Just wondering if anyone can give me an impression of what they're like to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossmck Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've only seen them at trade shows etc - I did look to hire a few in Autumn last year and there was only one in the country at the time - a demo one owned by the manufacturer. Best bet would be contacting your local DTS dealer and asking them, they might be able to bring one to you to try out in your own space ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam L F Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I was working on a stand right next to DTS, and they didn't seem too bad, me being picky probably but I don't like the look of the cases, not sure of any of the photometric data though, but I could just be being bias...

Luke.Harnett Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hello Teddy, I had a couple on demo from DTS/Light factor before christmas on a show. As we was looking to place an order for 8. They are a nice little unit. Reasonably Bright/Good iris control/ Really multipurpose as its a spot ,beam and wash. Bad points... they are really noisy I had a rig of Robe DLX's with all six on the one jack spot would still be louder. The gobo wheel/colour wheel is not great for theatre if you are using them for theatre.( But they are gobos changable). Price wise... very tempting. But I would highly recommend the Robe DLX. For an LED it was kicking more light out than other 1200w Moving heads in the rig. Contact Robe Uk Tel: 01604 741000 to arrange a demo.

Teddy Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Cheers Guys Feeding this back to the others for a Joint Decision, gonna try and get one or two to have a play with and see.Luke, have had a play with a Robe DLX before, really liked it, but I think the versatility of the Jack is more important for us. We don't do theatre stuff, we're mainly live production and corporate so a multipurpose spot beam and wash is an ideal fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
