32 Channel 96A RGBW DMX 512 LED Decoder Controller DMX Dimmer DC5-24V RGBW RGB LED Light 8 Bit/16 Bit

This DMX decoder does exactly what it says on the tin (literally as its screen printed case is labelled well and built very sturdily)!I've had it a little while now so have had a good chance to put it through its paces. It accepts any DMX signal I can throw at it (USB to DMX dongle, Zero 88 Console and E1.31/sACN to DMX interface, along with a few testers for good measure)!Configuring the decoder is very simple, using the three buttons that are under the LED display.As it's possible to drive high current loads through the decoder, four supply inputs are provided. These can be driven from a single high-current power supply or separate ones as necessary. Each input powers two groups of four outputs however it should be noted that the ground (zero volt) inputs are commoned inside the decoder. Different voltage supplies could even be used if you need to power a 5V, 12V and 24V LED strips simultaneously, for example. The decoder is powered from the power supply inputs and seems to require around 90mA at 12V and 40mA at 24V.The outputs (on very good removeable connector blocks) are arranged for easy connection of RGBW LED strips although can easily be used for any other purpose (within reason)! The outputs can be configured in one, two, three or four channel modes with the decoder requiring 8, 16, 24 or 32 DMX channels.This is one of the few devices that I've found which is switchable between 8 and 16-bit modes. 16-bit mode uses two DMX channels per output (16, 32, 48 or 64 depending upon the mode). Although seemingly wasteful of DMX addresses, this gives much, much smoother dimming of each output. Very slow fades are therefore possible with no noticeable stepping between levels, naturally the software or console will need to support 16-bit dimming. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) of the outputs is around 490Hz so there's no flickering evident as can happen with slower PWM.The built-in programs are good for testing that everything is connected and working correctly but a bit too limited for anything other than testing.All in all this is a very well built device and performs exactly as the instructions say it should. Highly recommended if you need high-powered dimming with options to control different voltage LED strips and a 16-bit mode.

These lighting controllers are very easy to set up and use. I like that you can change the bit rate between 8 and 16 and also use 5 to 24volt dc supplies, which is great for 12 or 24v LED strip.All outputs are on 5 way plugs and you have the choice of DMX jack or three wire connection for the DMX control signal.Good sturdy metal case with holed flanges to screw down.Have used over 10 of them with no reliability issues.

Had a problem with 2 channels on this box, would not give rgb

Generally great, dimming seems to judder a bit compared to other models I’ve used.

Instructions are rubbish, Cant find any help on this product. After wasting my time and money I now cant return it.

Works well. The only thing I don’t like is that it reverts to being ‘on’ all the time with no DMX signal. Dims okay at the low end for the price point.

Le décodeur fonctionne bien, même si je n'ai pas encore utilisé toutes les sorties simultanément. Evidemment, c'est un matériel qui demande des compétences techniques pour le programmer.

Not the best Decoder. Slow fading shows steps. Had to disconnect, Unit started smoking after a week. No internal fusing .

使えるのは4chのうち1chのみ最近amazonさんの商品外れ多い。3連続スカ。

Das ist der beste DMX Controller den man für so wenig Geld bekommen kann.Ich steuere mein ganzes Haus mit 2 Controllern. Das sind ca. 100 CCT Panel und Spots. Dazu noch einige RGBW Strips.

These decoders works great! They have really nice features and are super easy to use. I appreciate the LCD screen for addressing and changing the settings of the decoder. In addition, having a multitude of different testing modes built in is a huge plus. It’s great having 8bit and 16bit options as well as 2ch, 3ch and 4ch modes to boot. They don’t flicker, have 3pin dmx (which almost no decoders have) and when you realize you’re only paying about $10 per channel, you can’t go wrong really.Now.. the not so great part.The QC on this item is not so great. Out of the last 20 or so of these I’ve bought about 5-6 have been faulty. Some, would just stop working after a few hours of use, others refused to pass DMX, and some would just flat out not work.This can be fairly frustrating when your project deadline is right around the corner. But, you get what you pay for. When they work... they’re incredible. When you get a bad one.... well, it’s hard not to chuck it arose the room while swearing.So, here’s the bottom line...In my honest professional opinion these are great.They’re realitively cheap so buy extra knowing that a few in your batch are bound to be duds. Then, just send em back to amazon and get a refund.All in all, I’ll keep buying these; the price for what you get is just too good.
