Entry. These little guys get the job done at a good price !!!
That is a small controller, I like it. If I could with some uplighting, that could control it !
What a awesome guy!!!! he gave me more support in this video then Elation/American DJ ans Chauvet combined!!!!
@TheDJHeir Exactly! DMX cable is for data, and Mic cable is for audio! There is a difference!!!!
This guy kicks ass in explaining! thanks man.
This controller seems very economical. Just a great way to experiment with DMX to see if you like it. I might have to pick up one of these!
Love the presentation its so alive
Hi mike,can'''''''t wait for the contest.
Good Video, Most DJ's don't know how to work DMX.
Very cool, might have to try one of those soon.
I was thinking of getting one thanks for giving me a heads up about it
awesome video and very very awesome personality
Im using this with my ADJ profile pannel. works great
I love up-lighting!!!
love these controllers
The Chauvet Freedom Par Hex 4 is a 6 in 1 light (RGBAW + UV) so the Obey 6 is not the wrong controller. I did get it working once I got the lights set correctly. Regardless using one of the lights as a transmitter and the remote control to control all of the lights is much easier.
Jon Roth Yep, I totally agree!
Hey Danceboy, sorry about that, we thought you were talking about the regular mushroom. and yes the LED is a two channel DMX light so you can't use the OBEY 3 controller on it. you would have to step up to the OBEY 10.
and again sorry about the mix-up.
Rob.
@2932danger88 Dont have the O BEAST yet..but if the OBEY controls 3 DMX channels - find which channels (USUALLY R G B) are used by the O BEAST.
O beast DMX Channels( in 4 channel mode) is maybe R,G,B and strobe.
Not sure but hope it's correct, as I am learning basic DMX functions.
Hey Mike, ive been told that DMX is actually a higher quality cable, being shielded and everything, but you can use XLR on a budget lol i know i do!
-Tek
nice! im gonna have to get that!
Hello Danny, no you can't use the OBEY 3 controller on the six spot..you would need at the least an OBEY 10 to run it.
Thanks,
Rob B2 LIGHTING FX
Could you daisy chain another small light from this one and still power them both off of the OBEY 3?
Hey mike can the obey 3 chase through the colors with a slow fade automatically that i can just leave it.
american dj has a controler that is the exact same and chauvet made a clear one with leds inside
Hey Mike, I love watching your videos..You are a cool guy..I need to know what dmx controller to use for Martin Mania SCX-500s. I have 4 of them.
Thanks Steve
@2932danger88 You simply put one DMX cable to the DMX OUT on the controller, then, plug that in to LIGHT NUMBER ONE, then plug another DMX cable in that light to the DMX OUT and so on.....
Thanks, Mike
hi mike i have a question how to conect mi chauvet legend 3000 with my elation mdx controler , and also the light from my chauvet it comes very cloudy not so bright is that normal on those light o is something also that i need to do to make work ?.
Can this controller control Channels 1,2 and 3 on a 4 channel light? So will it work but the 4th channel just won't respond?
Hi,
There is a difference between dmx and xlr,
Their measured for different voltage rattings, dmx 10v and xlr 2-4v
Howdy Mike
Up to how many LED par cans will this control? And OH - enter me in the contest!
Hey, Mike! Will this work well with a ADJ Dotz t-par system?
its ok thanks for your help i think ill just stick to sound active :)
Hey, what is the name of that light out of the box behind you in the video?????
Hey Mike, I've got a couple dummies at work, can I use the obey 3 to help control them?
Great video, I have the Obey 3 and currently have it plugged into a LED Par can (LED Technologies), I can't seem to get it to work with the controller, you said at the end of the video to turn switches 1 & 11 to the 'On' position, I only have 1-10? If you can help me out would be most grateful. Many thanks!
Do you know if this would work with the LED Quest or the Electro Swarm? I was told that if it had an XLR/DMX IN/OUT slot, I can connect that to a DMX controller such as the Obey 3. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Can this work with the Comscan LED even though it's a 5-channel fixture?
could this be used to control a wireless system (wicicle type)
Hey Jim, no, you need at least the OBEY 10 to run the 8 bar.
Thanks,
Rob,

I have 10 of the old bulb type cans==would they work with they Obey 3 controller

cool light
mike, will this work with the american dj aggressor?
My Last entry for this contest cant wait untill tomorrow when you anounce the winners
Hi,
I'm wondering if u could help me.
I recently bought a swarm 5 FX and Obey 4 controller with a DMX cable. But I thought that once u set the light to d001 on the light that you can start using the RGBW/A manually.
But it doesn't seem to work. It's just a standard DMX cable I have but was told to get an XLR lighting cable instead. I didn't think there was much of a difference.
Is there something I am doing wrong with the set up. I would be very grateful if you could help me with some tips. Thank you , Dave Lawless
@coldandscared NO! That controller will ONLY operate a 3 channel RGB lights
Can you control the VUE 2.1 with this controller?
cool controler
i need help how to conect myy chauvet legend 3000 wit my mdx elation controler.
Would this work on the Chauvet Radius 2.0?
GOOD VIDEO
Can i use this controller on moving heads?
Hi nyone can help me , I'd like to link chauvet obey 3 to Chauvet intimidator scanner, is it possible? and how? Thank You
So easy, even a DJ can use it.....
not to be rude but the mushroom is dmx i own one and it has dipswitches and also has a dmx in and a dmx out.
TH-cam just recommended this video in my notifications, I clicked on it thinking it was a new video and got very confused for a second.
That is really weird!!!!
but can i use this obey 3 and control my mega par profile? or I have to get different controller for mega par profile?
question....can you use a 6 channel light with the obey 3? Or does it need to be a 6 channel controller?
You can only run a 3-channel light with the Obey 3
do u think this is a good dmx cotroller
How do I connect 5 lights to this controller
Does the sound setting on the controller run through a microphone on the controller or the lights themselves?
Lawrence Whetstone through the controller , which allows the lights to all be synced up.
hello mike when is going to be the contest ?
will this work for a LED Shadow Black light? its a 3 channel light.
+Ian Badllo Yes! It should work, since it's 3 channel.
I have an obey 3 too but it doesn't seem to work. I plugged in everything the controller does turn on but it doesn't want to change to the colors I press on controller.
supersmallvamp If you bought the OBEY 3 from us, we'll be happy to help you out!!!!!
So you can only use this controller on 1 single light or several of the exact same type of light? Meaning I cant use it for a laser, fog machine and strobe together?
Only a 3-channel RGB light!
Entry for today
I have the new Chauvet Freedom Par Hex 4 lights and a Chauvet Obey 6 controller. But the most I can get the lights to do with the controller is to fade up or down the 6 colors. All of the other functions of the Obey 6 like fade, chase and such nothing. Why there are no official instructional videos by Chauvet I don't know. Everybody wants to show what they can do without showing how they set the lights. Any suggestions?
BTW: DMX cables vs XLR cables - Yes there really is a difference!
Hi Jon,
The OBEY 10 is a full fledge DMX-512 which is what you really want to use!
Yes, you are right about the cables!
Mike
Jon Roth You are using the WRONG controller!
You either need an OBEY 4 WIFY or the OBEY 10!
And YES, do NOT use an XLR as a DMX cable!
Mike Johnson XLR'S seem to work for a three channel DMX chain - i've never ran into any issues. Am I just a lucky man?
this controller work wiht mega par profile ? I been trying and notting let me know please ...what Controller you recomended for my mega par profile?
+superdjrumbero NO! It will not work because it is only a 3-channel controller...
Enrty for Today!!
How much is the 5 pk?? Do you sell a 10 pk??
ALOHA Mike
Whats the cost?
Mahalo
does the chauvet obey 3 work with the chauvet 4 bar system?
Hi Cedric,
No, it will not work.
Thanks, Mike
ok thanks what does work?
Cedric Hester The "obey 10" will work with the 4 bar perfectly, its twice the price, but had 42 times more channels, Be sure to read the manual though!
Cedric, Mike is wrong I use mine with my 2 four bars, it isn't full function but works perfectly. Unless your 4 bars are over a year old, then they didn't have the 3Ch feature. You just have to set them to set them to 3 Chn, and every one of them is fixture 1. They do the same thing at the same time and works great for simple stuff.
so close mike, only 2 more days!
can it run moving head lights
+Matthew Drage Hi Matthew, No, this is ONLY good for 3 channel lights (RGB). Thanks, Mike 816-224-0044
One more day!
Nower days I mainly find 6 channel lights so can someone send me a link to a 3 Channel light for this controller
Thanks George Eden
Channel I meant but I would not let me type thanks
George Eden
Hi George,
If you have 3-channel lights, just go to my web site www.b2dj.com and, in the search box, just type obey 3
They are $49.99 and sometimes I even have a few open box units for just $29.
Mike
Sorry but I have actually had a rethink i really like the obey 4 how it lets you controll each fixture but I dot know any 4 channel lights? Do you know any as I would much aprieciete a point in the right direction
Regards George Eden
can you control moving heads ?
+Hey Its Jack Yes! You can DEFINITELY control moving heads, either with DMX boards or software.
Mike Johnson Can you with this dmx controller
Hey Its Jack I'm sorry, not with this one! The Obey 3 is for a 3 channel light only, which is mainly uplighting, while moving heads are over 3 channels.
Mike Johnson ok thanks

0k thank you
man im getting one...entry
You said the DMX cable is nothing more than a microphone cable that’s not true the penis is different therefore for long runs you may run into trouble trying to use standard microphone cables. If you are thrown, by the price you can buy bulk DMX cable and put on your own connectors to save a bit.
are you in america
