Help configuring a Behringer LC2412, PLEASE!
I searched the board and I couldn't find specifically what I was looking for. I have close to ZERO lighting experience but I'm the only one that apparently has the necessary tech savvy to help out my church with this. They had some lights that they bought (chauvet) and it came with a little tiny 3 switch mixer with one channel. That was easy to set up since it was basically plug-and-play. But now they purchased MORE lights (Chauvet slimpar 64) and they purchased a behringer LC2412. So I read the manual which isn't very lucid at all. It's quite confusing actually. But anyway, I connected ONE of the slimpars to the back of the mixer directly. (I had to use a 3-pin to 5-pin connector because the mixer uses a 5-pin DMX out). So I connected it directly and I set the slimpar to channel one, and I followed what the mixer manual said to do which is select utility 2, then press soft a, select the channel directly on the mixer, and press soft b and then exit using the quit button. All that SEEMS to go smoothly according to the manual's instructions. However, after doing all that, putting up the mains, raising the channel lever, etc, NOTHING happens on the light. I thought maybe it was a cable problem so I switched cables. Then I thought it was a light problem, so I switched to another slimpar. NOTHING solves the problem.
Can someone PLEASE help me set this unit up? With clear instructions? I would really appreciate it. And I'll pass down the favor in this forum somehow. (Audio mixing is my forte).
P.s. I looked up a bunch of youtube videos on how to set up with this unit, but unfortunately I do not speak German.
