16-Channel DMX-512 Lighting Controller

This Monoprice controller manages DMX-512 data for stage and event lighting. It handles up to 12 intelligent fixtures across 16 channels per fixture. The unit stores 30 banks of 8 scenes for 240 total scenes and runs 6 chase sets simultaneously. Features include beat activation, tap sync, auto run, and MIDI compatibility.

Suited for small venues

Operators requiring control of more than 12 fixtures or more than 16 channels per fixture should consider a larger console. The 240-scene limit may restrict complex, long-form productions. Users needing wireless DMX transmission or built-in fixture libraries will not find those functions here.

Controls 12 fixtures at 16 channels each

The decisive specification is the 12-fixture, 16-channel capacity. This defines the maximum scale of rig the controller can address directly. Buyers must match this limit to their fixture count and channel requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I set the DMX start address on the Monoprice 612120 controller?

Each of the 12 fixtures uses up to 16 channels; assign a unique start address on every light that matches the controller’s channel block so they do not overlap.

What regular upkeep does the 612120 controller require?

Keep the unit dust-free, check cable connectors for corrosion, and verify MIDI and DMX ports stay tight; no internal batteries or consumable parts are listed.

How many scenes can run simultaneously before the 612120 hits its chase limit?

The controller stores 240 scenes across 30 banks and can execute multiple chases at once, each chase holding up to 240 scenes.
