    Hi All,

    Before I start I just want to say that I know little or nothing about lighting. I recently bought two second hand martin mini macs. Basically what I want is to use them sound to light which is independantly of each other working fine at the moment,b ut want to use one as a master and one as slave so that they are doing the dame thing. I have followed the manual in trying to do this but to no success. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

    I bought 2 of these recently also, unfortunately only one is working right, 2nd requires a new part (the little LCD display part!!)

    I'll ask how to do the slave/master thingy, it is supposed to be fairly handy

    as a matter of interest how much did ya pay for your 2? do you know anywhere selling parts for them?

    Do you have the two hooked up together via a DMX cable or similar?

    Cheers. If you could it would be great. Think I paid around €250 I think. I had the same problem with one of the LCD's. Got one for €96 from Gareth at:

    Down manual, pg 24. Very easy to do. Cant see why it does not work for you.

    Get proper DMX cables and a termination plug.

    I've tried all that. The problem i'm having is that the manual says
    "verify that Programmed Stand-alone mode
    is disabled, i.e., that Ctr/run is set to OFF.)"

    One of the lights wont give me the "run" option
