Control Your On/Off Effects in a Snap
Designed for switching, the "Multiswitch DMX-512 4-Channel" is the ideal partner to trigger your on/off devices: strobes, smoke machines, non-dimmable fixtures, static LED effects, or light decorations. Whether in clubs, on stage, at weddings, DJ parties, theater sets, or fixed installations (bars, restaurants), it provides reliable power management for effects without complicating your DMX network.
Who Is This Switchpack For?
This switchpack is suitable for mobile DJs seeking a lightweight and quick-to-deploy setup, lighting technicians looking for clean and synchronized on/off distribution, event hosts and venue operators needing to automate simple sequences, as well as discerning individuals who want to ensure reliable effects control at home or in a home studio.
Features and Innovations
The "Multiswitch DMX-512 4-Channel" centralizes the power on/off switching of four independent lines, each addressable via DMX on a dedicated channel. Its 16 built-in programs generate dynamic and perfectly timed chases, with continuous speed adjustment to match the mood. Depending on your needs, switch between DMX mode (control from a console), autonomous mode (internal playback), and master/slave mode to clone behavior across multiple units. Designed for non-dimmable loads, this switching pack ensures clean and synchronous triggering without flicker or approximation, allowing you to structure your shows reliably.
