CHAUVET DJStage Light Accessory (DMX-AN 2)

I have 2 Chauvet DMX-An2. I used mine with a MacBook Pro 2022, Anker usb-c hub, and a TP link 5 port switch. Software was Chamsys. I set them up for artnet and they worked perfect. I had zero issues in the configuration and chamsys picked it up immediately. Fantastic product for the price.Only 2 cons I can think of.1) no good way to rig it to truss.2) no RDM, but for the price I could look passed that.

Great item , fair price. Plug and play

The AN2 does what it says it does. It outputs or takes an input of 2 DMX universes and sends/receives that data over Artnet/sACN. Apart from a somewhat clunky and slow web UI, the device functions as expected and I haven't had any issues with it. Note that it does not support RDM.It's not a pathport octo, but neither is it's price, so for a small and portable Artnet node it's great.

I was using a competitor's interface with RGBW LED strips hooked to a DMX decoder. I kept having random flickering and flashing that I could not fix. I finally swapped out the interface with this, and it has been rock solid with no issues. My only complaint is that it is not set to DHCP from the factory. So I had to hook it up to my computer, change IP addresses, and then switch it over to DHCP for my network. It would be much easier to setup with DHCP set by default.

Easy to setup .. built like crap .. if you need tough ..this ain’t enough .. if you need cheap then this is deep .. even better yet.. power over Ethernet .. could be worse but you got 2 universe

Easy set up and works to connect to two DMX universes as desired. It seems the unit has to be completely reset and reconfigured every 2 to 3 weeks as it somehow loses ability to connect to the DMX universe. Sometimes unplugging for a while and plugging back in will work, but the most consistent solution is a hard reset and then reconfigure. Major pain to deal with.

Excelente material, dos universos para trabajar, y se puede utilizar con chamsys que es excelente opción de software de iluminación.

This is a love hate relationship with this device. As a DJ I want to use my software on my iPad to control my DMX lights wireless and creating an art net is the way to do it. So I took calling Chauvet, who are very helpful by the way to get it configured. which once it it it works well. But for no reason at all. I did not drop it or anything like that. It stop working. After trouble shooting, it was just an internal systems failure, and I had to buy another one. and a year. the same thing happened this time. I tested the system before the show and it worked great. Then 2 days later the day of the show. it broke. I know this because the lights would not turn on. Just like the previous one. So I'm actually going to see if Chauvet can repair before I buy a third one. Because at the end of the day when it works it works great. But it breaks to easy
