MK2 Spots

DL4S

Hello! In the end we ended up buying the Chauvet MK2 spots. Brilliant fixtures for the money, we were going to buy the Martin quantum profiles to match the quantum washes but for the price difference the Chauvets made more sense. The only downside to them is the fan noise, our robe/Martin...

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...

Our 5 R2s make enough noise so I can imagine how loud 16 can get! And with no fan control option on them we've got to think twice for certain events. Our B-eyes have left me most disappointed though, even in 'silent' mode the fans kick out a notable hum. I was tempted by the Robe 1000s as I...

We've decided to go ahead with the quantum washes, they really impressed. I've not seen the Chauvet washes in the flesh but have heard that they are brighter than the auras. We're very happy with our R2 spots, especially at the price point however we do find them to be quite noisy. We will be...

I'd be interested to know how well it's received after the install. Hope the install goes well, cheers.

Interesting, I presume the orchestras are finding they have enough light to read music etc. What height from the stage are the auras rigged?cheers

Thanks for the info, we had a look at the xb's alongside the quantum washes, maybe we should have viewed them on their own as we were obviously drawn to the quantums. The arua xb was almost completely silent. I just wasn't convinced the output would be enough to give an open white wash that...

My venue (2200 seat concert hall) will be purchasing 18 moving head LED wash lights to replace our 2kw strand alto fresnels. We've demo'd a selection of fixtures recently and have narrowed it down to either the mac quantum wash or the Robe 1000 ledbeam.Both fixtures impressed although they...

the Martin rep has come and gone. Had a look at the quantum wash and profile, aura xb and rush zoom par. If we hadn't already bought some b-eyes k10 the aura would have done a similar job although I prefer the b eyes.....The quantum profile was very impressive, super bright, CMY colour...

Thanks for your reply! We already have 8 of the new Robe DL4S fixtures hanging from our FOH truss. Your correct, they are absolutely fantastic fixtures and we are very happy with them. Very quiet also. Our GrandMa2 ultralight with extra touchscreen and fader wing should be arriving before the...

prolights studiocob is a good unit http://www.ac-et.com/lighting/products/prolights/led/par_68/prolights-12x10w-rgbw--fc-cob-cree-projector-hd-dimming.aspWe paid around £250 each, can buy additional lenses for various applications and barn doors if desired. Or pay a little more and go for the...

Do you find these fixtures bright enough? I'm needing it to replace 2kw strand fresnels. The strands give out around 410 lumens at 9 meters. I think it might have to be the quantum wash for us. Are the aura's quiet? Whatever we buy must be quiet enough to light an orchestra.I have my...
