CHAUVET DJ Obey 70 Universal DMX-512 Controller

Does what it advertises but arrived in a box that was way to big for it !

Great product and excellent customer service. This company took the time to send me a missing knob from this desk within a day of my email regarding the issue, and their customer service was outstanding. The mixer does the job well and has stood up to repeated use in a club environment. Recommended.

The perfect light controller for me. Good quality, good value and efficient service. Thanks

Bought this to sequence lights to midi for live performance. No pevious experince in DMX i found it easy to use and setting up lights then adding extra lights to a scene or editing the scene is fine. MIDI control is a bit dissapointing though. If you change scenes via the unit they switch seemlessly and lights remain on. Sequenced via midi all ligths drop out every note off command. I found you have to hold notes down while altering scenes until you want to re-trigger a scene when all lights go out for a brief moment. This unit would be brilliant if the lights just stayed on till the next note/scene was played (like they do if you press the scene select button). Spoke to Chauvet who asked me what sequencers/keyboards I was using, then never replied. This also means at the end of a song the stage goes dark. The other dissapointment is you can access all scenes via MIDI so you are limited there too. (88 notes/scenes including 6 chases). The unit can store many more than this.I like the unit but it could have been better. If you don't want 'auto' lights and you use a computer on stage, a software/hardware option would be better...

Very good dmx controller. Loads of options and great for controlling moving heads (adj inno beam led). Would reccomend

Simple to use and works great

I bought this to use with LED Colour Changers and dimmer controlled PAR lights. It is intended as a quick and easy controller for lights used for band concerts (I have a more sophisticated controller for theatre work). For those of you who dont use DMX much this is a controller that can control up to 12 'banks' of lights - I say banks as each bank can coltrol 32 channels of DMX, so you could control 32 dimmer channels on one bank if you wanted to. Indeed, I tend to put 8 - 12 PAR cans on a single bank and control them this way. One thing to know from the outset, you dont get independent control of each channel - let me explain. If you have 3 colour changers on bank 1, 2 and 3 and each uses 6 channels then fade 1 will control channel 1 of all three lanps if all three lamps are activated. You can work around this by starting each lamp off 6 channels apart. Not difficult to do, but worth noting. That said chases and scenes are so easy to record you really can get a gig up and running in minutes. I really like it! COuld I do a theatre production with this desk - yes, at a push, but for a music gig its really really good!
