Stairville DMX-Master MK II ENC 5-stars Reviews

a good product for a good price

Of course, you don't expect a high-standard level from this device, however the building looks robust clean, and the metal body construction doesn't look "cheap", except for the grey plastic buttons. Nevertheless, these plastic buttons seem to work fine, with an instant 'clic' to the function. not enough time spent so far to rate the faders quality. Handling is quite intuitive even if switching from chaser back to scenes looks a little "dodgy" to me (I haven't been using a lighting desk during the last 15 years, so...!). Anyway, so far I'm pleased with it. I use it in my office room to control ambiant lights, and to create a mood when I'm practicing guitar at home. A good product for the price.

Great Fun

Once I got it up and running its great fun, just a bit time consuming but that was down to my knowledge! It's lasted allot of parties and stood the test of time.

Works as expected

Looks great and is easy to operate, with a good user manual. Just missing an USB port for light.

Great introduction to DMX

I found this unit a great introduction to DMX. The manual's not helpful but found a couple of good YouTube vids which showed me how to get started. I run a variety of light fixtures and programming is straightforward is a little tedious.

A blackout footswitch option would be really useful though.

Extremely resistant, compact DMX controller

There are many controllers as this one out there - but this has something more. You can feel it in the material: solid metal, no plastic (apart from the outer removable in installed in a rack setup). Super easy to use, easy to program and set up scenes as well as to use as live controller. Very nice to start out easy with a low budget and still run very professionally programmed scenes.

Perfect for any installation

Easy to use lightweight and durable

great

great for small to medium set ups and so easy to use

Great Product

This is a great controller that has been put to use in a small club controlling multiple types of lights.

it is easy to program and gives great effects at the touch of a button.

Good Value for the money.

Great all rounder

I don't know a whole lot about programming lights, but this console made it very easy to figure out a whole range of lighting scenes for LED Bars and moving heads.

Very Happy.

easy to use and ideal for beginners

purchased this for a primary schools stage lighting, this is used by the staff and year 6 and they find it easy to use without any problems.

Great controller for those with limited dmx programming experience to start out on. Ideal for those compare systems to bring in some control over all fixtures

Thing to make the lights flicker and that.

I like my Stairville DMX-Master MK II ENC very much. It's sleek design makes me look like a proper lighting pro. I can press all the buttons very quickly and make it look like I really know my stuff. Unfortunately, I'm not terribly well organised and every time I go to a gig, I have to write some new chases depending on the position of the stage, well, I say stage... it's more often than not somebody's old trestle table that they usually use for doing car boot sales and that. I also need to get around to colour coding my dmx cables and numbering my light units. It's one of those 'I'll get around to it' sort of jobs. Anyway, in the right hands the Stairville DMX-Master MK II ENC is everything you need it to be. I'm very pleased with mine and I think you should definitely get one. We can compare notes if you like.

Easy to Use Controller

My first dabble with DMX programming. I found the desk pretty easy to use. I am using it to control 4 moving heads which up to now I was using on their own sound activate settings. The desk allows you to get way more out of you lighting units.

really pleased with this dmx controller

So easy to use: great supporting documentation on usage of the device and programming scenes and chases.

Superb, solid build quality of the basic unit, faders and knobs/buttons appear to operate consistently and smoothly so far.

No complaints from me :-)

Great Introduction to DMX controlling

Having tried with other desks and failed to achieve even the most basic programmed operations this desk (after carefully studying of the manual and various videos on Youtube) has enabled me to produce the lighting effects I've been looking for. Yes you can run your LED DMX lights on sound to light and even slave them together but with this well priced desk you can black them all out simultaneously, get them performing individually or running in pre-programmed moods to suit the music your are playing, vary the brightness form 0 - 100%, select the colour RGB or any RGB mix, strobing, flashing all still with the option to sound to light to the desk. This has really taken our band's light show into another league, well worth the time to set up and a good price!

Great dmx lighting console

This is the first time I have used dmx lighting, and this is a great starter controller
