General
If you are working with (LED) stage and theatre lighting, a lighting controller that has been specifically designed for that purpose, such as this one, comes in very handy. The Ayra SCENE 48 is a practical DMX lighting controller, developed for conventional halogen and LED lighting. Thanks to the directly accessible chases with adjustable intensity, you're able to regulate your lighting in an efficient way, while a number of practical features, such as two easily patchable auxiliaries, help you with your hazer or your house lights, for instance.
Practical use of the Scene 48 lighting controller
The Scene 48 is mostly used for applications that require a properly lit stage - think of small theatre companies, for instance, or bands that bring their own lighting engineer with them on tour so the lighting can be optimally adjusted to their music. Medium-sized setups are no problem for the 48 channels of the OSO Scene 48. Thanks to the 19-inch rackmounts the controller can be easily mounted in a 19-inch flightcase or rack, and the included USB light gives you a clear overview of the entire console.
Functionality and options
During live performances, the Scene 48 enables you to scroll through four pages, each consisting of 12 channel faders, plus 12 chase faders that can be easily assigned to scenes and chases. Thanks to the quick scrolling functionality, switching between programs is fast and easy. The internal memory of the Scene 48 allows you to store a total number of 48,000 steps, and each chase can consists of up to 1,000 steps. It is possible to use soft patches and to combine faders (to dim groups, for instance), which is ideal if you find yourself working on a location where the lighting is already installed and addressed.
Tips or comments about this product
- Please note: the sound-controlled mode works only via the internal microphone, the sensitivity of which can be adjusted.
- Please note: the lighting controller is suited for simple lighting applications with dimmers. It is not meant to be used with intelligent lighting, such as lasers, LED spots and moving heads.
- Please note: The Ayra OSO Scene 48 can be built into a 19" flight case, but due to its thicker rim, it will always stick out over the rails a bit. It's best to use the Ayra OSO Scene 48 as a standalone unit.
