dont buy Velleman :) mmm was a kind of a gift... may be i should be more careful 'bout my friends ;) but, back on the serious side : is there any answer from someone at avo ? i'm quite sure it is possible to patch the console code for this as it does not break the DMX spec... i am afraid not, we as...

well. in price they are quite comparable: Avo Azure vs Grandma Micro Avo pearl vs Grandma ultralight Avo Sapphire/Pearl expert vs Grandma light Avo D4 vs Grandma They are just different beasts, both with their pros and cons. but if you want faders you need the grand MA all others are good enough fo...

had the same problems with a client last year..... dont buy Velleman

i want to thank the Avolites team for a great time at PLASA this year, it was my first time i attended and i'm sure its not gonna be the last time. Ben, wish you all the best were you go now and hope one day to see you again. Ed, you really helped me out a few times when i had personality problems a...

This is very true, however anyone who can use a Hog, can really use an MA. And theres lots of Hog operators, although AVO seem to be more popular, howver these days most people seem to be able to use MAs as well as AVO desks. Howver I am sure you get some Hog only people turn up at your venue? try ...

Great!!!! Finally, a "powerfull" desk with faders... Only few questions: -Why Only two encoders wheels? :cry: -A Preset fader can be a memory? -Can we have more DMX universe output via Ethernet? - Is Pearl Expert RDM ready? Here my suggestions on New Pearl Expert: - Tactile Touch screen -...

Has anyone else noticed (unless I've missed it) that the key switch is missing in the pictures. Wonder how you switch between modes now? it might be a softbutton switch :D altough the keyswitch was something very usefull on the older pearls i dont think we need a fysical switch on the Expert. its k...
