    New to your channel. I use to run a small lighting and sound production company in AZ. I find that all the Chauvet Pro equipment is very nice. I've rented some of their equipment. I purchased a bunch of the MARQ REZO tubes some years ago.

    Great video Joe. I have the freedom sticks. I guess they need to be configured roughly the same. You are so informative but can I ask next gear vid could you do a little with the lights dimmed so we can see them better. With the white background it was for me just a little hard to really see them. But again superb video.

    Need a review that demos the performance for pixel mapping and staying in sync. Astera are the gold standard over things like the Pavo tubes because they can maintain a high frame rate and stay in sync.
    Also battery life?
    Color rendering quality?
    Sound reactive modes built in?
    A lot of unknowns with these Chauvet STXs.

      Galaxy Tubes are an eye if beauty too but do not compare to control and brightness of the AX1 or Chauvet STX imo

    The chauvet well stx is a nice light. However in Canada they are $8500 before tax which comes out to $9100 I’m not going to invest that much into 4 lights

    • @DJJoeBunn

      They are high dollar. Astera even higher.

  • @michaelemrick
    @michaelemrick Pƙed 2 lety +1

    Really like the idea of these a lot. But at this price point I can’t understand why you still would need a $470 external unit to do legit DMX. $3500 and I’m limited to their cheap remote for use is pretty lame by Chauvet.
    Someone feel free to correct me if I’m misreading but the manual calls for the W-DMX TRX unit for DMX control.

    • @mylesdb
      @mylesdb Pƙed 2 lety

      The reason they have these units is to provide a low latency radio signal for the DMX to respond quickly and keep all the tubes in sync. Gets important when doing pixel mapping at the VJ level. If you’re a DJ I guess you don’t really care as much about the professional grade visuals and just want something simple to use.

    • @michaelemrick
      @michaelemrick Pƙed 2 lety

      @@mylesdb I may be misunderstanding your reply but it looks like you can do no DMX control without the external unit. I’m curious how big a market there is for DJs to drop $3500+ on this and not DMX it.

    • @dcentertainmentpa
      @dcentertainmentpa Pƙed 2 lety

      @@michaelemrick Agree with you about that. I could imagine the idea is to keep overall cost down. If you are already using their universe of products you would have that transmitter for uplights etc. That would allow a single transmitter to work for all.

    • @michaelemrick
      @michaelemrick Pƙed 2 lety

      @@dcentertainmentpa I appreciate the reply. This would be more valid if Chauvet wasn’t changing the wireless technology for every new product. BT Air, FlareCon, D-Fi. If you have any of those you still can’t connect them to these.
