A few weeks ago a concert took place at my church. We had our conventional lights above, but wired some 38 pars and coemar moving heads across the stage.
Something very unsual happened when I powered up the entire system. Instantly I noticed signal degradation. When sending out signals, lights sometimes took between 2-9 seconds to power up, and it apperaed completely random which ones would respond first. Our dimmers recieve their power from circuit breakers in the back of the room. I killed several of the dimmers (some powering conventional lights), and instantly the signal was back to its strong self. I tried to remove the signal from going through these "trouble dimmers," but the signal going through them wasn't the issue--the signal only got better after power was completely terminated. Interference? I'm not sure. I eneded up having to kill the breakers for the concert, and then turned them back on when speakers came onto the stage.
Any ideas about what caused the problem?
