I'm not very good at effective searches, but I did look unsuccessfully for a related topic. I was sure this question had to have been discussed in the past. Not finding any, here's my situation.
I am slowly (understatement) bringing our small stage's lighting into the 20th century. I replaced our old 6-ch dimmer packs a few years ago with ETC dimmers, which necessitated a new DMX controller. All the lights were (and still are) "analog" heat engines. I just bought a couple of relatively inexpensive Q70 LED fixtures from Mega Lite to get a better feel for their capabilities. I need to add a splitter because the dimmers are off in one direction, while the lights head off to the stage area left and right.
From what I've read, the D-Split seems well recommended, though some reviews indicate failures within as little as 3 months. The DXH offers a split to 6 channels which would will be useful as the slow conversion process continues through the years. And the Fleenor units have many comments about their reliability and longevity.
Quick price checks: $135 (D-Split), $95 (DXH), and $440 & up (Fleenor). Any recommendations, experience, or perspective among these or others?
