Stairville DMX-Master I

Good starter for moving head lights

Used to light a band, joystick handy - using 2 fixtures for lighting the singer, 3rd for "dancing lights" 4th and 5th for backstage washes. A bit like programming a 70s VCR, but it works! (Use the pdf manual from this site - the one I googled was different and didn't work)

Solid DMX terminal

Works as intended, for a cheap first DMX terminal it is of great quality. Allows for programming of scenes and chases; not easy at first but once they're worked out it works perfectly fine.

Construction is solid, it's heavy so have no wories about damaging it. Great product

VERY NICE FOR THE PRICE

has everything you need for small projects

Good stuff, but a bit bulky

This is a golden DMX controller, has a lot of functions and easy to use. You can dim the light, make it auto, make it music driven. Programming is quite easy. All pieces look sturdy and very well built. I guess it would survive a fall from 2nd floor easily.

The only drawback is its size. This thing takes a lot of unnecessary space, because of those sides being pulled out, for design purposes i guess. However it doesn't add to functionality. It could be smaller, yet having same functions.

Also the plastic bag inside the box is a bit too small for this product.

Good value and capable

Confession first, being a newbie to DMX. This unit though does what we want, is quite easy to understand and manage. Only downside is it feels maybe a bit less than 100% in quality as sockets for power and cables quite early started to cause issues.

Perfect for starters

This controller is great for people getting started with DMX or just simply want to manage a couple of lights for a disco or small venue.

Great value for money too.

Flacky Product

Looked a good solid product at first, But quickly became quite unpredictable, scene 2 kept flicking between 2 and 3, I use 2 as a black out via midi, and as for MIDI !! don`t go there, You have a 1 in 3 chance it might work, I really need something more stable than this, Sorry sending item back!

Perfect Controller Good Features

I use 12 LED Wireless Generic Uplights within my Wedding business. A cracking controller ticks all the boxes for my needs, have tried various DMX controllers over the years but the Starville DMX-Master 1 comes out tops.

Perfect small controller

I've purchased loads of these units over the years.

If you need a small DMX controller for fixtures that don't have loads of channels then this is a perfect choice. I use one of these to control our follow spot rather than running it through our DMX software which works very well indeed. Programing is a little time consuming but if you use these as a live controller they are great. Never had one break down so very reliable.

very good product

I use with 2 moving heads and 4 par leds.

Pros: very good for 30 scenes

Cons: The power adaptor is very cheap
