DMX-4 is a four channel DMX controller, the simplest possible way to take manual control of a small rig with faders rather than menus.
Four faders, no menus.
It's a 4-channel dimmer/relay pack providing DMX control for on/off or dimming to units not equipped with DMX on their own. The fixture is optimized for use with small LED fixtures to prevent ghosting and flickering. Each of the 4 sets of outlets (duplex) can be set to any DMX address and independently set as a dimmer or relay. Sixteen user-selectable chase patterns make programming a breeze.

Do I Need a Lighting Controller?
Not to get started. Chauvet fixtures run automated and sound-active modes on their own, and ILS coordinates a rig without one. A controller matters when you want to call specific looks at specific moments rather than letting the rig run itself.
What Is DMX?
The standard control protocol for stage lighting. Fixtures are daisy-chained on a DMX cable and each is assigned an address, so a controller can address each one individually. It has been the industry standard for decades and it is what makes fixtures from different brands work together.
Wired or Wireless?
Wired DMX is reliable and cheap but means running cable across a venue. Wireless DMX removes the cable, which matters for uplighting placed around a room, at the cost of a transmitter and receiver at each end.
Why Chauvet DJ
Chauvet DJ has been the default answer in mobile DJ and small venue lighting for two decades, built on a simple premise: a lighting rig should set up fast, run without an operator and survive being loaded in and out several nights a week. The ILS system ties fixtures together so a whole rig responds as one without a DMX desk or a programmer, which is the reason a single DJ can run a room's worth of lighting alone. The company is based in Sunrise, Florida.
