Page History

from 2004 til 2010 i was the chief technican and LJ (Light jockey) in a Berliner Club at the weekends for example.

as i started in 2004 the most light controllers was controlled with 1-10V and DMX, to control old 250W-500W PAR54/PAR64 cans and 14 moving heads and a lot of big scanners.. 2 other smaller rooms with a total of 32 scanners.

It was time to change for RGB LEDs.

in this case it was needed to turn out the old power cables too and install new main power fuse racks for around 128Ampere on 380V (including PA)

the old analog stuff to RGB LEDs, new Movingeheads and everything was changed to digital controlled by a PC with touchscreen. Additional functions like recording and playback was a great help for a "disaster recovery process".

At all was the system in a "bad" condition, less maintenance , often outages of Sound and Light devices.

> at this time I worked in my daily job with IT Service Management and I started to bring my knowledge in the "Clubs"

One of my main goals was to start/implement a Riskmanagement for outages of the hole Club ! And furthermore develop Solutions for a lot of risks. From easy tasks - but planned: device service - every week, process driven services for repairs, maintenance of Mixers, Turntables, Amps, Speakers.

to more complicated tasks: "acceptance and continues improvements" – After less than one year the Crew and all involved people was successful in the processes and the outages of the Sound system and Light System was in a stable state.

Furthermore: Feedbacks with DJs, Awareness Talks with Djs, MCs, other technicians - about Gain Limits, Wiring (Notebooks with ground loop issues), It was a big issue that DJs connected their own devices and destroyed very often the Turntable ground cable and RCA cables (for example)
