Kam powerbar

[surround sounds]

I have just brought a brand new Kam powerbar.
I have noticed a few changes from the older type as i have a 2 year old one..

Firstly there is no glass infront of the tri leds,
number 2 . there are rounded edges on the par cans
number 3 - the par cans are thinner
number 4 - the brackets are not as stronge as the old ones
number 5 - the foot controller, the wire coming from the back of the controller as a different connection.
number 6 - inside of the padded case is not as good..

I just hope its as powerful as my old one and its made more cheaply and they DMX Together ok with my old one..

Don't get me started on that one!!! Let's just say that if they don't, I shall not be surprised in the slightest. At a recent NADJ meeting I attended, the chap from Lamba was demoing linkable lasers from KAM. When they failed to link the budget ones with the posh one in (apparently ) the same range, a couple of us had an inkling why. When our suspicions turned out to be correct, it was all we could do not to burst out laughing.

Good luck with the two bars.

Unfortunately the reality is products should be increasing in price--increased costs all round including transport, fuel, electricity, production costs etc.

But the pressure on prices is driving down quality in many electrical products.

I have noticed this in Home electrical products like Security Lights.

I gave up buying in B and Q and went to Wickes who charged more for a similar product---but it works

Possibly you may have to consider paying more and going for better quality.

I assume thats what you tell your clients

Matt do a search on it there's plenty of threads about them and certain other German type imposters!!

I've been using one for 2 years now and love it.

These are the primary par bar system that we recommend as they are such good all rounders. Brightness, colours and spread are all superb and they are legendarily portable!

Any more questions, then please feel free to ask

I've just bought two of the Powerbars in the Gear4djs bank holiday sale. I have to say that overall i'm pretty pleased with them. I'll be using them with an external DMX controller as I don't like most of the internal 'flashy' programs. I much prefer something more reminiscent of incandescent lighting with a subtle fade in and fade out between colour changes.

My only negative observation so far would be that the metal 'U' shaped brackets that hold the can on to the 'Tee' bar are pretty flimsy. I'm seriously considering making some out of a stronger metal and replacing them.

Other than that I would say that they're pretty decent
