The NSI N7016-D00 MC 7016 is a professional-grade, manual memory lighting console designed for controlling up to 16 dimmer channels, expandable to 32 channels, in theatrical, architectural, and live event applications. It operates as a two-scene preset console, featuring two identical banks of 16 faders (A and B) that allow the lighting operator to manually crossfade between two complete looks or to set up the next scene while the current one is active. Each channel fader provides individual control over its assigned dimmer, and the console includes comprehensive submasters for storing and executing partial or full lighting scenes independently of the main A/B playback. Its "memory" capability allows users to store and recall up to 99 scenes or chases, providing a bridge between purely manual operation and fully automated playback for small to medium-scale productions.

The console is built with robust, touring-grade components to withstand the demands of frequent use. It features a clear, backlit LCD for displaying patch information, cue lists, and system status. Control is facilitated through a dedicated keypad for navigating memories, setting timing for fades and crossfades, and programming chases. Output is via a standard DMX512 signal, ensuring compatibility with a vast array of dimmer racks and intelligent lighting fixtures. The inclusion of a DMX input allows for merging or backup from another controller, and non-volatile memory retains all programming even when power is disconnected.

As a versatile and reliable workhorse, the NSI MC 7016 is well-suited for schools, community theaters, houses of worship, and mobile DJs who need a console that offers both intuitive manual control for busking and the structured playback of pre-programmed cues. Its expandable channel count and memory functions provide room for growth, making it a cost-effective solution for users who require more capability than a simple analog desk but may not need the complexity of a large digital moving light console. It represents a practical and enduring design in stage lighting control.
