DMX, DMX & More DMX

A Look into a DMX Universe

One Dmx Universe universe contains a maximum of 512 Channels. Note these are channels not fixtures. Each fixture (Lighting unit) may use multiple channels.

For example a common fixture could use four channels the function of these channels could be :

  • Channel 1: Dimmer
  • Channel 2: Red
  • Channel 3: Green
  • Channel 4: Blue

If you had five of the same fixtures as an example you would need to use 20 channels to have independent control of all five fixtures. you would then need to set the address on each fixture. It does not matter in the order you number your fixtures address, you could make fixture ones address as 5 , fixture two as 9, three as 13, four as17, then the last address 1.

if you wanted all the the fixtures to be in sync and controlled by just four channels, you can set all five of these lights to the same channel number.

Wiring DMX is very simple using a 3 pin XLR cable you wire from one fixture to the next, Note the need to use DMX cable not a microphone cable, which has a different impedance (110 ohms vs  between 45 and 75 ohms on standard microphone cable).

Using the wrong cable can result in light flickering and not acting as they should. The end fixture in the chain should also have an end terminator plug inserted in the “out connection”

DMX Splitters

The maximum distance permissible for a DMX signal is 300m. If you need longer distances, DMX Splitters are required, The maximum number of 32 DMX fixtures per DMX daisy-chain, Before a splitter is used

Event Planning Tips


Portrait of Benjamin Franklin by Joseph Duplessis, 1778

“By Failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”

โ€”Benjamin Franklin

Timetable for your event

Whether you’re arranging a birthday celebration or a baby shower, a preliminary timetable will provide you with a general overview of how the event should unfold. Furthermore, it will assist you in maintaining order and ensuring a seamless progression from beginning to end, including allowing extra time for setup and packing away after the event.

While devising the timetable, in addition to determining the obvious commencement and conclusion moments, allocate ample time for each planned activity and incorporate a buffer to account for potential delays. Reflect on the event’s flow and your desired progression. Would you like to kick things off with enjoyable party games to break the ice, or is it preferable for everyone to socialize initially? As the host, the choice is yours!

Crafting a party schedule is an enjoyable and imaginative endeavour that will greatly enhance your party planning journey!


Create a playlist


Get ready to groove! Your party’s vibe hinges on the music, so prep that ultimate playlist. Start by packing the dance floor early, but don’t blow all your top hits at once! Let the energy build as the beats stay lively.

Here’s a blast: have your guests toss in their fave tracks. When the party’s on, they’ll be psyched to sing along when their jam kicks in!


Create a Checklist

Crafting a party checklist is like assembling your ultimate party wingman. It’s your personalized roadmap to a flawless shindig. From the grand vision down to the tiniest details, this list ensures nothing slips through the cracks. Jot down must-haves like decorations that dazzle, treats that tantalize, and music that moves. Factor in invites, timings, and those unexpected backup plans.

Empower: a Cinderella Story

The show was an absolute marvel, a testament to the unwavering dedication and effort put forth by everyone involved. From the meticulous set building to the relentless pursuit of mastering lines and refining vocal prowess, the hard work truly paid off. The cast’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary as they captivated the audience in a packed hall.

The support and encouragement from the audience, especially the presence of many friends and family, played a significant role in bolstering the cast’s confidence and making the experience all the more magical. Being a part of such a breath-taking afternoon has been an honour, and it leaves me eagerly awaiting the next spectacular production.


About Vocal Footprint

Vocal Footprint is an arts company comprised of three groups: for the young and motivated, a Theatre Club and a Singing Club arranged in 3 separate age groups, and “A-Tone-Meant” – an adult singing group open to all.

Creative Director Eleanor Valdebouze is building a school of thought by providing this outlet in which young people as well as adults can gather together as a community to further their skills, their creativity, and to perform.

As a strong believer in the arts as a tool for learning and development and as a therapeutic means for healing and sharing, Eleanor offers you the chance to be seen and heard. Come join us!

I have all round training in Performing Arts, having studied Theatre as a Degree, Musical Theatre, Dance, Physical Theatre, Music, Song-writing and Choral Conducting.

“The workshops that I have created are game lead so as to make it really fun for the children and without them realising they are in fact learning how to perform. The workshops promote focus and the use of their imagination. Whilst making it interactive it builds their confidence and speech skill set. The clubs suit a wide age range and all abilities.”
