JVC QL5
Submitted on August 13th, 2009 by wasTRSMUSICpre89I use to sell JVC tables for new BAR DJ applications. I drilled a 5" hole in the DJ table (not the turntable) and then in the floor or floors (if wood) until I got to concrete; mounted a fm threaded 4" pipe flange into the concrete, (some times in a basement floor) then a 4" pipe from there to the bottom up to a marble table (with fm threaded 4" pipe flange attached it ) just above DJ’s table top; just larger than the turntable(or tables). Nothing touched this stand or the pipe from the base concrete to the turntable but the DJ's hands. The DJ's loved it; drunk slams into his booth; no problem, folded W 18" sub woofers on the stage; no problem, DJ wants to dance on his table; no problem.
