DMX Controllers

As opposed to DMX software, DMX controllers are physical pieces of equipment that feature sliders and buttons to adjust the settings on your lights directly. They are best suited when adjusting a single light, but you can control multiple lights at the same time if they are chained together or set to different addresses.

DMX LED controllers are a more hands-on approach to lighting control. With separate sliders changing different elements of a light, for example, one slider being the dimmer, one being the colour, one being the gobo selector, you can control all of these elements manually.

DMX, in the simplest form, is achieved by setting an address on your light, and then using that address on the controller so that they work together. With smaller controllers with limited sliders and channels, you will be able to control a smaller amount of lights effectively. You can set multiple lights to the same DMX channel and address so that one slider will adjust more than one light's features at the same time, which is great if you are using similar lights and want them to be doing the same thing in unison.

A useful feature that our controllers offer is a microphone for sound-to-light activation. If one of your lights doesn't have sound-to-light built-in, you can attach it to a controller with this feature and it will then react to music and sounds that are picked up on the microphone on the controller, creating a more synchronised light show.
