Mega-Lite Mega Console - 4-Universe DMX Lighting Console with 3 Built-in Platforms in Black Finish

The Mega-Lite Mega Console is a groundbreaking 4-universe DMX lighting console that combines three powerful control platforms-Lumen8, Enlighten, and Disco-into one integrated system. Designed to meet the needs of professionals across multiple industries, including production, theater, houses of worship, clubs, and event venues, the Mega Console offers unparalleled versatility, advanced functionality, and user-friendly controls for any lighting setup. With its multi-universe output via ArtNet, the Mega Console is capable of managing up to 24 universes, providing extensive control over both moving and static lights for large and complex lighting installations. The combination of three distinct control platforms allows users of varying skill levels and technical needs to operate the console efficiently, making it ideal for professionals and newcomers alike.

The Mega Console's standout feature is its inclusion of three unique control platforms in a single device, each catering to different operational requirements. The Lumen8 platform is tailored for advanced production and theatrical environments, providing powerful tools for creating complex lighting designs with fewer steps. Its streamlined workflow, customizable playback and programming views, dual screen support, and advanced FX engine make it perfect for large-scale shows requiring detailed cue management and intricate effects. Enlighten, on the other hand, offers a fully-featured but easy-to-learn interface, focused on simplifying common lighting tasks. Enlighten's ability to crossfade between video and lighting, combined with real-time effects and live programming capabilities, makes it suitable for dynamic, fast-paced environments like concert stages and events. The Disco platform is designed for smaller venues and those new to lighting control, offering a simplified introduction to DMX programming, with features like the Lighting Programmer Assistant and intuitive timeline-based control for pre-programmed shows.

The Lumen8 platform on the Mega Console provides an advanced lighting control experience with a focus on efficiency and flexibility. Its streamlined workflow reduces the number of steps required to achieve desired looks, while customizable playback and programming views allow users to arrange their workspace according to their preferences. The platform supports dual screens, offering detailed cue information and custom notes directly on the playback screen for easy reference during live performances. The built-in FX engine, with direct fader control, makes it easy to create visually stunning lighting effects, while custom fixture views, groups, and layouts allow for faster fixture selection and programming. Lumen8 also supports up to 24 universes via ArtNet, giving users the power to control large, complex lighting rigs with ease.

Enlighten is designed with user-friendliness and speed in mind, offering a quick learning curve while maintaining powerful control options. Users can create button groups with dimming group faders for organizing different looks, and crossfade between video (BMP, AVI, MPG, WMV, MOV & MP4) and lighting seamlessly. The platform includes advanced features like pan and tilt tracking, which ensures smoother transitions between moving looks, as well as real-time effects and built-in RGB FX. The Lighting Programmer Assistant helps users quickly produce multiple pages of looks based on user-defined parameters, speeding up the programming process. The platform also offers multi-universe output via ArtNet, making it perfect for medium to large lighting setups that require live programming and on-the-fly changes.

The Disco platform is focused on smaller to mid-sized venues and touch screen-oriented users, offering a simplified introduction to DMX control while maintaining a powerful feature set. The Lighting Programmer Assistant, shared with the Enlighten platform, allows users to quickly create multiple pages of looks based on pre-set parameters. Users can easily create synchronized timeline shows, control live performances from a DJ controller via wave file integration, and manage strobe-enabled fixtures with dedicated strobe functions. The Disco platform also includes a dedicated fog controller section with timing and burst options, as well as sound-active tempo integration via line audio input. With RGBWA matrix capability, MIDI-assignable sequence buttons, and simplified fixture profile building, the Disco platform provides robust control options for smaller venues without overwhelming the user.

All three platforms feature a built-in simplified 3D visualizer, allowing users to preview their lighting designs in real time before deploying them in a live environment. The console also includes a direct fader channel programming option for users who prefer manual control, and the multi-universe output ensures that large lighting systems can be managed seamlessly. The Mega Console offers extensive support and training from Mega-Lite's lighting control specialists, ensuring that users have access to technical assistance when needed, maximizing their experience with the console.

With its robust hardware, the Mega Console is designed to handle the demands of live events and production environments. It features a durable, truss-mountable housing and weighs 49 lbs, making it a sturdy, reliable option for both permanent and touring setups. The console is powered by a 120-240VAC 50/60Hz connection and consumes only 5 amps at 120V, ensuring efficient operation. Its compact dimensions (23 x 22.5 x 12.2 inches) make it portable and easy to integrate into any control booth or lighting rig.
