DMX MASTER 1 LIGHTING CONTROLLER

Can anyone tell me what these DMX controllers are like? I am looking for a basic DMX controller with joystick to run Acme Dynamo scans, Martin Destroyers, and whatever lighting I might get later (maybe a couple of budget moving heads). This one is up for about £120.

I have no knowledge of DMX yet!

hi brian,
same here,i dont know anything about dmx but ive heard a lot of talk about this dmx controller

i was thinking about getting one just for my laser and gladiators.

Well spotted Jim, that's nearly half the price of this one I was looking at.

Unfortunately, my local shop doesn't seem well placed to advise on DMX, so I will not be using him for this particular purchase.

if you try and buy the thomann dmx over here its about £100
and it is exactly the same model as the chauvet dmx 50 but just a different colour.
the only other problem is they are in germany

thanks norty
ive had major problems with a german company over a laser i bought and they sent me a totaly different model.

The Thomann unit is identical in all but colour to the Showtec Scanmaster 3 from Highlite International.

They are very much a budget controller, and not bad for the price, they're made in Hong Kong by N.C.W. ENTERPRISE CO LTD, (who make the BOTEX brand lighting equip.)

They're also stocked under the Prolight brand, Chauvet, Soundlab, Maplin etc etc.

The pushbuttons dont last long, the firmware is a little cranky but otherwise ok.

It is brand new and only used it once. Has no joystick but you dont really need one as the faders will do all that for you.

I will let it go for about £70 if you pay cash and can collect.
