A powerful system that allows you to play disc jockey at your own party
A key ingredient of a rocking party is great music, and if you add a dash of flashing lights and some pumped up bass, you can have your friends dancing away; but where do you get the perfect mix from? Yes, one can always call over a DJ to spin those tracks, but it compromises the privacy of the gathering, and reminds one of a Bollywood style wedding. Want to do it yourself? The LG X-Boom CM 9940 is a great friend to have.
The speakers come in four parts to be stacked two each, with a sub-woofer for both the left and right channels. Built-in LED flashing lights let you synchronise them with the music and add that touch of bling to the party. Turn up the volume and you can shake the earth or bring the house down with its pure 3,200 RMS Watts of music. The 2.2 Sound set- up allows you to experience bass like you have never done before.
The central DJ console has multiple slots that allow you to plug in a microphone, a CD player in case you still use CDs, and pen drives. There is an option to play FM radio tracks. The microphone can be used to box beat if you like, make an announcement or open up the house to a karaoke session. Your friends can even connect their smartphones over Bluetooth and stream music directly to the console for you to mix. And to ease the connection, there is NFC onboard offering tap-and-connect simplicity.
Being a DJ involves more than just mixing music, and the X-Boom with its various modes can make you look like a pro. From ‘Auto DJ’, ‘DJ Pro’, ‘DJ Effects’ to a ‘Jukebox’ mode with various equaliser settings, you can select what it takes to push out the right sound with the right music and keep the party going. There are even scratch pads to help you navigate those tracks on a pen drive and help you mix and work out the right beat.
Though not meant to be a portable system, LG has designed the X-Boom set-up in a way that you can knock it down completely and carry it to a farm house or the rooftop for a great party. Setting up the system is easy and you don’t really need a pro to rig it up. The X-Boom is a sure bet for a great dance party.
