MA Lighting: 100 grandMA micros sold

Germany - MA Lighting has announced that in the four months since the first grandMA micro lighting console was delivered in April this year, more than 100 consoles have been sold. The console with serial number 100 is in use in Italy, purchased by Gmep-Molpass. MA Lighting director Michael Adenau says: "At the moment the grandMA micro is the most compact console on the market. It relies on the software platform of the award-winning grandMA range, which means that it is compatible with the show files of the other grandMA consoles."

The grandMA micro can control 1024 parameters for dimmer channels and moving lights as well as LEDs, effects and video. The configurable colour TFT touchscreen and the digital encoders are only a few of the convincing features of the console. The operating philosophy of all grandMA lighting desks is the same, so that the orientation for the user is very easy. Moreover, the grandMA micro offers a divided DMX input, and MIDI and analogue inputs. Although it has limited network functionality, it can be used for more complex shows and upgrades include timecode control. In addition the grandMA micro can be controlled via the grandMA remote or even a pocket PC. For real-time visualization of the show the console can be connected to a PC with the freely available grandMA 3D program.
