<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I have 6 Apollo MXR's that see frequent use. They are around three years old and have held up just fine. Mostly, I use them with S4 Pars with metal cold mirror reflectors. Having the ability to mix color is great artistically and gives my students some direct experience of working with DMX controlled devices. LEDs were way out of my price range and will be until the renovation of my space is completed in two years. Until then, conventionals, the MXR's and the occasional (but rare) LED rental are what I will be using. <br><br></div>Keith Newman<br></div>Technical Director<br></div>Cleveland Heights High School <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 4, 2015 at 6:17 PM, Kevin Allen via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I really thought someone would pick up the CXI.
