djmatthill Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi there guys. Iv just got a question about 2 issues Im having with some Martin Ego x4 `s Iv purchased off Ebay. I recently purchased 2 of them last month and they both worked fine , yesterday one of the units refuses to work in stand alone sound to light mode. It works perfectly well in Auto programme and demo mode . but the lights just come on and stay static when in sound 2 light mode. The other light works fine... So my question is :- Does anyone know any known problems with thess fittings and sound 2 light ? Also Iv tried connecting the 2 lights together using a MASTER & SLAVE config. but get nothing from the faulty light. DO MARTIN LIGHTS LIKE EGO`S USE REVERSED DMX POLARITY ??? Im stuck... Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Regarding the polarity question, take a look at the manual. If it says it's pin 3 hot, its standard. Pin 2 hot is reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard CSL Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 sounds like the sound to light mode is not recieving sound so either the microphone is dud or the sensitivity needs increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cowles Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The Ego 04 is DMX rather than Martin Protocol. If it is not working in slave mode I would suggest that the problem is not with the Mic on the PCB, as I think the signal then comes from the Master fixture. I would suggest that your problem may be with the dip switches. check if the fixture works on a DMX controller, and try a number of different addresses so that you can check each of the dip switches.
