James Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 But building your own equipment is not the cheapest option have a look at this. http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/product.asp...uct%5Fid=272238 They have a 4 channel Dimming pack for £80. Paul http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc_images/cpc2004/size3/DP27503-01.jpg Has anyone had any experiance with this pack? It looks like it would slide on a T bar easy enough but has anyone had any success with a fixed bar or truss? James
Wilf dLampy Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Yes we have a couple of them, and the switch version as well. There is an M10 hole in the top (not visible on the picture) which allows easy connection of a standard g-clamp, or half scaff clamp (or indeed anything else you can put an M10 bolt in ) They're exceedingly useful and we haven't had any problems. Be aware the XLR connectors (on ours at least) are 3-pin, so you will need some standard adapters to connect into a standard 5-pin XLR circuit.
johnb Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 On the basis of cheaper small dimmers, has anyone any experience of the following: http://cpc.farnell.com/productimages/cpc/standard/8803215.jpgDimmer Rack from CPC At £55 (ex VAT) it is the cheapest dimmers I have seen, and with both DMX and analogue control almost seems too good to be true, hence looking to see if anyone has tried them.

As in has anyone had any luck with bodging a mount or hanging a c clamp off it anywhere. James
Andrew C Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Two hook clamps in the round holes? (That's one each for the pedants! )
Tom Baldwin Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Two hook clamps in the round holes? (That's one each for the pedants! )Why do pedants need hook clamps?
Brian Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Two hook clamps in the round holes? (That's one each for the pedants! )Why do pedants need hook clamps? because the safest place to keep a pedant is out of the way. :(
