Hello, I am currently halfway through upgrading my venue's lighting stock which consisted of strand 2k alto fresnels/profiles and 24 1k pars. Our strand 530i has been replaced with a grandma2 ultra light with additional touchscreen and fader wing. FOH: 6 b-eye k10s, 8 robe dl4s. On stage: 12 studio cob led pars and 5 Chauvet rogue r2 spots. We will take delivery of 18 Mac quantum washes in October, 6 will replace the b-eyes FOH. 6 lx1, 6 lx2 with the b-eyes moving to the very upstage lx3.
I was going to purchase around 8 more robe dl4s for the sake of continuity, but in reality I don't need the framing shutters here like I did FOH. Which would leave the DL4X spot (slightly cheaper) or the Mac quantum wash. However, the new Maverick line from Chauvet looks interesting, particularly the hybrid fixture. Given that these fixtures will mostly be used for gobos etc I like the idea of having the beam function of the hybrid Chauvet - 2 lights for the price of one..... Or I could add something like the Chauvet r1/r2 beam purely for this effect.... A demo I will arrange. Also adding 2-3 robe dl7s profiles per side for the 'slips' (between 22-26m from front of stage)
Should also add that these fixtures will be to cover all genres, rock n roll, ballet, conference etc. Looking for reliability, brightness and low noise.
If anyone has any first hand experience of these fixtures or other recommendations I'd greatly appreciate your input.
Cheers!
