THE BAG I ALWAYS WANTED AT EVERY GIG.
The story behind Auxinn — and why the kit looks the way it does.
Hi, I'm Wallis — AKA Table Manners.
I've been DJing for 23 years and working as a professional AV engineer and custom system designer for 22 of them. Clubs, festivals, weddings, hotels, boats, beachside booths in the Maldives, basement parties in west London — if it has speakers and a power outlet, I've probably plugged something into it.
Somewhere along the way, I lost count of how many times I'd shown up to a gig and ended up in a panic ten minutes before doors, asking the in-house sound engineer if he had a 6.35 mono to female RCA. Or a Cat6. Or a stereo splitter. Or a male-to-male coupler. Or — worst of all — borrowing one from another DJ and then forgetting to give it back.
So I built a kit for myself. A grab-and-go bag with every adapter, splitter, and connector I'd ever needed at a venue. It started as a temporary fix and became the get-out-of-jail kit I never travelled without.
Then friends started borrowing it. Then friends started asking where they could buy one. I told them they couldn't — it didn't exist commercially. And then I said the thing I always say when something doesn't exist commercially: I'll design my own.
Sixteen prototype iterations later — tested in the UK, Ibiza, and the Maldives, on real gigs in real venues — Auxinn became a thing you could actually buy.
It was never meant to be commercial. But the demand was incredible. So here we are.
Every item in the bag is in there because I've needed it. The semi-rigid woven-nylon shell exists because that's what works on the back seat, in the back of a cab, on the booth, on a boat. The custom-woven AUXINN patches exist because once I knew this was a product, I wanted it to look like a product. The orange exists because life is too short for another black bag.
If you're a working DJ and you've ever been in a panic ten minutes before doors, this kit is for you. If you run a venue and you're sick of visiting artists not being able to plug in, this kit is for your booth.
Either way — welcome.
Getting you connected, keeping you creative.

prototype iterations road-tested
Road-tested in three time zones.
Every prototype was built, broken, rebuilt, and broken again — on actual gigs. UK clubs and festivals. Ibiza bookings. Maldives residencies and beach-side install jobs. The version you can buy today is the version that survived.
This is just the start.
Performer Edition and Headliner Edition launch the line. Standalone accessories — including the pocket-sized carry case that's currently Headliner-exclusive — will follow.
Beyond that: there are a few more "things that should exist commercially but don't" that I've been quietly building in the workshop. Sign up below and you'll be the first to hear when they're ready.
