Stairville DMX-Master MK II ENC

If you are new to DMX and want a controller that is simple to use but get's you very far then this is a very viable option. I didn't expect this controller to be as versatile as it is,as to be fair, it doesn't look very complex.

Been using it as the main light controller in my club for a little over a year now and it can take a beating, spilled drinks etc. No problem operating sveral diffrent lights at once, and it's possible to operate a single lightsource outside of chases. This is very good when you want to ex make a laser shine constantly while not interfering with your chase.

Recommended. Better then it looks.

I brought one of these desk quite a long time ago.
It has been accepted with mixed results and I wish now i had understood better Thomann's return policy / 3 year warranty.

The plus points are:
+ Great features
+ aesthetically pleasing design
+ ergonomic rubbery/soft surround.
+ Easier than most similar desks to understand/operate.

The only bad point is that after about 5 months the desk stopped working due to a faulty power inlet - the connection to the circuit board became broken and at the time I did not know how to solder or use Thomann's 3 year warranty / repair service.

This seems to be a common problem with desks powered by a standard 12v power adaptor and jack, its a shame Stairwell did not use the standard 4-pin XLR connector for power..

Would i recommend it - sadly no, and thats a shame because its the only product out of hundreds that ive brought from thomann not to pass standards.
