DMX512 STAGE LIGHTING CONTROLLER CONSOLE

DMX512 Stage Lighting Controller Console – Take Full Command of Your Lighting Setup

The DMX512 Stage Lighting Controller Console is a 192-channel hardware lighting desk designed to control moving heads, LED PAR lights, strobes, scanners and other DMX-compatible stage fixtures. It supports up to 12 fixtures with 16 DMX channels each, programmable scenes and chases, sound activation, Tap Sync, fade control and MIDI functions for DJ, stage and event lighting setups.

Technical Specifications

The 192-channel capacity, 12 × 16 fixture architecture, 30 banks with eight scenes each, six chase programs, built-in microphone, MIDI functions and Page A/B control are documented for the matching DMX-192 console platform.

Control Up to 12 DMX Lighting Fixtures

The console provides 192 DMX control channels, organised to manage up to 12 lighting fixtures with a maximum of 16 channels assigned to each fixture.

This makes it practical for small and medium event systems using equipment such as:

• Moving head beam lights

• Moving head wash lights

• LED PAR lights

• Stage strobes

• Scanners

• Derby and effect lights

• DMX-compatible laser fixtures

• Other DMX512 lighting equipment

Each fixture can be selected from the dedicated scanner buttons, allowing the operator to control individual units or groups during programming and live operation.

For example, a 16-channel moving head can use one complete fixture allocation, while simpler PAR fixtures using fewer channels can still be addressed and controlled within the console's overall 192-channel DMX range.

30 Banks and Up to 240 Programmable Scenes

The controller provides 30 banks with eight programmable scene positions per bank, giving operators up to 240 stored scenes.

A scene stores a specific combination of DMX channel values. This means an operator can pre-program looks such as:

• Stage wash colours

• Moving-head positions

• Dimmed venue lighting

• Wedding entrance scenes

• Speaker spotlighting

• Dance-floor colour combinations

• Performance lighting looks

Instead of adjusting every fixture manually during the event, saved scenes can be recalled from the console when required.

This is particularly useful for weddings, corporate events, DJ shows and venue installations where the same lighting looks need to be repeated throughout a programme.

Six Programmable Chases for Automated Light Shows

The DMX controller supports six programmable chase sequences.

A chase plays a sequence of programmed scenes automatically, allowing fixtures to change colour, movement, dimming and other DMX parameters without continuous manual adjustment.

Operators can control chase timing using the dedicated Speed and Fade Time controls.

This gives the console enough programming flexibility for:

• DJ performances

• Dance floors

• Club lighting

• Stage shows

• Wedding entertainment

• Live music events

• Repeating venue lighting sequences

8 Faders with 16-Channel Fixture Control

Eight physical channel faders provide direct adjustment of DMX values.

The console uses Page A and Page B to access up to 16 channels for each selected fixture:

• Page A controls channels 1–8

• Page B controls channels 9–16

This arrangement keeps the controller compact while still allowing operators to access fixtures with more complex DMX personalities.

Depending on the connected fixture, these channels may operate parameters such as dimmer intensity, colour, pan, tilt, strobe speed, gobos, zoom or other functions defined by the fixture's DMX channel chart.

Built-In Microphone for Sound-Activated Lighting

A built-in microphone enables lighting programs to respond to music without requiring a separate audio-trigger device.

When music mode is activated, programmed lighting sequences can advance according to detected audio beats.

This is useful for DJs, discos, parties and entertainment venues where automatic music-responsive lighting is required.

For more controlled operation, the console can also run sequences using manual controls or automatic timing.

Tap Sync, Speed and Fade Time Controls

Lighting timing can be adjusted directly from the console.

Tap Sync allows the operator to set a timing reference manually, while the Speed control adjusts the playback rate of automatic sequences.

The dedicated Fade Time control determines how quickly channel values transition between programmed steps.

This allows the same programmed scenes to produce different results depending on the event. Faster transitions can suit energetic DJ sets, while slower fades can work better for weddings, dinners, theatre or corporate presentations.

Manual and MIDI Blackout Control

The dedicated Blackout function allows the operator to immediately stop DMX output when a dark stage or lighting reset is required.

Blackout can be activated manually and the matching DMX-192 controller platform also supports MIDI-based operation.

MIDI functionality can be useful when integrating the lighting controller with compatible external equipment or performance workflows.

4-Digit LED Display

The controller uses a four-digit LED display to provide operating information during programming and playback.

Depending on the operating mode, the display can show information related to:

• Chases

• Scenes

• Banks

• DMX values

• Timing

The physical display, buttons and faders make this a standalone controller, so a laptop or lighting-control software is not required for normal operation.

What's Included & Compatibility

The controller is designed for use with DMX512-compatible lighting fixtures.

Typical compatible equipment includes:

• Moving head lights

• LED PAR lights

• Wash fixtures

• Beam lights

• Scanners

• Strobe lights

• DMX laser lights

• Stage effect lighting

A complete installation will also require appropriate DMX cables and properly addressed fixtures.

The exact supplied power cable/adaptor and package contents should be confirmed from the physical Stagify stock before publication, because documentation for this controller family shows different power-supply arrangements between versions.

How Many Lights Can the DMX512 Controller Control?

The console can control up to 12 fixtures with up to 16 channels assigned to each fixture, giving a total capacity of 192 DMX channels.

The actual number of physical lights that can be operated depends on how the fixtures are DMX-addressed and how many channels each model uses.

How Many Scenes Can I Program?

The matching DMX-192 platform provides 30 banks with eight scenes in each bank, giving up to 240 programmable scene positions.

Scenes can then be used individually or combined into chase sequences for automated lighting shows.

Can It Control Moving Head Lights?

Yes. The controller can operate DMX-compatible moving heads as long as their channel requirements fit within the console's 16-channel-per-fixture architecture.

The fixture must first be correctly addressed, and its DMX channel chart should be used to identify functions such as pan, tilt, colour, dimmer and gobo control.

Does It Work With LED PAR Lights?

Yes. Standard DMX512 LED PAR fixtures can be controlled from the console.

Channels can typically be assigned to functions such as red, green, blue, white, dimming and strobe, depending on the PAR light's selected DMX mode.

Does It Have Sound-Activated Control?

Yes. A built-in microphone allows programmed sequences to react to music in sound-activated mode.

The console also supports manual and automatic playback, providing more flexibility for different event environments.

Does the Controller Need a Computer?

No. It is a standalone hardware DMX controller.

Scenes, chases, speed, fade time, blackout and fixture control can be programmed and operated directly from the console.

Does It Work With UAE Power?

The documented controller platform accepts AC 90–240V at 50–60Hz, covering the UAE's 220–240V / 50Hz mains supply.

The exact plug or external power adaptor supplied with the Stagify unit should be verified from stock before stating a specific plug type.

Installation & Operating Notes

Assign each connected fixture a correct DMX starting address according to its channel mode before programming the console.

Use proper DMX signal cable rather than standard microphone cable for longer or more demanding installations, and terminate longer DMX chains where required.

Keep the controller indoors and protected from moisture, liquids and excessive heat. Power should be disconnected before changing electrical connections or servicing lighting equipment.
