Hi,
Please don't even mention Robe.
I put 24 250 spots in a club here and they were terrible. We lost our ass on that deal and ruined a long standing relationship with a big client. Technically they were Coemars but Coemar had robe oem them. Nothing but constant problems.
One night with the club at max capacity, paul okenfold headlining, one of those damn things decided to unbolt itself, separated the yoke from the base. It fell 30 feet onto the only 2 square feet that was open and smashed itself.
Day one: Out of the 24 we had 5 that were stil births and another 10 that had some error or another. If I were smart I should have boxed them all up and demanded the client pay the extra 10 grand and get mac 250's. We went through 36 lights in 6 months.
Sorry that name drags up bad memories.
As for consoles we had a hog 500 and a hog 1000 and also a couple of light jockeys. I was the hog guy. I hated the light jockeys. I am very much a 'on the fly' guy and need buttons and faders. I spent a couple of months with a grand ma, really started liking that board. The Martin Maxxyz Is supposed to be pretty hot stuff. I have a ld friend in Vegas who swears by it.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
