Great, sounds like I'm on the right track, I've been playing with Luminair and it looks ok. Just don't want to miss a good app... sometimes there's a more obscure app (think Mixing Station or Show Cue Systems) that the industry knows but Google might not pick up.I've got a cheap artnet to dmx...

Looking for recommendations for an iPad app / DMX interface (wired DMX, would prefer wireless connection to iPad) combo that doesn't cost a ton (low use) but still functional? Any good / bad experiences?

Just to close this one out, we went with a couple Sonifex DHY-04 hybrids, they are not the cheapest but work really well. I trialled a JK Audio hybrid, but that thing produced a hell of a hum into my system, it sounded like an air compressor running... Not a ground loop, it sounded like...

I've got somebody recommending a system using a series of DAS Audio Artec series speakers (6" woofer, 1" compression driver in a horn). Not sure where the crossover point is, but sounds quite typical.The room is used 80% for speech, conferences and meetings, but then also some light musical...

Thanks all for the good input. I'm in contact with bsw now and I think I'm all set! The digital hybrid is going to work great.

Yes, I've been wondering the same... The suggested devices will dot he trick (if they work in the UK!), so thanks @FMEng for that, but I would love to go digital somehow.... Of course, the other parties would need to support that. Bit this is a really good start!

We have the set-up right on our desk, sending a mix-minus back to the phone, but what I'm looking for is the actual device, the actual phone, that can connect to the phone line and has inputs and outputs for me to connect the feed to and from the desk... seems simple but so far I'm unable to...

How do you connect a phone line to your house PA system (using an aux send as the input, and running the output through your mix desk to the mains)?I have a situation where I need to run an interactive teleconference from a large room (up to 500 people). We have an ingenious but aging...

We've got a small show this pm using a few older Qwash 560z fixtures running off a zero88 Jester..One of the fixtures always turns off the LEDs when it moves, then they come on again when it is still. Is that a setting? What's going on here?I've tried resetting the fixtures, rebuilding...

Morning... Trying to get hold of a new fan for one of my Chauvet 419z fixtures. Delivery to the UK from the US is £40 so that makes me wonder if anyone does spares over here? I tried to contact Protech but they are not responding to phone calls or emails... Any advise?Cheers Klaas

Maybe I heard this in relation to using regular XLR 3-pin mic cables instead of propper DMX cables... What's the problem there?

Hi DMX sages! I'm working on a new DMX installation (moving over from Analogue). I have an 80m cable run to make from my desk location to the dimmer packs, and I've heard that it might be best to use unsheilded cable for longer dmx runs... Is that the case? It seems that most cables, even when...

Yes, I would rather have gone with something more "professional" but the LED bulbs (all 80 of them) were installed a few years back, and they were switched at the door. Now we are adding dimming from the desk, so we have to work with what we have. I'd be super interested if you could point me...

Hey, just thought I'd circle back on this and post my solution... We just tested running the LEDs off our already installed Betapack 3's, and at first the LEDs just flickered horribly. Then we added a power resistor across the output (essentially simulates adding a 120w incandecent bulb to the...

As this is just for controlling the house lights, I'm not too concerned about smooth dimming at the bottom end. But I am looking at a good 520 watts of load so maybe this won't be an issue. Any reccomendations on a dimmer for this? I'm doing a retrofit from a normal switched control to a DMX...
