Mini 4CH DMX Digital Display Decoder, DMX512 Controller for RGBW LED Lights DC9-24V 4A/CH with 15 Built-in Effects (Mini 4 Channel with Display)

I obtained this for use in helping to diagnose problems with a middle school stage DMX system. We were able to show that the school's DMX controller was working, and that they had a problem with backstage power control equipment.

Functions perfectly!

I was very pleased with this purchase. I was looking for an inexpensive DMX controller so we could add an RGBW lighting strip to the drum cage at church. This was just what I needed. It looks very nice, and works just as expected. You can use the manual switches to test out your strip to make sure everything is working before you connect it to your DMX controller. I built a case for it to protect the connections and to mount the power supply on top to make a compact, self contained unit to put inside the drum cage. UPDATE: April 10, 2023. I purchased this decoder in Sept 2022, and we have been using it once a week in our church since sometime in October. It has worked well to control some RGBW LED strips in the Drum Cage. Unfortunately, on Easter Sunday (one of the busiest days of the year), this decoder would no longer allow us to change the colors of the LEDS....it is stuck on RED. The intensity works fine. I swapped it out with another DMX light fixture, which worked fine, so I know that it is a problem with this unit. The manual buttons allow us to set the different colors (H01, H02... etc), so I know our LED strip is still fine. I guess I will have to try another one since I have built a custom box for this model...I just hope it lasts more than 6 months of very light use!

As professionals who fabricate set pieces for live television shows and large-scale events, we rely heavily on LED strip lights to bring our builds to life. The AKEPO LED DMX 4CH Digital Display Decoder has become an indispensable part of our workflow, streamlining the integration of our lighting systems with unmatched efficiency. This decoder delivers a professional-grade solution for controlling RGB LED strip lights, offering seamless DMX512 compatibility. During installation, we simply connected the LED strips to the decoder, and the lighting designer plugged in a single DMX cable. Within minutes, they had full control over the entire setup, effortlessly adjusting color changes, dimming levels, and even individual channel controls from the lighting console. The device’s precision response to DMX signals is remarkable, with no noticeable delay, allowing for dynamic lighting effects to sync perfectly with the creative vision. What makes this unit a standout is its user-friendly 4-channel design combined with an intuitive digital display. This made addressing DMX channels and setting the decoder’s configuration an absolute breeze. Whether it was assigning individual strips to different DMX addresses or creating synchronized lighting effects, this unit handled everything flawlessly. The integration process was seamless, and the decoder performed flawlessly during our live productions. Our lighting designer particularly appreciated the hassle-free setup and immediate compatibility with their DMX control board. The ability to quickly connect and achieve full-spectrum lighting control saved us hours of programming time, allowing us to focus on refining the creative aspects of our build. The only downside was the lack of an included power cord, which required a separate purchase. While this was a minor inconvenience, it’s worth noting for anyone planning to order the unit. Once powered, however, the decoder delivered rock-solid performance and integrated effortlessly into our lighting rig. In short, the AKEPO LED DMX 4CH Decoder is a must-have for professionals who need reliable, high-performing DMX control for their LED strip light installations. Its robust design, flawless signal processing, and ease of use make it an invaluable tool for fabricators and lighting designers alike. Highly recommended!

Have a weird issue where the power cuts out when lights are connected to the last 4 ports. Using one 200 watt power supply to drive 80 watts of lights. On my voltage tester all the ports have power until one of the last 4 ports is plugged in with a light and then the voltage reads 0. Was great dimming for the first 4 ports but very confused by this current issue and not can't do my project that this was for.

I trust these in all my design work.

Muy bien el decoder cumple muy bien con lo que promete

Been using over 15 of these for over 5 years and have had no issues and have not had to replace a single one so far. I bought this model because I was looking to try one out without paying a high price. It works well for the LED strips that i am operating. Using to control RGBW LED strip lights in tandem with a number of other DMX controlled lights.

Power supply not included. Be sure you use LED strips that are 12v as the unit uses the same voltage/power supply as it uses to send power to the LED strip. (i.e. you can't power the decoder on a different power supply than the output.)

Na

I like to have little shows in my room and I had light strips so I bought this got some wires hooked it all up very easily and while you look at that.
