Great entry level DMX board
I currently have 2 of these and have recommended them to a few colleagues. I would have no issue adding another if needed. I normally use these for lighting rigs with around 20 fixtures which would be a mix of LED lighting, moving heads, strobes, blinders etc.
Very easy to programme scenes and chases into the desk. I often put these out on a dry hire where a lighting tech is not needed. Label the scenes and clients have no problem navigating the board. Super easy to explain.
Both of mine are in flightcases and I have had no issues with them over the years. Buttons etc are all still working fine.
The power supplies have held up fine also despite being the flimsy looking DC adaptor type. An improvement would be an IEC input. Overall a great little lighting desk for very little money. Put it in a flight case and it will last you years.

Not for DMX beginners
This is a lovely piece of kit, works well controlling the Stairville LED PAR 64's, I have yet to control my scanners with it but I am sure it will work just as well
If you understand DMX addressing, fixtures, channels etc etc then you will find it relatively easy to set up, if not you will feel like you have studied rocket science and solved the mystery of the universe!
Once set up however its fully featured and does what its meant to hence 5 stars
I have three small gripes:
1. No demo scenes/chases so you have to spend HOURS setting them up
2. The blue LED's are far too bright and blind you
3. The text could do with a slight illumination so you can see which slider you are using and what buttons you are pusing - if point 2 wasnt a problem then you would have half a chance of seeing what you were doing

Basic Lighting Desk at a good price.
This desk has the basic features you need to operate a small rig of up to 16 multi-channel DMX lighting fixtures and is rack mountable. The only minor criticism is that the fixure labelling on the left of the desk makes it unclear which unit you are selecting.
Service from Thomann excellent as usual.

DMX controller
Very easy to use with basic knowledge, only limiting factor is the amount of channels you have per fixture so any fancy moving heads with more than 8 functions i would say get a different board

This lighting equipment has been a game breaker with our youth group. The out put is very professional yet the equipment looks simple and also simple to use. On the other hand though it is not made that way I think it would be enhanced by a combination of lights that are in motion. As I said i cannot faulter this equipment.

Highly reccomended
If you want alot of features, relative ease of use and don't want to go down the road of light software of an expensive light desk like a tiger. Then this is the light board for you. If you know basic DMX its easy to use and program. Can do some great shows on the fly or with pre programmed scenes. Id rather use this for a small venue than pearl tiger. Downfalls are that some some lights may not respond 100% as expected but is still very effective.

Simple enough for beginners
This is the first DMX system I have bought. After using other, more complex desks to run reasonably simple shows, this desk is amazingly simple. Once you get past remembering a few steps for programming, everything just works.
The desk has also been used by someone more experienced than me to run a whole variety show performance, and they loved it too. So it seems to suit everyone from beginners to the experienced.
