  1. Just a thought, if you were using the CH38 kit for larger shows, you would have the licence for the whole year or 2 no? Would it then just be worth running all 38 kit, then if you need to expand at late notice you always have licenced channels to cover it? as @sleah said, I would feel more comfortable having more channels than required, just to ease the possibility of mixed mics.
  2. I have had the same experience with some of the Sennheiser Freeport mics and the iPad rest on the Allen & Heath QU desks. A bit of IPA and it removes the sticky 'soft touch' layer and takes it back to the base plastic. This was a while ago now and I have seen no degradation to the plastic.
  3. Yes I realised that apologies. If someone wants to take the lot I certainly will! 🙂
  4. Hi All, I have some kit for sale that has been hanging around on some shelves. Crown XLS 602 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185391243681 Audiohead AH1800 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185391243770 AMX Netlinx NI-3100 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185391243515 AMX NXT-CV10 Touch Screen - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185391243592 Citronic CX34 crossover 3 band stereo - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185391244511 Open to any offers on items. I can also post most of them, although the amps may be a bit heavy. PM for details, thanks!
  5. Isopropanol Alcohol can remove the layer on the outside, but will take it back to shiny plastic. Had to do the same with some car interior parts that had gone sticky.
  6. It's not got a DMX polarity switch has it? The wireless adapters may be clever enough to flip it at the other end. Although reading through the rest of the trouble shooting it sounds like this may not be the cause. Could it be these cans are a bit finicky about line termination and the wireless drivers are terminating sufficiently? Although I may have completely the wrong end of the stick
  7. I had a similar issue selecting an adaptor for truss, I eventually settled on two of these My link in conjunction with my pair of Doughty wind up stands. I liked the look of these over the Doughty adapters as the centre of mass was kept over the top of the stand rather than off to one side, albeit by 100mm or so. The Doughty stuff is built very well, and as Sleah says, if it wasn't safe they wouldn't sell it!
  8. I placed an order Friday morning, as soon as I placed it I went to check on my orders as the site seemed a little slow processing the order. The webpage then went to the 'we have a problem' page and said it was down for maintenance. Seems like it is back to normal now, but CPC and Farnell seem to have always had issues with their web hosting.

    LED Footlights

    I am looking to do something similar at a small theatre that is having their equipment upgraded. As it is all volunteer run, I was hoping to keep a more user replaceable lamp in the footlights. Mikelectricstuff sells a trailing edge dimmer suitable for LED lamps on his White Wing Logic website that can be used to dim 8 or 16 channels of mains LED lamps. Might be another possible solution to your problem? My link They only do a max of 115W of LED per channel but for my purposes 1 channel would cover all of them! I was thinking of ELV as well but finding an off the shelf solution seems to be more difficult. Interested to see your ideas!
  10. PCBShopper may be a good website to look at. Compares most of the inexpensive PCB suppliers. My link Other than that, I mainly use JLC for very small batches of PCBs. They usually come out cheapest, but I haven't ordered any for a little while.
  11. Although maybe not the best thing for the job, I have used the 4 colour starquad cable before. The smaller 4.8mm size stuff may be ok for your needs. I used it with DT109s and one of the inserts just about fit the cable in the headset connector.
  12. Just to resurrect this thread as it helped me out! I had a similar problem with the Showtec Jewel series desks. The files that can be downloaded from strand can be used on this desk, but the folder structure needs to be changed so the showtec recognises it. For the Showtec Jewel 512 1248 folder structure is: \STEX1248\DMXBASE\ etc. For the Showtec Jewel 512 2496 folder structure is: \STEX2496\DMXBASE\ etc. Just in case anyone else runs into this problem, thought I'd document it.
  13. Just got a reply back from the UK sales people at Highlite. Basically said the only info we have available is on the website, which is nothing really! Mine didn't come with a VGA card but I asked, and they don't have any. Probably won't need it but I'll keep an eye out for one as it may come in useful.
  14. Hi Ian, Thanks for the information. Downloaded a copy of the Strand 200 Plus manual and yes, a lot of those buttons and programming methods look very familiar! It has much better documentation than the showtec so I am hoping I can just use that manual instead I used the contact form on their website so not sure who it goes to, but never got a reply! Looks like I have what I need for the moment though, cheers!
  15. Hi Folks, I was recently given a Showtec Jewel 512-2496 lighting desk. I have had a look online and found a manual for the smaller variant, the 512-1248, but I have not been able to find any info on the larger one. I am assuming most of the stuff in the manual will be identical but does anyone have any documentation or firmware files they can share? It seems Highlite have no info on it, apart from that it is discontinued! I have sent them an email but not heard back from them yet. Thanks!
