Default Re: Elation PowerSpot 700 CMY Review

Well one of the concerns that we had is that we are buying a fixture with no track record. If you buy a Martin, even if you buy the new Mac 700, you know that the company and it's products have a good history. Elation is a relatively new company, and this is one of the first major professional fixtures from them (soon to be joined by the DesignSpot 575). The construction and parts seem solid, but no one knows yet what the service record for these fixtures will be.

I am of the mind that if I take good care of them and don't abuse them while in use they will last. As with any device with so many moving parts eventually something will break down. I believe that my local dealer will be able to handle any work that I can't.

Soup or art?
