    I bought this to replace a Mini-192 that made my lights flicker (Elation 6+ ParS's). This one works great.

    I use this in my band it has a setting so it will run its self Chauvet make a good solid product. It depends on the lights you get so there maybe a learning curve.

    How many different kind of fixtures can I connect to this controller and manage at the same time?
    Asked by: Joseph
    The CHAUVET DJ Obey 40 DMX Controller has controls for up to 12 intelligent lights with up to 16 channels each. If you need to control the lights all separately, no more than about 12 will work. But it depends on how many channels each light uses. If the lights can be set the same, you can daisy chain no more than about 32 lights.
