Godzilla vs King Kong? Forget it! In this video I do a review of both these popular DJ Booths.
I've been using the Pro X for over a year but was looking for something a little lighter and quicker to setup.
I do a full unboxing of the Rockville Rockbooth XL in this review as well.
Please leave your thoughts in the comments on what you think!

UPDATE: I think the Rockbooth is discontinued. I honestly can't find it anywhere as of 3/25/21. All the sites, including Amazon, show it as Out of Stock. I think I bought the last one lol...Let the bidding begin at $1000
UPDATE 2- April 1, 2021: They are back in stock on Rockville's site and $25 cheaper- sitting at $225

I have used my booth (a hand full of times) as an extra podium for the party host for speeches, and Award Ceremonies so that's a plus. Also, I bought my first one (as you mentioned for Small venues with tight spaces , House Parties etc. I also keep the fabric attached at all times (white in front and black on the sides) for lighting up the front.
Very Cool! Thank you for showing us! I agree with the point that it gives others the chance to see what you are doing which will add to their excitement and enjoyable.
Have a 55 inch tv on my pro mesa media-I put monograms on it for weddings-people love it! Awesome video!
Awesome! Thanks 🙏🏼
Congrats on being one of lucky ones to get the Rockbooth XL! They’re completely out of stock, and when I called Rockville, they said they have no plans on manufacturing them anytime soon.
Wow! This happened a few weeks ago too, then they seemed to get a few. So now they’re extinct. Well..let’s get an eBay bidding war going on mine lol!
After agonizing between the Mesa Media and the XL, I've gone for the XL. For the vast majority of my gigs I'm not going to need a display and I really like the size and the fast and simple setup. This is going to really reduce my footprint and I'm really happy for that. I also really like that guest can see the table top a little bit.
After a year having it, I still really dig it. Up in a minute, light and I think it looks great
great review. That Mesa booth looks amazing for the price point.
Thanks! I agree, does a lot for $500
For the Mesa media i load it vertically on my cart/dolly and have no problems making it through doorways even single ones. And i don't take the top shelf with me which may also cut down on the weight of the whole thing.
Hey I have one of the Rockville xL booths and the small pegs in the bag are for the work top so if the floor you set up on is uneven you can level the work top
Oh is that what those little metal things were?
Just got my Rockville XL. I'm happy so far but have yet to use it. Nice comparison as I felt I didn't look at the prox version enough and now feel a Lott better about my choice.
I still love this table. Bag is shit, but I just bought 2 more replacement ones
Yeah, I think the fast table is better for your ceremony rig or non wedding events. I just checked on Amazon and didn’t realize that they were two sizes of the booth that you have
I'm leaning this way as well
I like for the crowd to see me working. Love this video too!
Thanks!
Great gear review video, oh that thing you picked up was a spare rivett. lol.
I prefer the bigger dj booth personally
Thanks! No one has answered that yet lol
I created a sign out of coroplast from Home Depot and put my logo on it. Cut to 8” x 36” covers up the open mesh space.
Thank you for the great review. Are you able to fit your controller inside of the case on the table?
I take my Prime 2 out of the case and put it on the table. It's high enough for me and there's room
You are so funny when you are setting this XL booth.
I bought the Headliner Dj booth. Similar to ADJ in style and price. Once together it’s pretty nice but the fit of everything is pretty sloppy. Doesn’t affect the table much but I had to custom make some connectors for the light bar so it wasn’t loose. The bag is horrible. For smaller gigs I just bought the smaller Rockbooth. I planned on modifying it to three panels but after putting it together I like it as is. It’s slightly smaller in the bag than the headliner but it’s a better bag, more compact in all dimensions, tighter fit, and quite a bit lighter. I’m pretty impressed for the price.
I love how quick it goes up and down and it looks great at any venue
Hello Aaron, for the pro X Mesa media, the scrim you put around it, I don’t see the holes so you can put the Mount thru it and also for the TV. Looks like it doesn’t have any..Which I actually like better since I don’t plan to use a TV. Or are the holes there but I just can’t see it?? if they are there, does it come with a scrim without the holes for the TV mount? Or do we have to buy that separate? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Right- so the scrim I have here is the one without the zippers for the TV. This is sold separately. The table comes with the scrim for the TV
Great video and explanation!
Thanks Karl! I dig your content too bro
@@AaronStrawn Thank you!
Good review. I see you’ve been using the Rockville a lot in recent videos so seems to be going well. The part that was extra is a rivet. It was obviously not used because it still has the center that gets snapped off by the tool. Either they missed a rivet or more likely just accident dropped and extra in.
Thanks! Been using it all season and love it. I sold the other table.
Yeah, I saw in their promo video that you could screw the table down and that’s why I was confused. Table doesn’t need it
@@AaronStrawn I was debating grabbing this and decided instead on the Indio Headliner booth. I like the look and option for lights and tv mount. Seems quite new so hoping quality is good. Now onto lights. Can’t believe a set of these will cost more than my sound rig.
I'm debating on getting the mesa media vs a new headliner indio dj booth ( that's the name) . If anyone has the indio booth let me know how is it
Thank You for telling us how heavy and awkward the proX mesa can be. Other vids kinda gloss over that, if you think real situations like house events w/stairs, small gates or long walk ways 65lbs. at the end of the night when you're tired + TV and all the other gear, ugh! It is Beautiful with black scrim. The Rockville is a great solution but being that "exposed!" My concern is people leaning over with drinks or grabbing the mic I almost want it to be a ft. taller. Great content im a new subscriber keep it up.
For real, I would just stare at it sometimes like, you sob..haha. I’ll tell you, no problems so far with the Rockbooth. I really really love how light it is and up in 30 seconds
@@AaronStrawn and ALSO, if you are handy, you might be able to attach a custom tv mount to it! Issue would be the sturdiness of the booth itself. TVs today are light, but could it hold up once being weighed down with Dj gear and laptop stand w/ laptop? 🤔
Love my Rockville XL
How are you liking the XL? Thought about getting one myself for a few gigs I have. Thoughts? Enough room for laptop stand on the side of controller(Smaller one to mid size) and a wireless receiver on the other side.
Def enough room for those. I still use it every gig and really like it. The metal allows me to snap my Ape Lab sticks on it too.
Thought about this booth. What are you using for a laptop stand? I use my slide shelf, but I’ll need to remove it.
Just a $40 DJ laptop stand. It folds up real nice. I got it on Reverb
For the Rockville… I bought a Headliner Truss… I modified it and it looks awesome
Awesome
Awesome you are appreciated
@Aaron, if I can ask, what is the height from the top of the table to the top of the facade?
For which one?
@@AaronStrawn the Rockbooth XL Thanks much!
That part is a rivet used to probably hold the hinges together on the panels
It's so weird, I checked and nothing seemed missing lol. I've been using it for a year now and it hasn't fallen apart!
@@AaronStrawn how do you like the Rockville XL booth. I just ordered mine that’s to your video
@@tonyvtc3 love it. Take it to every gig.
Thanks for this.
Still use and love this table!
The Rockville table is the same as the Ceaders Link "Beast 7" table. I love it and use it all the time. Those lil thumb screws r for the feet so you can raise it and level it.
They must be extras, cause there were already screws in the feet. I was so confused haha
@@AaronStrawn LOL. You got the hook up with the extras then. An added lil bonus.
This is NOT like the Cedarslink Beast 7. This Rockville XL is bigger with the table measuring 24” x 47”. I also wish Rockville would have this in stock because the smaller version doesnt work for me
@@djmenaceonline the xl is just a little bigger. Put them side by side and u can’t tell the difference. Both are great and I have them both. I’m happy with them.
@@michaelhamilton4711 yeah good to know. It may not seem much but the extra 7 inches width and extra 4 inches depth makes a big difference for me since I plan to use it with my controller inside the case that measures 39.5 × 22.5 inches
so wait every time you set up and break down you have to put on and take off the scrims?
Nope. They can stay on. In fact, I haven’t taken them off since I made this video
Can you store the Rockville back in the case with the skrims attached?
Yep, I’ve had my black scrims on ever since I made this video
What is the bag quality like, the ADJ Event Table bag is junk! I use a few Jr. clamps to hold the Pro-X TV mount with a 55"tv to the Event Table.
My ProX bag is falling apart. A zipper broke off, it's starting to frey too and this is only after 1 season with it. I think another problem is that it exactly fits the table. Hardly any wiggle room. I haven't found anywhere to get a replacement bag either.
@@AaronStrawn I bought a giant zipper and basically rebuilt the whole bag.
@@djgenew Great idea!
I have the RockVille… it’s RULES! Simple, Clean… 👍🏼👍🏼
Is the shelf of the Mesa Media is optional or is it necessary to hold the scrim stretched?
It’s optional. The scrim will stay on without it. Scrim has ties on it as well
I never use the top shelf. It works great without it.
Would this hold the weight of a turntable setup?
Can't say with all confidence. I don't know what that total weight would be, might want to check with them
First of all, I want to say thank you for using a proper mic to do this video. For some reason, a lot of these UA-cam guys never use a microphone and audio is always echoey and annoying!
Second, great video! And do you know the height, width and length of both of those DJ booths?
Third, it would’ve been nice to have actually seen a DJ controller set up on the DJ booths to get some sort of idea of the size and space that’s available for DJ equipment . Also, can you set up two turntables and a mixer on either of these booths??
Thanks, I'm with you. Just as annoyed at bad audio in a video.
Ok- so a quick look at the rockville site would give you all those numbers you need to see if your gear will fit. If you watch my gig logs, you get to see what I have on the table and get an idea if it will fit what you need. Hope this helps!
Lol thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I have the pro x mesa. with the tv mount I wouldn't part with it
what kind of mic do you have for the video
I'm using a Smart Mic to make this video: amzn.to/3jYzWry
@@AaronStrawn thanks
Can it be raised to 3ft?
Not sure what you’re asking
Do you think this booth can handle turntables?
The ProX should, not sure about the XL. They have the table dimensions on the sales site.
Go Spotify! Play. Stop. I’m learning the pause button. 😎
How sturdy are these? If you scratch and etc. That’s one thing I dislike about my table. :/
They’re both pretty sturdy. I would say the Rockbooth is not as sturdy as the ProX for sure.
The pro x scratches like crazy so I use a cloth for the Rockbooth when I put the table on it when it goes back into the bag. It’s ok that the ProX gets dinged cause the fabric covers the whole thing
Rockville takes longer
With the scrim
@@five18audio for sure if you’re doing it at the gig
Any chance you want to sell the ProX XF-Mesa?
Already sold it!
@@AaronStrawn hey thanks for the reply. Seems they are $550+ now...ill keep looking for a deal. Enjoying the channel.
First, you didn't mention how long it took you to setup the Pro X Mesa, 2nd you cheated by attaching the scrims to the Rockville first then resetting the time. I myself own both of them and I love the easy and convenience of setting it up quickly depending on the size of my event. With scrims preattached on Rockville it is only about up to 1 minute extra time to setup the ProX Mesa. Both are sturdy, great quality and very professional. Yes one is pricy than the other but bottom line it's based on your business needs. Overall great video!
Mesa took around 3-5 min to set up. I've never taken the scrims off since I made this video lol
Hey can you out them side by side. I do have the Mesa Media one.
What do you mean?
@@AaronStrawn sorry spell check. Can you put them side by side? Would like to see size difference
@@ojloera3306 Gotcha. The mesa media is def bigger and heavier. The table is 58" wide and the Rocbooths table is 47". Rockbooth is also not as wide. I think the big advantage with the Rockbooth is the weight. It's almost 20 pounds lighter. BUT..I think they might be discontinued. Can't find any for sale right now.
@@AaronStrawn ok. Will go ahead and by the 65” TY for the front of the Media Mesa. I have 2 50”TV’s on the GloTotems
Guess this will complete the look
@@AaronStrawn they are still selling the Rockbooth XL and they are around 239
I'm the 100th like! Do I get a prize? How about a booth?
Well Rockbooth?? Hook my boy up!
I'M LIKE SUPER LATE ON THIS REVIEW BUT CAN YOU POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO SEE THIS TABLE IN ACTION WITH ONE OF YOUR SET UPS AT A GIG? POINT ME TO A GIG LOG!!!
Pretty much all my gig logs from 2021 I'm rocking that booth!
This Rockville XL is more like the ProX XF-VISTA plus the Vista has ann extra shelf for your laptop or mic or both. It's $349. More even comparison than these two.
Vista looks almost identical to the XL. I like the shelf feature, plus they offer an all white one
Why do you need so many booths and tables?
I sold the Pro X table so I "only" have 2 lol
@@AaronStrawn what do you think of the new 2.0 Ape Labs?
@@paulparrinello2526 I’m pretty pumped about them. Cream color casing, almost 20 new colors, and supposed to be 2x brighter
@@AaronStrawn I’m ordering mine but nobody has them
@@paulparrinello2526 so hard to get anything. I heard they should be available in about 3 weeks from my guy. I linked it in the newest gig log
That's a pop rivet.
Yeah, extra feet. I was confused cause I’m the promo video they show the guy screwing the table down. Haven’t needed to ever do that
...as for the copyrighted music...it's an 8 second rule. Lol.
I think it's 6 now!
