I'd be willing to bet the problem is the connection where the mic cable attaches to the male connector, and not the male connector itself. This is the area most susceptible to fail if it is not cared for properly. Here is a good thread that may offer some help...

This should help you out. It doesn't really matter which line in the Mic cable you solder to, as long as it's the same on both ends. Just remember midi usually doesn't do well with long runs, so you definitely want to use high quality mic cable. Even then you may still run into some trouble...

Have you tried putting R02 in the spot? I've done it before but it was a spot with a conventional lamp. Since the color temperature of an HMI is so much higher, maybe try an R03 or even R04 with more saturation. R33 or R35 would give you the same effect but with more pink. It's up to you and...

Probably because it fits better in a road case. Just my opinion.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

This is true, and I don't think any of us were condoning the practice but saying that we've FOUND it before. At a dinner theatre I work at there is cable strung all over the place because they don't want to pay for the labor hours to have everything struck and rehung between shows (everything...

Indeed they will. Strangely I'VE never seen it happen with a source 4.Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Lamp on macro would be: [channel].20 (which is the reset channel) @ 99 Wait 3 seconds, [channel].20 @ 00Lamp off is the same, but replace the @99 with @66.I usually do this with a total of 4 macro ("p"-keys) because I haven't found a way to put a "wait" in the macro. So I press...

I saw your post over in the new members board and after reading this post, I have to say that I think you are going to be disappointed. I think your motivation and commitment to create a 'new' style of lighting similar to the one in the video is going to prove to be very valuable, but with...

I agree. If you want a console designed for such things you'll want to look at brands such as Avolites. I find them pretty dreadful for traditional theatre stack usage, but I can easily see how they'd work well for a 'rock and roll' type setting.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I was just using an Avolites Azure Shadow this past week which had a "learn tempo" function for chases. I didn't find it very useful, but using that term may be of more assistance in finding an answer. I am not aware of a way to to that with an ion.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I should point out that you do probably need to be in the spotlight workspace to accomplish turning off position summary.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

It sounds like the catwalk has been converted to a hanging position (as it should be) and position summary or something like that (I'm not at my computer right now) is turned on. Click the position and in the properties for the position uncheck position summary. Then insert your own text which...

If the money aspect isn't an issue, maybe MagicQ would be the correct approach. Let us know how you like it if you do decide to invest the time and money.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I just found it awkward and cumbersome. But if you feel like you can become familiar with it it may be the right solution for you.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Have you ever tried MagicQ? I have and I found it to be unusable. The problem you are having with your board is almost certainly solvable. The problems you are having are NOT just with submasters, correct? If it was, that would lead me to believe the submasters are in the wrong mode...
