Wireless DMX
« on: August 27, 2023, 01:34:30 PM »

Does anyone have good experiences with any of the wireless systems?. I bought the Donner but I'm already down to one receiver still working. Has anyone used the ETC? Blizzard? ADJ Wirefly? Looking for a dependable solution.

RC4 Wireless offers a very complete catalog of solutions when wireless DMX is mandatory.  I still continue to only consider wireless DMX out of necessity and not out of convenience, but RC4 is who I look to when reliability matters.  Hope this helps!

I've had good luck with the Donners for several years now.

I dont know what I'm doing wrong, the receivers keep dying. Maybe I got a bad batch..

I too have some Donner wireless and several other brands here that all combined have been solid for years, though I do have a couple power supplies that don't seem to work anymore.

I bought some Donner's at my last church and the antennae broke off all the receivers. It's a very flimsy design even if you try to take care of them.

I have a bit of experience with the Chauvet system that look like USB keys. They work well but the range is limited since they are small and can only live behind the light. Transmitter seems like a good piece of kit.

I also have some Show Baby's from City Theatrical. They are pretty bomb proof.

I believe City Theatrical OEM's ETC's wireless DMX products. There is at least some compatibility between the Show Baby and ETC's offerings.

If you're into DIY, you may consider this option.. I've had 100% success with the wireless DMX pcb kits from Ebay.
I've built many, some integrated into controllers (as transmitters) or in various fixtures, and some just in small project boxes.
I also built some for a few colleagues and all are very happy with them. I've been using these for almost 10 years now without any problems.

This is one of my designs:

Very cool concept.  Adding a powercon OUTPUT as well would make it even easier to add into the lighting chain.

I know I can't build that. I'd buy a transmitter and receiver if you have them for sale.
