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.

…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!

…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)

Know it’s old tech’ now, but still happy with this recent purchase.

Along_the_Wire

ScottBailey What is it?

ScottBailey

Along_the_Wire portable recorder. Was originally using a Behringer UCA222 into my laptop to record in Audacity, but this bit of kit is much less faff!

Homegrove

Union Audio now added Master Sounds’ valve in their shop, with 1K € shaved off the price. I really should start saving for this, it’s pretty much ideal for me. I would just have to buy a separate audio interface for Traktor.

It was never 3.5 k HG!

Though there are some massive chancers trying to sell for sky high prices since they stopped selling - there’s a Radius2 for 3k on eBay 😂

Homegrove

Mad_Cyril it WAS over 3k in Euros.

Mad_Cyril …the rotary market always been like that to be fair, people trying to flog those (Soundcraft) Urei 1620LE’s for £2.5/3K just because they had knobs and the Urei badge on them… remember when HTFR couldn’t shift stock and listed the last batch for £350.

I suspect a lot of Mastersounds owners thought they could cash-in on a discontinued mixer only for UA to reissue what is effectively the exact same product weeks later.

That 4-valve UA is decent value considering you are looking at £8k+ for an A&H V6 these days.

Of course! Forgot about that 🤦‍♂️
