The Irradiant IR-CL-DMX-STAGE-24-P is a professional, hardware-based DMX lighting controller engineered for intuitive, real-time control of complex stage and event lighting setups. Designed with the live operator in mind, it features 24 high-quality, touch-sensitive faders, each paired with dedicated RGB focus LEDs and control buttons, providing clear visual feedback and immediate access to scenes, chases, and individual fixture parameters. Its layout is logically organized into groups of faders, allowing for simultaneous management of multiple dimmers, intelligent moving lights, and color-mixing fixtures without the need for complex software navigation. This standalone controller generates its own DMX signal, eliminating the reliance on an external computer and providing a robust, dedicated solution for concerts, theaters, and mobile DJ performances where software stability can be a concern.

Built with a rugged, transport-friendly metal chassis, the unit is constructed to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent setup. Its central command section includes a large, backlit LCD screen that clearly displays patch information, channel levels, and programming menus, while a comprehensive set of playback masters and a tactile, industrial-grade rotary encoder facilitate precise adjustments. The controller excels in live performance environments, offering features like a built-in audio microphone for sound-to-light triggering, a fully programmable 88-key virtual keypad for quick selection of fixtures or scenes, and the ability to run multiple independent chases and cue lists simultaneously. This combination of hands-on physical control and flexible programming makes it a powerful tool for creating dynamic, responsive lighting shows on the fly.

The system supports a full DMX512 universe (512 channels) and offers multiple output options, including standard 5-pin XLR connectors, ensuring compatibility with virtually all professional lighting gear. Programming is streamlined through a user-friendly menu structure, enabling operators to easily patch fixtures, build scenes by example (by setting levels on the faders and saving them), and create complex chases with adjustable fade times and crossfades. For the lighting professional who values tactile feedback and operational reliability over software-based solutions, this controller provides a comprehensive, all-in-one command center. It delivers the direct, expressive control necessary to execute a polished, visually synchronized performance from a single, dedicated hardware console.
