Transporting a DJM-900NXS Hey DJTT'ers!
I just made the decision to get a DJM-900NXS mixer for my new set up! I play a lot of venues that require me to bring all my own gear except for a PA System so I'll have to take my mixer with me pretty frequently, so it's over to you guys. What is the best way to transport this mixer?
Thanks in advance! |

I really want to buy a 900, but my lady would kill me. I just spend a good amount of money on a pair of K12's and a KW181.

That's exactly what I have. So plan is then, I'll get the standard case and just pull it out when I set up so my X1's can set next to it then I'll use my Crane Stand for my lappy. |

Yea... those are the two main options. I personally prefer Odyssey over Marathon, but if I found a deal, I wouldn't mind Marathon either. |

15.02.2013 | A flight case would be ideal - that said I used a duffel bag with some towels wrapped around the mixer for padding for a gig and it worked out just fine. Not ideal, but could be helpful if you're waiting on getting the flight case. |
