Device? Flexible, big. Sweetwater? Wonderfully helpful as always. Manual, & programming it? Kick yourself 'til you barf. We bought this so a band member could use a Behringer 1010 footswitch to change scenes while continuing to perform. We'd had an Obey 40; this worked fine. However, it died, losing all programs so we wanted something that could save its memory. You think Obey 40s are hard to program? RUN from this (far less Youtube help also). After reading the manual & hours searching youtube & never being able to make it change scenes from a MIDI input like its little brother did, I called their support. Apparently (though there's no clue ANYWHERE) it can't do this. IF you have a smart dedicated light operator, it will do lots, which is why I didn't give it a 0. But the total ridiculousness of programming it & its manual led to 1.5. We now have an ADJ DMX 192; does far less but much easier to program, and saves them (the next step up ADJ 384 WON'T, go figure).
BTW NONE of these fit in their claimed rack spaces because they're really tabletop units and the plugs stick straight up, a 3 "space" unit requires at least 5 spaces, and the "6" space needs 8.

Sweetwater lighting techs, DJs, and musicians alike have the deepest respect for Chauvet, both on the personal and on the professional side. Many of us first became acquainted with Chauvet before LED technology caught on, and it's been impressive to see their range of fixtures grow. Today, Chauvet offers some of our most popular LED lights, from drop-in PAR replacements and intelligent lighting instruments to exciting effects, foggers, haze machines, and more. We also love their innovation. Chauvet has brought LED technology to classic fixtures like ellipsoidal and Fresnels, while their D-Fi system has made wireless DMX truly accessible. Top it off with powerful hardware controllers, next-gen DMX control software, and much more, and we're happy to recommend the Chauvet gear we not only stock but also use ourselves.
