Stairville DDC-12 DMX Controller

Simple

Cheap and plasticky, and with very few features. But that's the good part. Sometimes you need something simple with just the basics.

it's basic, it's cheap, it does the work where it was intended to.

Great simple controller

These are great simple controllers for a 12-channel rig, or as an auxiliary desk for running effects outside of the main DMX ring, such as strobes or smoke machines that you want to keep manual control of.

We have one of them installed in a small drama space that has a 12ch generic rig, and we have another of the 6-channel versions that we use as a simple controller for strobes or smoke machines when they are used on their own but want remote control.

It's helpful for non-technical users as it just turns on and works. Can run off a 9V battery as well.

Handy controller

Very handy controller and easy to use. Good value and works great.

Great Bit Of Kit

The Stairville DDC-12 DMX Controller was a useful purchase. I use this proudct for Disco's and connect LED Par Cans to it using the DMX out function to daisychain all the lights in my system together. This gives me complete control of the lighting saving time and energy meaning I can just walk into a venue and be ready to go. Its master fader is also very useful if for example the client is bringing in a birthday cake I can just reduce the light level contributing to the moment.

Very neat

... and surprisingly stylish for a budget unit. Just the job

great for what it is! Cheap & simple! :) Not the best quality of course but for its price it's fine!

would also like a cheap & simple version but one that's a bit "smarter" (can select different fixtures with different dmx addresses, and maybe also have a very basic memory of scenes! :)

Easy stuff

Does what it is supposed to do. No more, no less.

Broke down after a couple of months and will not work.

Cheap and you get what you pay for.

Great Little Unit!

We bought this controller as a unit that is ideal for small productions where it could be hired out with no fuss and can be used by anyone. This is exactly what this is. Its great for connecting to a dimmer or LED products too. We have sent this unit our neumours ammount of times over the past few months to schools, churches and more. We can't fault it! Along with the added bonus of having 12ch as opposed to some that only have 10ch this lends it's self to a number of applications. We would highly reccomend this to anyone doing small basic shows or bands. This would also work well with the Stairville LED Bar 252 DMX RGB (item. 234564)

Stairville DDC-12 DMX controller

Very nice simple DMX controller. This is great if you are mixing a few DMX lamps with some older ones, we use this as an auxillary board beside the main control board. Only problem we had, it is a bit light and walks across the desk during a show if you get a bit frantic, we eventually tied in down on a stand and it was fine.
