New to your channel. I use to run a small lighting and sound production company in AZ. I find that all the Chauvet Pro equipment is very nice. I've rented some of their equipment. I purchased a bunch of the MARQ REZO tubes some years ago.
Great video Joe. I have the freedom sticks. I guess they need to be configured roughly the same. You are so informative but can I ask next gear vid could you do a little with the lights dimmed so we can see them better. With the white background it was for me just a little hard to really see them. But again superb video.
Need a review that demos the performance for pixel mapping and staying in sync. Astera are the gold standard over things like the Pavo tubes because they can maintain a high frame rate and stay in sync. Also battery life? Color rendering quality? Sound reactive modes built in? A lot of unknowns with these Chauvet STXs.
Would you buy these over the astera’s if they released the same time? I’m in the market now and trying to decide between these the astera and the nanlite.
The chauvet well stx is a nice light. However in Canada they are $8500 before tax which comes out to $9100 I’m not going to invest that much into 4 lights
Really like the idea of these a lot. But at this price point I can’t understand why you still would need a $470 external unit to do legit DMX. $3500 and I’m limited to their cheap remote for use is pretty lame by Chauvet. Someone feel free to correct me if I’m misreading but the manual calls for the W-DMX TRX unit for DMX control.
The reason they have these units is to provide a low latency radio signal for the DMX to respond quickly and keep all the tubes in sync. Gets important when doing pixel mapping at the VJ level. If you’re a DJ I guess you don’t really care as much about the professional grade visuals and just want something simple to use.
@@mylesdb I may be misunderstanding your reply but it looks like you can do no DMX control without the external unit. I’m curious how big a market there is for DJs to drop $3500+ on this and not DMX it.
@@michaelemrick Agree with you about that. I could imagine the idea is to keep overall cost down. If you are already using their universe of products you would have that transmitter for uplights etc. That would allow a single transmitter to work for all.
@@dcentertainmentpa I appreciate the reply. This would be more valid if Chauvet wasn’t changing the wireless technology for every new product. BT Air, FlareCon, D-Fi. If you have any of those you still can’t connect them to these.
Love my AX1’s and will keep buying them!!

Debating if to get the Well 180’s or 360 🤔

Right on, I agree with that.
Hi m8! Very good review of yours ! Those things are so needed they are amazing

Out of my wheelhouse. I'm sure other videos will pop up.
Thanks for the shoutout Joe! - Brent
I see you using the ev-50/30m speakers. Can you give us a review on them please
love the video. saw Ben's first video on these, and you put it in great perspective'
I appreciate that!
Thanks Joe totally enjoyed the review and honesty. The STX look promising
You bet. They are nice.
I'm about to invest in a set of 8 Astera Titan
Hey Joe, when do you anticipate the 2nd Gen Asteria sticks will be released, and what’s the best way to get notified?
Let me do some asking
I’m sold and will have them before the summer ends. Thanks Joe, this was a huge help!
Probably a nice pick up.
Oh jesus they're $4,000
I ain't quite there yet, Joe lol
Not cheap!
Amazing video!! Answered the question I didn't know I had!! Are the Astera tubes 360 or are they both 180?
Both 180, but I think Chauvet makes a 360
Can you map these things to work with Resolume
That question is way above my pay grade
Would you buy these over the astera’s if they released the same time? I’m in the market now and trying to decide between these the astera and the nanlite.
no
Maybe if you still have them you can try them out at your next event and do a gig log with them in action?
They're gone!
What's you opinion on Jmaz? They have the galaxy tubes. I just don't have the money to go with these or the astera
Galaxy Tubes are an eye if beauty too but do not compare to control and brightness of the AX1 or Chauvet STX imo
Never used or seen them in person.
The chauvet well stx is a nice light. However in Canada they are $8500 before tax which comes out to $9100 I’m not going to invest that much into 4 lights
They are high dollar. Astera even higher.

@@michaelemrick very true. 😞.
Don't they have similar thing like Astera? The Well Com
I like my asteras more . Wayyy More versatile
❤️
“Paid Promotion”?
Def. not. They're sitting back at NLFX as we speak.
Exactly
