Wherever you’re DJing, you want your setup to look professional while keep it safe. Luckily, this is pretty easy. You just need to keep your equipment concealed behind a screen.

The best DJ booth screens double as partitions for a recording studio or podcast studio as well, serving as foldable screens that are large enough to conceal the entire area, while remaining lightweight, easy to assemble and disassemble, and, obviously, attractive. This isn’t a purchase you need to overthink, just so long as it’s convenient and sturdy enough not to collapse when somebody leans on it to make a request, chat, or ask for your Instagram handle.

Things to Consider When Buying a DJ Booth Foldable Screen

Here are a few features we like to see when looking for a DJ facade.

Materials: When it comes to the frame, aluminum is a good choice because it is strong but lightweight enough that it’s easy to carry. Cloth panels are usually some kind of stretchy lycra, which doesn’t rip easily and is translucent enough for uplighting should you so choose.

Convenience: Folding screens should, you know, fold, which makes them portable and easy to store. We like screens with three or four panels that can be added and removed as needed. Set up and break down should be easy, and an included travel bag is a major plus.

Lighting: Some facades come with LED lighting included, and some have multicolor options in case you’re going for a different vibe. When shining through the screen, lighting should be soft and not too bright.

Extras: Not a necessity, but it’s nice to find facades that come in sets, with color options for scrims and lights.

People like this facade and booth set up because it comes with black or white scrim options. The four panels, meantime, mean it is large enough to fit your whole system plus a budd, and the uplighting looks professional behind the screen.

We also like the lightweight aluminum frame and travel bag, which makes the whole thing easy to carry with just one hand.
