Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A standalone DMX dimmer pack for conventional lamp fixtures. For small DJ and stage rigs that already have a controller and just need dimming and blackouts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding dimmed circuits to a rig that already has a DMX console
- Mobile DJs running par cans who want fades, not on/off
- Expanding an existing setup one pack at a time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a DMX controller — nothing here generates cues
- LED and moving-head fixtures, which need constant power
- Large installs where a rack-mount pack with breakers makes more sense
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
DMX in
It follows a console or software interface. Address the pack, and its channels sit in a block on your fader layout.
Detail 03
$234.99
Component pricing rather than kit pricing — you supply the controller, cable, and fixtures separately.
Detail 04
Fixed channel count
Bigger shows scale by adding packs down the DMX line, not by finding a larger single unit.
Detail 05
Mains pass-through
The supply circuit caps your total lamp wattage. Two packs on one household breaker is where people trip things.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You supply DMX cable and a controller; the pack only responds to signal
- 02Set the DMX start address before the show so channels land where expected
- 03Give it airflow — dimmers run warm under sustained full load
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this without a DMX controller?
Plan on a controller. The pack's job is to act on incoming DMX levels, so a console, USB-DMX interface, or lighting app is part of the setup.
02Will it dim LED par cans?
No. LED fixtures have their own drivers and dim over DMX at the fixture. Feeding them chopped mains voltage causes flicker or damage. Run them on constant power.
03Can I chain two packs together?
Yes, that is the normal way to grow a rig — run DMX from one pack to the next and set each to a different start address. Watch your electrical load.
04Is this rack mountable?
Packs in this class are commonly mounted to truss or a rack shelf. Confirm the hardware you need for your specific mounting position before show day.
