Total newbie here, and I'm in the process of getting a small system for my band. Looking at 8 Irradiant LED PAR56 cans, stands, etc. but am having trouble figuring out what the best board would be to run this. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money here...

Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
-Roger

Roger Welcome to the forums. I would suggest for someone starting out a DMX operator 192. Or even a magic 260 or My DMX From American DJ. Take a look around the elation website and the ADJ website and see what is in your price range.
Sincerely,

Or wait a month or two if you can and look at the Elation TRIO 1248 or TRIO 2496. They look to be good boards, I've been watching for them ever since I saw them pictured on the back of a mag 2 months before they were supposed to be mentioned.

Yes those controllers look very cool. I'm hoping to get my hands on one when they come out.
Sincerely,

heh, grab an extra and send it my way, would you? Noone would notice.

I'm waiting for them to get the manuals online so I can check them out better.

I'm not gonna buy two of them. haha

Sincerely,

Hi Guys

I'm new today to these forums & wondered too about Elation light controllers....Has there been anything good or bad said about the Elation Operator Pro Lighting Controller as i would like to buy one of these, apparently it is a two in one board with dimming capabilities as well....any feedback would be greatly appreciated...Also, i live in Australia, can you let me know if you know about this controller what power supply i would need to find here in Australia as we have 240volts power supply.

Kind Regards

Mike

Mike welcome to the forums. That controller is actually distributed and supported by American DJ. might wanna hop on over to the ADJ forums. here is a link.

Hey Guys,anyone have any New Info on the Trio Consoles?. Are the Manuals available yet? Thanks
Happy Holidays ! Gfuller

nothing yet, but very soon.

If I don't have movers in the rig, then I use a SceneSetter24.

I use a combo of LED's, Movers and Par Cans ,so I look forward to the Trio...It also looks like it has a DMX "In", so I hope to tie in my SD2 ?.....Thanks,GF
