Vintage Lighting Strand Century Micro-Q

[JChenault]

I used one many years ago so this is probably rusty.

It does record presets and you can run cue to cue by moving the horizontal slider back and forth to move from one cue to another.

I seem to remember ( extremely fuzzy here) that when you recorded a cue, you only recorded the changes ( IE a tracking console) - but if you jumped to a cue, you did not get all of the changes, just what was recorded in that specific cue.

Every thing I said in this post is wrong. I was thinking of an earlier board.

No, you had it partly correct. As I recall, there was a memory recording module that did indeed run it's cues by running the handle back and forth. It's not on this model is all.

This is perplexing that micro q does not show up anywhere. The archive http://www.theatrecrafts.com/pages/home/archive/manufacturers/category/?search=4&id=1 does not mention it and this thread is the only hit on Google. Very weird.

It wasn't on the market for very long. Designed (1977?) as an inexpensive alternative to flagship Multi-Q (which itself was quickly superseded by Light Palette), Micro-Q became the Mantrix (1979?) line with the addition of multiplex analog (AMX) protocol.

Only thing I could find out the net. There are some original manuals floating around.
