American DJ DP-DMX20L 4-Channel DMX Dimmer Pack
4-Channel DMX Dimmer Pack with Edison Outputs
The American DJ DP-DMX20L is a 4-channel DMX dimmer pack designed for lighting control in stage, worship, mobile event, venue, and production environments. It gives lighting operators a compact way to control compatible par cans, effects lights, and other connected fixtures through independently assignable dimming or switching channels.
The DP-DMX20L features eight Edison sockets with two sockets per channel, allowing up to eight connected fixtures to be managed across four control channels. It supports selectable 1, 2, or 4 channel operation, includes a digital display for setting the starting DMX address and menu options, and provides 3-pin XLR DMX input and output for integration with a DMX controller.
For standalone use, the DP-DMX20L includes 16 built-in chases with adjustable speed and intensity settings, making it practical for simple automated lighting looks without a separate controller. It also includes an adjustable master dim level, four LED channel activity indicators, external channel fuses for quick replacement, and zero crossing circuitry for protection of transformer loads when switching.
With 5 amps per channel, a 15 amp maximum total load, 120 VAC power, and a reversible mounting panel, the DP-DMX20L is built for portable lighting rigs, truss-mounted setups, and installed systems that need straightforward DMX dimming and switching control.
