Does anyone have experience with the Acme DMX Master .. is it worth buying? Or is it a bit rubbish? etc.

Hi Sam,

1st of all, I must reply to your PM! Remind me

2nd This is based around a lighting desk that many companies have bought the design for and then branded it as their own (It's identical to the Chauvet DMX-50) - Of which I highly recommend.

It's a good little desk, with lots of flexibility for a DJ. I don't know about the acme instructions, but the Chauvet ones are excellent, simple and allow you to do powerful things very quickly. If the Acme instructions are a bit sucky, download the DMX-50 PDF ;)

Hi Will,
Just looking at the controller you mentioned.. it looks identical to the master.. do you know if it is? (if so the manual like you said will be v useful)

[DMX Will]

Yes, it's identical as is various other models, have a look at the terralec website, where they sell another un-branded version of it...it might be cheaper for the same thing!

Thanks to the advise of Mr DMX - I too am going to get that one (version of it - the Acme one).

How much have you seen it for?

Cheapest I've found is £109.

104 plus i emailed asking if it came with cabling so i get a free controller to light 3m cable.

this is from http://www.ebdj.co.uk

[djbigdevs]

Great stuff.

Can save myself a fiver & get a free cable! :)

Thanks!

I think it comes with a 1 metre lead as standard

:-) It is free postage too which is a benefit

Looks fab, don't know if it works. Nice.

[Sam]

got a 6 metre one.. anywayyy looks count.. kinda..

[Sam]

I got 1 Pilot 250 today and my god its cool..
I will post a video soon:)

Woo im happy.
It is in very good nick and works perfectly.
The onbly thing i would say is the fan is quite noisy but i am not sure because have not got a clue how it compares with other moving heads.. and also it wont notice with all the music.

let me know if the dmx masters any good, ive seen a stairville branded one on a certain german site and mite buy it instead of the i-lead

[Sam]

ilead and dmx masters are different in the way that the master has sliders.. and in my view sliders is better and ilead is too restricting.
But on whether i think its good or not then yes i do.. there are some restrictions but so far so good.. still learning how to program chases etc though :)

[soundscapes]

cool, found stairville dmx master-1 for £75 !!!!!

[Sam]

nice :)
Go for it i say!
