    Are you using the ETC Releve Spot? Would you buy it again?

    Great coverage of the Relivé history, which helps me understand why there doesn't seem to be any actual experience with one here. Unfortunately, there's one area where Relivé wins hands down, number of channels. I haven't studied the details, but Lonestar seems to want twice as many channels as...

    All useful comments provided so far, but all based on published data and 3 years old. Does anyone have actual experience with Relivé in a small theater. i.e. 10 - 30 foot throws, especially working in conjunction with original Source Four 120v 575W fixtures?

    What to do with old ETA lighting board

    The ETA 1226 is a 12-channel two-scene preset controller with analog (0 - 10 VDC) output. It uses standard off-the-shelf internal components and thus is easily repairable by someone with electronic repair skills. The most likely failure is in the resistor sliders. Per-channel LEDs at the...
