Cicero Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Whats the most popular and reliable wireless DMX solution? Especially for tours etc. Looking at W-DMX, and Lumen...which seem to be very similar. Had some strange things happen with the ShowBabys, although cheap. Interested in your opinions.

IRW Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 What strange things have you had happen with Showbabies? We've got a set of 5 in work, and they're rock solid when they're all in the right modes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've just had some equipment go a bit wonky with them, and I stumbled on this also threw up some red flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We use RC4 - been reliable, and the ability to use the tiny DMX2DIM dimmer as a wireless DMX link is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABlackmore Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm rather fond of Lumen stuff myself, rock solid even in very congested environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maeterlinck Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 All suggested types so far are good and reliable. A lot will depend on the set up and application.When you say tours do you mean theatre, concert, circus etc? Scale?Lumen and wDMX perform well out of the box, and the back end RF is very widely used in industry.City is also good and and tuneable without additional hardware. The showbaby is limited for this.RC4 is also good out of the box. Best option will depend on your set up and desired use. Just like picking a light or cable, they're not all equal even if they do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
