What matters in use
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 01
Sized to sit on a rack shelf or lie flat beside a mixer instead of taking a stand of its own.
Detail 02
Light enough to live in a gig bag and get set up one-handed at load-in.
Detail 03
A wall-wart, not an IEC cable. Easy to leave behind, and worth carrying a spare.
Detail 04
Tiny current, so it shares a power strip with the rest of the booth without any concern.
Detail 05
Boots instantly and can't crash mid-show the way a laptop running lighting software can.

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. It's a standalone hardware controller — plug in the 12V supply, run DMX to your fixtures, and it works with nothing else attached.
Yes. The COLORstrip is a DMX-512 fixture, so it patches to this controller over a standard DMX cable once you set its address.
No. Plan on one cable from the controller to your first fixture, plus a short one for each additional fixture in the chain.
It's 19 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall, which matches standard rack width. A rack shelf or drawer is the safe way to mount it.
