Bit of a leftfield topic, but anyone have any experience on wireless DMX? Seem to be a few options out there, with this one being made by Chauvet.

Is it any kop? I have a few T bars with lights that would benefit with a bit of wireless shizzle from location to location. I would want to combine with traditional dmx cables too.

IndustryStandard I wouldn’t be in any hurry to use them in an actual club, but at home I’d be all over them.

IndustryStandard

Amps …yeah, just home setup and the occasional party. Did a party the other week in London and took all my lights / DMC cables and ADJ MyDMX Go / Ipad App and in the end I just gave up and stuck them all on sound activated. Was a right mess trying to route all the cabling etc

Amps

IndustryStandard Yeah, I despise DMX, I’m amazed something hasn’t replaced it yet.

IndustryStandard

Amps The ADJ MyDMX Go + an Ipad with the app on it does the job pretty well. Gives you great control and presets .

Its all the cabling and faff thats gets on my nerves. Reckon within the next 3 yrs most new lights will be wireless DMX or some other standard.

I ventured into this world 2 years ago as I was being recommended to DJ weddings / corporate parties in Cyprus. Haven’t pursued it since coming to UK but I do know some of the basics.

I got by with rekordbox RB-DMX1 (meaning I had to DJ from rekordbox in performance mode) and used some T bars from Thomann but I’d like to expand on Lighting for my own events as I’m thinking of restarting them in unique locations.

RB-DMX1 has limits that Wolfmix and MyDMX Go probably don’t have (i think it cannot operate Gobos and Lasers). Lasers aren’t my thing but Gobos can be decent.

I’m also interested in video DJing / VDjing where pictures or videos move in sync with the music and can be triggered from midi controllers. Everyone in Newcastle atm is just doing basic small events in the same venues and I really want to give people an experience on top of good sets.

I fitted a gym (with about 11 DMX lighting systems linked) and it took us weeks to realise the reason it wasn’t working was:

You need a terminator for longer DMX chains which stops an ‘echo’ from fucking with the signal as the cable goes longer and longer.
In the final device, plug in one of these: DMX Terminator (it goes into a device’s Output)

Bedroom DJ and lights? The mind boggles.

NasserAlazzawi

Along_the_Wire To be fair, even if you just get lights set up at home it makes DJing in your own space more enjoyable!

IndustryStandard

I’d always set my lights up at home before any gig when using DMX. It’s a nightmare so you need to program the chanel’s in advance to save yourself even more setup headaches

NasserAlazzawi

IndustryStandard Did you get to the bottom of your problems? It can be fiddly

IndustryStandard

Yeah. I sorted it but its all a ball ache even when you’ve set your scenes up what with the cabling. Hence my questions around wireless DMX. When I have a few spare quid will pull the trigger on some of the Chauvert rechargeable packs of 4.

Looks very similar to the mastersounds range wonder will the sound profile be the same.

Unbroken1

…had a feeling this might happen! UA were always wanting to make these on their own.

Homegrove

How come they’re so cheap? 1356 € for the four channel-version with the efx.

Heno

Homegrove prob cause your buying direct from them, also if they make more means they can make them cheaper. In fairness good price for them no doubt will sound really good.

Possibly because the layout is horrific?

Was @ Mastersounds’ new HQ today and had a bit of a chat with Ryan & George. Focus now on the Turntables and Audio Systems - there were some massive Clarity Audio Units in there, 6 foot stacks you could charm snakes with!

The small one I demo’d a few years ago was proper rude to listen to. Would have been a massive over-spend, didn’t stop me agonising over for months but eventually sense prevailed!

Unbroken1

…UA selling them direct will definitely increase their margins, their own design, everything already R&D’d.

When people are wanting £6K+ for a 20 year-old V6, the prices look f’ing great.

Homegrove

I am not complaining, that’s for sure. ❤️😀

Amps

Nobody remortgaged the house and bought an original New York Urei yet? Im sure the cat would appreciate it.

Unbroken1

Amps …there was a time I would have killed for one, but there are much better options now.

(Design-wise, actually think the horizontal ISO looks much better on the 2-channel than off to the right hand side on the 4-channel)
