Chris B Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Very new here so bear with me. What is the big difference between the "k" version and the "pc" kits. I bought the "K" version that has to be soldered together as i am a diy'er. Are they all compatible. I did a search and found basically a one word answer in that no they are not the same controller. Could someone explain? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisquit476 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Take a look at this file, it shows the basic differences. BTW, you can't go wrong with the "K" deluxe kit. Attached files C6F70BC3d01.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 My vote is the CTB-16KD... http://store.lightorama.com/16chkitstwih1.htmlMaybe overkill in some ways, but I like having all the same units. Also prefer the screw terminals, so any of the CTB-16Ks should have what you are looking for. You'll need to come up with your own enclosure solution, but thats not terribly difficult.If you are a kit/project builder, reasonable soldering skills, you'll find LOR kits are a great enjoyment to build.

Could someone explain? Thanks ChrisThe K version is the board used in the Showtime (now being called Showtime Pro) controllers. So you might find more discussion on the difference between a Showtime controller and a PC (sometimes referred to as a Showtime PC or residential on LOR's website) controller (and obviously some things won't apply since you are using a kit and your own enclosure...i.e. showtime enclosure is metal, PC is plastic, etc.).I use all PC controllers since I am running a musical show. Yes, all LOR products are compatible. (they all just connect to each other with cat5).Good discussions on this topic:http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum25/23291.html(changed to this discussion half way down the page)http://lightorama.mywowbb.com/forum80/22003-1.html(best discussion starts on page 2)Also a comparison chart here: http://www.lightorama.com/ShowtimePC.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
