The Or-Control is an excellent cost effective, easy to use DMX controller for your lighting show making it ideal if you are growing your lighting roster to multiple fixtures or deploying multiple shows on the road and want to standardize on a simple controller that everyone who works for you can quickly learn. It has metal construction which is always a plus for gear being constantly packed and unpacked. It has all the features and plenty of banks to program in enough scenes and chases to keep your show interesting. One great feature worth mentioning is the gooseneck USB powered LED light that plugs in the back and illuminates the work station. You can program up to 12 fixtures or fixture types (multiple fixtures using the same address such as up lights) which gives you plenty of options for most average sized gigs. Overall this is a great unit to have as part of your "essentials" kit that will grow with your light show.

I was looking for a basic controller that would give me the ability to program AND modify fixture attributes live (ie. during a performance). This is the only controller in this price range that will hold fixture attributes after a fixture is deselected. This alone is reason enough to go with the Orion controller as Chauvet, Microh and ADJ controllers are basically copies of the same system. Neither of those allows live changes without entering program mode. Power jack is a bit iffy and you need to be really careful not to disconnect from power during a show but otherwise, well worth the price. Only complaint (other than a really short power cord/wall wart) is it can't be rack-mounted. Too bad.

I use 2 banks of Yorkville 4 LED lamp, 4 high power Microh MAX QUAD LED ZOOM lights & 4 American DJ intelligent lights connected via DMX all controlled with MIDI from my laptop with stunning results. Everything from strobing to slow fades & blackouts can be programmed & the results are smooth & accurate. The previous poster must have lighting that does not utilize standard 512 DMX protocol because regardless of whether you use LED or regular 500 watt luminaires the controller works flawlessly. The determining factor is whether the LED fixture has dimming capability? Even LED bulbs intended for commercial or household applications that one can buy at Walmart have a warning label to let the consumer know that the bulb can be dimmed via a dimmer.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
