Stairville LED Power & DMX Bar

I bought 2 of these a while back and never got around to using them. The other night I had a wedding to do and I said why not, I'll use them.Mounted 2 small moving heads on one of them (1 each side) and put a lazer on the top in the middle. After the gig, when taking down I noticed the bracket connecting the bar to my pole was distorted. Upon further examination, it is completely mangled because the bolt is welded to a very thin piece of metal. Should be at least 5mm thick steel for this kind of thing, but it's wafer thin. Going to contact thomann and send pics and hopefully they can replace the brackets without me having to send everything back.

Nothing is perfect, but I like this one.

It is true there are some drawbacks, like the Powercons and XLR on the sides but it is useful if you place several bars in a row.
Then you can easily daisy-chain the bars with very short cables, so I think you should not use them as side bars because you want the cables in the center then.

Also it is right that the 35mm adapter is not roadie-proof ;) But hey, that is easy to fix.
The fifth connection is great to add some special FX or whatever.
Powercons are not Neutrik but feels good enough.
The general finish is fine but the total length of the bar is a little on the short side with 120cm.

So, for this money, and you have a good purpose for it I think they're great.

Bought two of these, because the premise sounds great - any speaker stand becomes a lighting stand, with integrated power and DMX signal connectors which saves time and cables. You could also possibly leave the lights attatched and connectedd so it's really easy to put the lighting together when doing similar gigs in a row. Unfortunately, the design is not thought out and the quality seems poor.
First, the bolts to attatch lights are too long, unnecessary screwing wastes time. Second, there are five power and DMX sockets, but there are only four bolts for lighting included. Third, the DMX and Powercon inputs are at the and of the bar. It would make a lot more sense to put them at the center. Fourth, the Powercon cable included is ridiculously short. Fifth, the speaker pole adapter is too wobbly. It could have used a big washer or larger contact surface, or maybe two bolts. And finally, after about 6-7 uses, the adapter attaching bolt just broke off. Will not bother with the warranty, I'll have a more suitable replacement part made. All in all, a lot of the problems described you can fix, but you shouldn't have to. They do have their uses, but I don't think I'd buy these again.

good quality T bar, nice fittings easy to install and use. bonus that it uses the powercon range of connectors, would perhaps be nice if Thomann did a UK version of this to save using adaptors but this is fine if you already have LED PARs from Thomann that already come with Schuko plugs. this bar does not have a amplified DMX splitter, it is just literally a split passively, so may be a problem if there was a faulty fixture on this bar otherwise fine as I use with a DMX booster. would recommend this product to those who use LED PARs a lot and want to make the cabling a lot tidier. another great product from Thomann
