For the sound system, he passed up the rackmount twin CD option in favour of two of the individual Denon DN-S1000 tabletops, which also support MP3. Denon were able to design this as an affordable, entry-level product after first adapting the template of the award-winning DN-S5000 into the feature-rich DN-S3000. With the DN-S1000 they have achieved their next objective - by reducing the footprint of this portable device to a mere 226mm x 92mm x 215mm - while still retaining advanced MP3 functionality.
Installed by Ascot Audio, the devices were a perfect fit for the booth, and Sansom says the DN-S1000's have been very well received. "You can see by the wear and tear that they are being well used as more and more DJs go down the CD road. None of the kit in the DJ booth has let us down."
