I'm looking for something like the ADJ Mega par Profile system,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX7iUqSxoUY

Except with a foot controller an easy to use DMX controller that will allow me to do things like:
Fade it down or make it bright
Sound activated & also be able to dim it way down (for slow dances)
Make it all bright at one color (white?) for things like the bouquet & garter toss, etc.

Suggestions?

Try the Chauvet 4 Bar (It has a Foot Control)if you want everything on one Tripod. http://www.chauvetlighting.com/4-bar.html


If you want two Bright Panels that can be used in sync with a hand held (Sold separately) instead of a foot controller, the ADJ Profile Panel RGB may work. It it like a wash when placed in static mode. http://www.americandj.com/ProductDetails.aspx?Category=&ItemNumber=1931

That Chauvet 4 bar looks damn near the same as the ADJ version.

I really like that Profile panel light. Thanks for the tip.
Can this be connected to a 2 space rack mountable DMX controller? (suggestions?)

This light would be cool if you can also dim it way down for slow dances. I have seen DJs use the same bright crazy sound activated lights for both fast & slow dancing.

To me, it makes sense to dim them down.

You can set it to light by sections or the full face or half face, it also has a lot of cool effects and patterns built in or DMX Controlled.

For slow songs that is when it is good to have slow moving Moving Heads, Starballs, Mirror Balls or even the Profile Panel in slow fades.

Yeah, I have a Starball2 that is nice during slow dances (mirrorball effect)
Question: Will the UC3 controller allow you to do all of that stated above, or would it be better to have a DMX controller? If so, what controller would work? (looking at a 2 space)
 
DMX Controller

The UC3 Controller will work but since it is a manual push button with a long cord a DMX plus Wireless will be much better. I would much prefer to use DMX Software vs DMX Hardware Controller
 
If I went with a 2 space controller, would the Chauvet Obey 10 work with the ADJ Profile Panel RGB?
How many cords would need to be run to the fixture (if both are on a T) from the controller?

Thanks!
 
Yes .. In 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 channel modes .. not easily in 24 and 27 modes. 1 cable from the controller to 1st fixture and a short cable from that to the next. Add a terminator on the last one.

Excuse my ignorance...
What is a terminator & what is it used for?

Another question: What's the difference (besides price) of the ADJ Profile Panel vs. the ADJ Mega Panel LED lights?
Click to expand...
The Mega Panel is better used as a large Wall Wash or for stages plus it is much brighter than the Profile Panel. If you do smaller events too they were plenty bright. The Profile Panel can also be used as a Wall Wash Uplight. Hope this helps.

Because DMX is a digital signal, the terminator helps keep signals hitting the end from bouncing back .. potentially causing issues. Don't absolutely need one but at $5 or so it's good insurance. Just search for DMX terminator.
