    Elite ServoColor 250Published on 05/31/12 at 18:34

    Design / weight / accessibility:

    The lyre is well built internally as externally, access to the interior is easy, two hooks + 6 screws (perdables damage) to dismantle, transport handles do not get to ruin your hands, the head is well balanced and not fall back not heavily when the leaves fall. The display is classic block 7segments 4 + 4 buttons to access the address parameters, internal effects, special functions ...

    Shutter & Dimmer:

    Nice enough to point this machine is that it has a separate shutter and dimmer, the shutter is the first module encountered by the beam, it consists of a simple rectangular blade. You can make nice strobe effects, fast enough, but not a fall down any…

    Design / weight / accessibility:

    The lyre is well built internally as externally, access to the interior is easy, two hooks + 6 screws (perdables damage) to dismantle, transport handles do not get to ruin your hands, the head is well balanced and not fall back not heavily when the leaves fall. The display is classic block 7segments 4 + 4 buttons to access the address parameters, internal effects, special functions ...

    Shutter & Dimmer:

    Nice enough to point this machine is that it has a separate shutter and dimmer, the shutter is the first module encountered by the beam, it consists of a simple rectangular blade. You can make nice strobe effects, fast enough, but not a fall down anyway, pulse effects in both directions, but for my taste a little too slow and random effect, which is sending, with a fairly large number of machinery it must be a terrible effect. The dimmer is located below the wheel effects, is comb is cut in a steel blade profile involute and dimmable from 0 to 100% of the whole channel DMX.

    Colors:

    Here we attack the side that hurts me the most. Although the machine is equipped with a three-color flags, it leaves something to be desired, being too pastel tones for my taste and also unable to make a red (orange was a pretty clear), cyan dichro filters and magenta are not terrible, really tend to magenta pink and cyan to a very light cyan. Yellow is normal. Adding a color wheel could have corrected the problem of red say to me, yes but no! They screwed up a filter so-called red but ... coming out of the orange! -_-It has a deep blue against a bright green, a congo, a CTO and CTB. The CTB is perfect but the CTO too tend towards yellow. The color wheel is driven via gear plastoc making lots of noise when it turns, it's quite audible and may interfere for uses silent. The trichro is very reactive, a good point.

    Effects:

    The lyre has a small effect module, a filter wheel to change the banana and frost filter that does not broadcast the beam enough for my taste, it would have been more candid.

    Beam:

    The Fresnel lens is mounted on two supports sliding on rails 4, all manually operable. The beam at a correct aperture, the frost changes the opening so really visible on projections rather remote. The power is very respectable for the MSD 250N I suspect they send a little more than the MAC 300.

    Movements:

    The movements are quick and fluid, the repositioning is precise, slow movements are quite acceptable, but all engines / belts is a bit noisy which can be annoying.

    Reliability:

    Since the club has about two years, they turned nikel, the only failure to report is that of the thermistor on one of the machines. And god knows they have been hours, swallowing dust ... So a good addition to this unit.

    Basically I'd say it's a good product in terms of beam quality, reliability and power but a little fishing on the colors, although they are acceptable if the color does not look very deep or too saturated .
