Description

The QTX DM-X16 is a 192-channel DMX lighting controller with 16 physical faders, 12 fixture buttons, and 30 programmable banks holding 8 scenes each. The front panel provides direct access to all 16 channels simultaneously without page navigation, while the LCD display shows the current scene, chase and fixture status. The controller can store up to 240 scenes across 30 banks and program these into 6 chase sequences holding up to 240 scenes each.

Designed for small theatre, stage, church and event lighting installations where multiple fixtures need coordinated control, the DM-X16 can trigger chase sequences by sound activation, manual tap tempo, or automatic timing ranging from 0.1 seconds to 10 minutes per step. Each of the 12 fixture buttons controls up to 16 DMX channels per fixture, giving full control over 192 channels total. A MIDI IN port allows the controller to sync with MIDI equipment or compatible software for timed show programming.

The controller is housed in a 19-inch rack-mountable case with removable plastic protection handles that can be detached for permanent rack installation. A blackout button cuts all outputs instantly, while a built-in microphone allows audio triggering of chases without requiring external sound-to-light hardware. The included LED gooseneck lamp plugs into the rear panel to illuminate the control surface in dark performance environments. The unit runs on a 9Vdc 1A external power supply and weighs 3.0kg.
