The Martin M1 TS is a professional touchscreen lighting controller designed for programming and live operation of DMX lighting systems in nightclubs, mobile DJ setups, and small to medium-sized venues. This compact console combines a vibrant color touchscreen interface with a set of dedicated physical playback faders and buttons, offering an intuitive workflow for both programming and executing light shows. It is engineered to be user-friendly for operators at various skill levels, providing a visual environment where fixtures can be patched, positioned, and have their attributes (color, gobo, movement) controlled via on-screen encoders and the touch display. The controller supports a wide range of DMX fixtures, from simple dimmers to complex moving heads and LED pars, making it a versatile central hub for dynamic lighting.

The M1 TS operates on the powerful Martin M-Series software platform, which allows for the creation of cuelists, chases, and effects that can be triggered manually or synchronized to music via its built-in sound-to-light engine or an external audio input. Its key features include a fixture library, a pixel mapper for basic control of LED matrices, and the ability to create and store scenes for instant recall. The physical control surface includes programmable faders, flash buttons, and a crossfader for smooth transitions between looks, providing tactile control during live performance that complements the touchscreen's flexibility for deeper programming.

Housed in a durable, portable case suitable for transport to gigs, the Martin M1 TS is a self-contained lighting control solution that balances power with accessibility. It typically includes DMX output via XLR connectors and may offer remote device management (RDM) capability for configuring fixtures directly from the console. For DJs, club technicians, and lighting operators who require a reliable, all-in-one controller capable of running sophisticated shows without the complexity and size of larger, more expensive consoles, the M1 TS delivers professional-grade functionality in a streamlined package.
