Other things to know
🎚️ CDJ-3000s
Only available in a few selected locations and rooms.
Check the equipment list for each room on book.pirate.com.
View the list below for studios with CDJ 3000s:
💿 Vinyl turntables
We don't provide turntables at any location — only CDJ decks. You're welcome to bring your own (DJ rooms only, as our other studios aren't designed for DJ sets). You'll need your own cables to connect to the mixer, plus a table or stand — our CDJs are bolted to the booth, which is fixed to the floor.
🎧 Headphones
Not provided — please bring your own. Our DJMs have both 3.5mm and 1/4" jack inputs, but we recommend bringing an adaptor just in case.
💻 Laptop-to-deck cables
Not provided.
Bring 3 USB A-B cables for Standard rooms, or 4 for Pro rooms, plus a powered USB hub.
To connect to CDJ 2000s, see this guide; for CDJ 3000s, see this guide. We don't supply any extra equipment, including cables.
🎤 Microphones
Not provided. Please bring your own mic and XLR cable.
💾 USB sticks
Please bring your own USB stick. See our formatting guide for how to prepare it correctly.
