U LT TA .. As a working DJ, I know that presentation is key. It’s not just about playing the right music; it’s about how we present ourselves and our entire setup to clients and their guests. The visual element of a performance is often just as important as the audio, and it’s what sets a professional apart from an amateur.
Over the years, I've used plenty of booths from different brands, but I’ve always been a fan of the Ultimax DJ Pro Booth for its clean lines and robust build. 84 So, when I heard an RGB LED Starcloth was being made specifically for it, I was over the moon! I recently had the chance to have a play with the starcloth at a gig, and I’m genuinely impressed with the performance and the build quality. When I first unboxed the starcloth, I was greeted with a heavy-duty carry bag, which is always handy for transport.
The first challenge was attaching the velcro to the booth itself. It was a bit of a pain initially, but, once I got the hang of it, the process became absolutely fine. The best part is that the velcro can now stay on the booth at all times, making future setups incredibly fast and easy. It’s a simple detail, but a major time-saver.
The cloth itself feels incredibly durable and is of great quality. It’s made from a thick, fire-retardant molton fabric, which gives me real confidence in its longevity. Inside the cloth, the LEDs are encased in small, protective boxes. This is a brilliant bit of engineering, as it protects against the kind of knocks and bumps that are inevitable when you’re a mobile DJ.
The thickness of the fabric also made installation on to the booth an absolute breeze, as it held its shape and didn’t sag. The controller box was easy to use and a simple, solid metal build. Setting it up was straightforward; you just plug in the supplied True1 Power cable, which is a great touch for safety and reliability, along with the included 4-pin link cable to connect to the starcloth. The build quality of the controller gives me peace of mind; it feels like it can handle the rigours of the road without any issues.
The real test, though, was how it looked in action at a live event. Once the lights were dimmed and guests arrived, I could see that the booth was completely transformed. Normally, I would just run a white lycra scrim with a batten light behind it to uplight the booth. With the starcloth, however, I had a sparkling, elegant booth that matched the wedding décor perfectly.
It’s a huge step up from a basic uplighting setup, offering both ambiance and a magical atmosphere. The bright, vivid colours were absolutely stunning and provided a perfect backdrop to the room. For the first dance and when the party kicked off, I switched on the controller box’s sound-active mode, and the lights started to twinkle and flash in time with the music. With the bride and groom at the centre, the booth looked really awesome.

The ability to switch between simple presets and full DMX control is a major advantage.
Another main plus point for the Ultimax DJ Starcloth is that I personally put flight cases and bags inside of the DJ Booth, and sometimes I find the lycra scrim so thin that it pushes out, which is really noticeable to a customer. With the starcloth being made from thicker material, there was no pushing out, and it fitted snugly to the booth, creating a clean, professional look. This attention to detail is what sets this product apart.
