Stairville IP Bar IR Remote

I bought this to use with the CLB4 bar system. It does not work well. First dimming: I expected that the dimming function would work with any program or preset. It doesn't. When you press dimming you get a full brightness white light and then you can need to select either R,G or B to dim that element. When you select another function or program it goes back to full brightness on all elements. You can select a solid colour from a program but you can't go back to the programs. The system appears to latch into some modes that you can't get out of with the remote. You have to connect the footswitch and use both! Not a good system. Disappointing.

For basic wireless control this is great
I've used this with my Stairville 240/8 led bar at small gigs and for basic operation its pretty great.
Things to be aware of:
- its infrared, so requires line of sight. If a band member or instrument is in the way you will lose control
- doesn't work with the older model of 240/8 led bar (the old and new have different print on the side of the unit, so if you're not sure compare your unit with the pictures on the website. If you have one master and one or more slave units then only the master has to be the newer type.

I no longer had the footswitch for my Stairville Stage Tri-LED bundle complete & had planned on buying a replacement footswitch. On checking on the Thomann site, I saw that the IP bar IR remote was cited as working with my lighting bundle. I went ahead & bought it, only to find that NOTHING worked & there was no user guide anywhere to help. And of course I cannot get in touch with the service section by phone until too late for yet another gig with no lighting control. I am expecting to pay postage to return as well as paying postage again when I buy the footswitch. I just hope THAT works. Thomann have always been so helpful in the past, so I dont know what has changed.
