my ass multiple times when everything available was 3phase industrial power

The tablet good idea, how do you do the power boxes? That's a cool idea, and what's the name of the wireless mics kit , I may have to borrow that one!!!

The only thing I would change in your kit (or add to it) is a passive stereo DI, not just mono; for balancing and unbalancing stereo signals.

Wow nice video. I love the idea about the wireless speaker system can you share the model# if you don’t mind thanks

Bluetooth adapter. Ya never know man ... Great video. What is the model of the seinheiser adapter sir ?

I always carry an extra speaker too.

nice and helpful bro

really awesome kit! where did you source black 12/3?

Wow thats cool. Another Dj that thinks like I do. Ive been Djing for 24 plus Yrs and u never know what could happing at a gig. But to make It more organized you should slim it down a little. Because if your gear is well maintained you should have very little or no problems. In any case is alway good to be prepared.

Excellent video! Btw, that is a 1610 case. ;-)

Is that a Porsche? Nice video, good tips

what kind of pro audio adaptors to you have? That is a great ideal and I never though of it and I am not sure which ones to get?

I recommend d c sound op

@ J&S Entertainment, where do I find the Sennheiser mic kit for wireless speakers and if it is possible could you please do a demonstration video. Thanks.

You mentioned the tent situation where you have to share a breaker with the lighting, kitchen staff etc. You then said that you had a solution and went into how to use a wirelss mic to make a wireless speaker? But if its a powered speaker youd still need to get power to it and that doesnt address the sharing of a breaker. Was hoping you had some amaxing solution but i didnt hear it

LMAO connect consumer grade into commercial grade equipment, ive always bring the accessories pack for auxiliary audio for videographer audio feed

I’d like to know more about that wireless speaker connector, brand, part numbers, etc

I transmit wirelessly with shure lavalier kits I buy off of Ebay. Same concept but 1/3rd the cost.

Have you tried the Fifine wireless mic?

4:04 - "this...ued to be a case for something else." haha. I know (have) that case

don't forget the Domino's pizza light for the top of the car! hahaha

Me puedes decir porque un conector de powercom es azul y lo otro blanco por favor

when you said you do wireless speaker and you extended it what do you do about the delay

I would recommend changing all your PowerCon to TR1. Its the upgraded version of PowerCon and its just a lot easier to work with. Although getting your head wrapped around the connections can be a bit difficult, they have been for a few people I've worked with

you need some Milwaukee Packout

Will you be switching to True1 any time soon? I love it much more over powercon. You don't need the joiners!

Brilliant! No first aid items though?

I ready for war bro ... impresionante

No lighting?

Why use Speakon Connector for AC Power.

Con you do a tutorial of the quad boxes ?

Hey is that wire. Sj cord or-soow..??

The quad power connector was a good idea, I however did something a bit different, I purchase a six wires flexible cable from Amazon, and a 10 plug under cabinet power strip, opened the power strip, and wired the cables to different sections, on the other end I installed the male power plugs, and I connect them to different sockets on my dj table power strip box, now I can control different lights, on and off with the flip on a switch... yes I know DMX right?, well DMX is great for many things, but for light with gobos or laser, is better to keep them running on sound, so I need it a way to shut them off at will.Great Video BTW.the quad power connector was a good idea, I however did something a bit similar, the quad power connector was a good idea, I however did something a bit similar,

“Paid good money,” how much do you charge? Where I’m from plenty charge about $400, some less. I personally don’t think that’s good money. Just curious what you charge?

How much RAM on that surface pro ( I have the surface pro 4

Where in ct are you outta?

Your prepared for Armageddon great 👍

You put a 20amp outlet on a power cord that’s 15amps. That’s going to cause overloads

Sorry but powercon needs to saty overseas

Its always you're problem. Go the extra mile to keep the party rolling. Its the game we chose.

The dj is at the bottom of the barrel. No one makes less money and puts in More work than us. I dont show up to an event thinking of anyone other than myself. Videographer, photographer, they all make more money than the dj. Why should i pend my money on stuff i dont need just incase i need to bail out a unprepared soul.

I would like to share with u on what I made but I can’t seem to be abLe to send u pics. Message me then I can.
