Looking for options for a truss style DJ table.thinking something like 15"x30"x8' PRT with wheels and a piece of wood on top.The perfect height is around 34-36" off the floor. Something that is sturdy.. could maybe be stood on.. perhaps attach stuff to would always be nice.I know some...

The second twisted pair does absolutely nothing for data transmission. If the standard is okay to use 5 wire dual twisted pair and omit a pair.. that is the same as using 3 wire cable with a twisted pair of the same spec wire. Or at least that is my believe from the several talks about ETC's...

Very familiar with them.. I think you are right that they may be a bit pricey. The reality is that all the low level stuff you buy these days has 3 pin. So there is a need to have good / cheap 3 pin. After I started buying audio cable from audiopile I have been so happy with the price and...

Back on topic. I will throw in my .02 from a nightclub I visited today. 1 Year old Chauvet Qspot 260's look to be in fairly good working order. Typical club that doesn't clean their stuff. 10 of them - next to another 2 dozen mirrored fixtures they may have been Scan LED 300's. Some of the...

I can't say about this particular fixture or brand. But I can tell you that I have seen first hand that what I said previous is correct. It is common practice for say.. a 1500 watt strobe to be made at one place - or city - because they have several dies and pre-fab products ready to go. I have...

Wow. Way to get off OP topic :) Anyways since I posted this I have picked up some prototype fixtures from a US company that is bringing in a product like this. It is interesting how the process works.. because basically companies like chauvet, elation, adj, and others buy a pre made product...

So I really don't care about the opinions here.. 4 pair twisted vs 2 pair pairs twisted... all i'm really looking for is good quality inexpensive 3 pin dmx cable. back to topic - does anyone have any leads?

But it is a 2 pair twist correct? In 5 Pin DMX is the Common paired with something else or is it a shield? Wouldn't the appropriate Belden twist cable for the +/- using EIA-485 standard be a "correct" non standard way of using the bastardized 3 pin configuration? In both audio and DMX the...

Sorry I should have specified 3 pin - I know thats not "pro" But comparing it to real world pro DMX - well it should be cheaper shouldn't it? Is there an ansi standard for 3 conductor dmx or does it only exist for 5 pin?

$33 for a 25' DMX cable with gold cable / neutrik ends compared to EWI's audio cable which is 30ft for $21.45 (they dont make a 25') The audio cable is more expensive to make.. so the prices are not very good for that link.. any other shops that may have better pricing on similar quality...

I buy my audio cable all the time from audiopile - and have been very very happy with their products. Is there a lighting vendor comparable to them for dmx cable?

I don't consider $3000+ entry level sorry.

VERY interested in that fixture..

With a street price of 4x higher than the other fixtures I wouldn't really consider the 350 a contender yet. Granted this was the first spot LED I saw - and it was a brilliant fixture for its time.. I just think the LED engine cost was too much for this early developer.

Its funny to me that Chauvet and ADJ have beat most of the world to using LED spots.. and I get that they did so because they are not perfect for most of us yet. However they do exist. And the Q spot and Q beam particularly interest me. Coming from big production (outdoor festivals) and very...
