Impractical, beautiful & possibly worth it - Hoerboard Stereo T - Unboxing, walk-thru, review

Музыка

Join me as I review and unbox the piece of DJ furniture that quite possibly started the wedding DJ obsession with DJ furniture, the Hoerboard Stereo T.
In 2024, there's so many more portable options that are designed more around the workflow of mobile DJs. But I'm fascinated by this booth's popularity!
In this video I'll unbox the unit, explain some of the severe limitations with this booth, how I overcome some of those, how I transport this to my gigs, and ultimately why I chose this booth even though it's not the most practical option.

    Definitely my favorite looking booth. Practicality is the main reason I can't get it. I just pulled the trigger on the new Danny Max Console S, it has a similar aesthetic, but much more mobile flexibility.

    Like I said before. I both love this booth and hate it. It looks so good and have gotten quite a few bookings thanks to it. But it's so unwieldy to transport and handle that I now only offer it at a premium so that I can bring an assistent to help carry it.

    I really like this booth, and i really want to invest in one. I think i really need something that i can rack my mics since i would use this for my sweet 16 and weddings or corporate events. I have a chrysler Pacifica, so i really better get the height to fit before investment. I will be at the DJ expo this year, so i hope to really compare my options. Also, the turntable setup looks fantastic but i opt for the rane 4 nowadays (old age), lol Thanks, Daryl, for sharing this video

    I feel like your average mobile DJ should be able to get by with just an SUV. Having a fully loaded DJ booth ready to roll in and out like that is always going to be limited the few people who can afford to have a tall van or pull a trailer, God knows it's awkward enough and impractical to get around in urban environments with those.

  • @DJDarylBennett

    A trailer just doesn't work most of the time in Urban areas, so a tall van is required. I've seen some rent u-haul vans, but I'd rather just use the SUV I already have 🤷

    Looks great! I still prefer the humpter since I can do turntables or controllers without needing separate tops. The downside to that is that you can’t prewire or transport with the gear in. Great review, I appreciate you reviewing this piece of kit and posting your thoughts on it

    I love this booth and have been trying to decide what style of booth to have with my Rane setup. The only thing that I don't love about yours is how the actual rane setup isn't centered due to the control one. I love that it is integrated into your booth but the turntables and mixer off to one side would drive me crazy.

  • @DJDarylBennett

    Yeah that was the compromise, have the control one outta the booth with a ton of cables connecting it the inside, or this off center look. Personally, I'm happy with the way it turned out

    I definitely think this is the best looking furniture booth out there but how hard it is to transport also with how you can’t put much other basic gear in it (mixers and mic receiver) just makes it a deal breaker for me. It’s definitely the best looking though! Nice review!

    I've never owned one, but I've seen it, and it's definitely decent! It actually is too small for a rane 12/72 combo, but would work for smaller gear, like the Rane One. I have the Humpter Booth, and will be releasing a comparison soon

    On the topic of that clear computer stand, for someone like me who has bad eye-sight it looks like it's too far away. I feel like i would be squinting at the screen all the time just to read artist and song names. And i would have to reach across the entire table and have to arch my back every-time i need to type of something. I think other booths with a mobile arm accessories permit a more functional placement and adjustment on the fly i you need it.

    That is true. I think this is the best looking computer stand, but not the most ergonomical. I wish the Denon 6000m had the style of the Rane 12, then I wouldn't even need a laptop lol

All the reasons you mentioned do hold true. I leave mine assembled and I did have a custom road case built. I have seen many DJs though just do a dolly and moving blankets like you did.
