Electroconcept ClubScan 250 Mk2

I work in a club that has 8 of these machines, namely 4 in February 2010, and four other a year and a half later.
Already, it is clear that it is very reliable.
The bikes run 30 hours per week, and I've never had a major technical problem. Also know that all equipment is serviced every month. The only problems encountered are initiators that drop, as with any device, and HS fan.

The device comes in flycase for the price you wonder how they manage to provide one, strong enough to boot!
The device is quite impressive for a machine MSD, the advantage is that has room inside for maintenance.
The main cover is removed by removing eight screws (do not use force because the thread is limited to the thickness of the plate). As we talk about metal, a slight weakness at the mounting bracket, a little too soft.

Operation level is not bad at all, the big advantages are actually the rotating prism and focus, gobos are not bad, can be others on request, the colors are not bad except for a red totally unusable, and the lack of a congo. The shutter does its job, a tad slow but hey it goes on, the dimmer cut him in a visible beam projection ... Blah blah ...
The brightness is not bad, thanks to a beamwidth low (advantage or disadvantage depending on the use to which it has).
Strong point also, mirror, super fast, precise and fluid movements.

More than fully satisfied with such machinery costs and especially the reliability (in the case of a fixed installation at least. On the mobile I can not give an opinion).

Recement purchased, test quickly.

It replaces my old SCN500 (150w) so nothing to do.

The feature that makes the difference, besides the price is that they come with flycase cable and DMX ...

Indisputable value for money at the price of a top brand in occase I have nine in flycase!

The +
- Motorized focus (useful for club installations or prepare in advance)
- Rotating prism (small effect which is handy for spreading color)
- Flycase DMX cable etc. ...

The -
- A red rose vomiting, casi invisible
- But where is the hook (not same as it enters the flyer up) but I quibble.

In conclusion, a scan between the toy and mastodons discomobile the big scene. Writ advisor lovers wanting good stuff without breaking the bank. For the pro, I think they make a good transition before equipping Claypaky, high end or other similar ... but I doubt that it too supports outputs repeated over the long term.
