What Comes With The Equinox GigaBar MK2?
As described above, the Gigbar is an all-in-one package, which means you get eveything you need to setup right out of the box. You'll get the following peices:
- Gigabar Lighting Bar with 4 x Par Cans attached
- Tripod Lighting Stand (1340mm to 2100mm)
- Wired Foot Controller
- Carry Case
Operating Modes
There's a pletora of operating modes, including static colour options, auto run show modes, sound-to-light mode and DMX controlled modes. You can connect other lighting systems/ fixtures to the Equinox Gigabar via DMX cable and link up multiplevsystems to acheieve a simple syncronised lighting system. Alternatively, you can connect a DMX lighting controller to manipulate the parameteres of the bar.
The auto programmes are located under 'Show', and there are 8 programmes to choose from. If you prefer a static colour, there is also 7 colours to choose from includin: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and white. There's also an 8th selcetion you make, which will change the colours, with the sped of the colour change dictated by via the sound to light function.
Speaking of sound to light, this can be toggled on and off. When toggled on, the lighting bar will alter it's speed depending on the music in the environment. This is great if you want you lighting bar to move to the rhythm of your music.
You can control the operating modes using the included footswitch. On the footswitch there''s three pedals:
- Blackout - Turns the par cans on and off
- Mode - Cycles through the different operating modes
- Enter - Cycles through the options within each mode
Par Cans
The bar itself has 4 x 30 watt par cans attached, which provide ample light for small to medium sized areas. They implement COB technolgy, which stands for Chip-On-Board. COB LEDS par cans are generally more vibrant than standard LEDS.
Each par can has a removable lens. The lens will tighten the beam, whislt removing the lens will widen the beam. A good technique is to have two par cans with the lens removed, and two with the lens on. That way, youget the best of both worlds, the par cans with the lens on can be used to focus on specific areas, whilst the other two par cans can be used to light up a larger area.
