Manufacturer's Description for Behringer LC2412 Eurolight Lighting Console
Behringer Eurolight LC2412 The Eurolight LC2412 is a professional 24-channel DMX lighting console with 24 preset channels assignable to 512 DMX channels. 120 scenes are storable in 10 banks, and there is an integrated chaser with up to 650 steps featuring sync-to-bass beat plus a frequency-dependent sound-to-light function.
Crossfade time is freely selectable, allowing for super-smooth scene fades, and there are two additional, multi-functional channels for special effects (e.g. fog machine, color changer etc.). You get ultra-flexible fading functions for manual and automatic operation and intuitive solo and channel flash functions.
Our extremely effective preview function allows "hidden" memory and chaser checks, even during live performances. The LC2412 also features dimmer control via DMX (5-pin) or analog output (0/+10 V) plus a MIDI interface for cascading two LC2412s (master/slave setup) and a PCMCIA card slot for storing of up to 25 complete settings (PCMCIA card not supplied). For added comfort, there are illuminated display/controls and BNC lamp socket for easy operation in dark stage environments.
The whole unit is extremely ruggedly constructed, and its steel casing ensures long life even under the most demanding conditions. A rack-mounting kit for installation in standard 19" racks is included, and the LC2412 is of course manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"My purchase had a manufacturing defect. zZounds responded to my plight quickly by shipping me a replacement item almost instantly. " - customer on January 22nd, 2012

"usefull, value-for-dollar, wiz-bang controller"
Sound:
it doesn't produce sound, so... the light control ability is good. many options squezed into a medium/small package.
Feature:
like i say, loaded with features. may be to many for typical theater use. but i found the pumping lights to bass/mid/treble and chase sync to tempo/beat to be much fun and not too hard to suss out. two 8-12 light channel scenes can be manually dialed in and crossfaded pretty easily.
Quality:
hard to say, yet - we've used it only 4-5 months. it's held up alright. needed a new battery after 3 months. first fader is loose/cuts in-out (time for contact cleaner). the unit does do what it's supposed to. allot of features we've yet to need, but glad to have - espicially for the price.
Value:
this is behringers secret it seems - made in china, designed in germany (?). it's the way of the future. so as china's manufacturing quality improves - the reliability should as well (and eventually the cost).
Manufacturer Support:
emailed support and within 3-5 days got a very helpful response. they even shipped me a free eprom firmware/op-system upgrade at no cost. this is a good sign that i can rely on a knowledgable support team even if the unit isn't built like a tank (we don't have a department-of-defense budget).
Overall:
it's still "new" - but we're using 3-5 behringer units (DIs, feedback killer, multi-gate) and have been happy so far. if you can spend some time to get to know it's features/interface, you'll like what you can do (i do). i'd still reccomend a more traditional unit for theater if cost isn't an issue. but it's a great little do-all. we were using an american dj dmx controller and it wasn't automatic/easy-to-use and died completly after 2 months (it was also a used purchase) - so this unit has restored some of my faith in dmx.

"I love it. You don't have to be a professional DJ to use it."
Sound:
It is a light controller, but it uses the audio line out from the mixer to sync the lights to the music. Im am not quite 100 % happy about how it follows the beat. Sometimes I have to manually jump through the steps of a chase. It does not put any noise in the sound system.
Feature:
For about $ 200 it has lots of features. No other company ofers so many channels and programs in a small box and so affordable.
Ease of Use:
Now that I play with it a lot it is very easy, but in the beginning I had a hard time learning, because the book is very bad. I gave up trying to use the book and discovered how to program it on my own.
They really need to rewrite the manual. I would have loved to see a video on how to program and use it, but Behringer does not offer one.
Quality:
No problems at all. It is built well, and looks very nice.
People complain about the battery, but more than two years have past and the battery is still good. I had to replace the 5 pin DMX connector with one that has 3 pins, and now I connect it to the dimmer packs with microphone cable.
Value:
Yes, I think it does all I want it to do and has features that others did not offer for same price.
Manufacturer Support:
I sent a few emails asking for more info on how to program the chases but they never answered back.
The book is bad, needs to be rewriten by an English or American born person. Behringer could make a video demostrating how to program the chases and how to use the conroller.
The Wow Factor:
People that came and looked at it were impressed. It looks great.
Most of them think it costs a lot more than what I paid.
Overall:
I have no plans to replace it, but if it is stolen I will buy another one just like this one.
