Hi there, I have been researching outdoor rental LED panels and, for now, have narrowed it down to Gloshine and Unilumin. I am interested to hear of anyone's experience of using LED panels from these manufacturers to assist with my buying decision. A bit more info; Unilumin I am considering the Utile III03 P3.9 IP65 rated 500x1000 mm cabinets 3840 Hz frequency 4500 cd/sqm brightness 14 bit grey scale Gloshine Legend series P3.9 IP65 rates 500x1000 mm cabinets 3840 Hz frequency 4500-5000 cd/sqm brightness 14-16 bit grey scale On paper they are both very similar. I am told that Unilumin is a "Tier 1" brand v's Gloshine's Tier 2 and their prices reflect this. Does the price also reflect the build quality and longevity of the product? Unilumin have been more professional so far. They even have an office in London providing UK support and maintenance that Gloshine doesn't offer. So, is Unilumin worth the price premium? Would be great to hear from anyone with experience of these products. Thank you.

Hi there, I am novice in this area, learning quick, and need guidance as I am getting mixed messages when visiting AV shops. I want to purchase speakers for outdoor use (think back garden, pub beer garden, hotel) and want something that is compact but going to offer sufficient output for anything from say 12 up to 150 people. Two main environments to work in. 1. Quiet setting whilst watching a movie, 2. Loud setting i.e. a party, whilst playing music. I have been drawn to the RCF JMIX 8, about £875, and would use two of these. One shop said that will do the job, another says I'll need bigger than this and need to spend £4k, and another advised £9k on an array system! Ideally, I want the speaker to be IP rated and weatherproof but have quickly realised this adds a lot of cost. I was thinking of making my own rainproof covers to use on active speakers. I would be really grateful for some practical advice based on your experience please. Thank you.
