Showtec Showmaster 24 MKII DMX Lighting Controller

Showtec Showmaster 24 MKII DMX Lighting Controller

24 dedicated channel faders provide direct control of DMX lighting levels from the console surface.

The console offers two 12-channel presets or one 24-channel preset. It stores 48 scenes or chases, with up to 999 steps in an individual chase.

Programs can run at a set speed, follow sound from the built-in microphone or external audio input, or respond to MIDI control. MIDI In, Out and Thru connections support integration with other MIDI equipment.

The three-digit LED display shows intensity as a percentage or a DMX value from 0 to 255. Separate Master A and B faders control overall channel and scene levels according to the selected operating mode. Scenes cannot be recorded in Double Preset mode.

Main Features

• Two independent master crossfaders support transitions between prepared lighting settings.
• Tap Sync sets chase timing from repeated button taps, while Step advances to the next step.
• Fade time ranges from an instant change to 10 minutes, with separate chase speed control.
• Single and Mix modes run programs sequentially or simultaneously.
• Chase direction can be reversed for an individual program or for all programs.
• Blind and Home temporarily release a channel from a running chase for manual control, then restore it.
• Flash buttons set individual channels to full intensity; Add/Kill determines how they interact with other scenes.
• Hold maintains the current scene and Full On sets all channels to full intensity. Blackout suppresses output except Flash and Full On operation.
• MIDI File Dump sends and receives program data through MIDI. Other functions are unavailable during data transfer.
• A detachable frame and included side panels provide options for configuring the console for installation.
