The Showtec Showmaster 24 MKII is a 24 channel DMX lighting control desk designed for users who need hands-on fader control, programmable scenes and reliable show playback in a compact hardware console. It provides a practical control solution for conventional dimmers, LED fixtures and simple DMX lighting rigs where a tactile desk is preferred over software-based control.
The desk can control 24 DMX channels from a single DMX universe. It can be operated as two banks of 12 faders or as one bank of 24 faders, giving users flexibility depending on the lighting setup and preferred workflow. This makes it useful for straightforward dimmer control, basic stage lighting, small venue rigs, theatre lighting, rehearsal spaces and multi-purpose lighting systems where direct channel access is important.
Programming capability includes 48 scenes and 48 chase programs, with each chase able to contain up to 999 steps. This allows users to store static looks, lighting states, colour changes and movement sequences, then recall them during a performance or event. The console can also run programs automatically or via internal or external music input, making it suitable for both structured playback and audio-triggered lighting operation.
The Showmaster 24 MKII also includes MIDI functionality, allowing lighting programs to be triggered as part of a wider real-time control setup. MIDI in and out connections are useful where lighting needs to interact with compatible controllers, sequencing equipment or show control workflows. This adds flexibility beyond basic manual operation while keeping the console approachable for users who prefer physical controls.
The control surface includes 29 faders and 44 buttons, giving users direct access to channels, scenes, chases and playback functions. Two independent continuous crossfaders are provided, supporting smoother transitions between programmed looks. A 3-digit LCD display gives clear feedback during operation, while LED indicators show operation mode, output level and signal status.
DMX output is provided on a 3-pin XLR connector, allowing the desk to connect directly into a standard DMX lighting chain. The unit also includes DMX inversion functionality, which can be useful when working with certain fixtures or control configurations. Power is supplied via a low-voltage DC plug from the included AC-DC adapter, with a 12V DC output and 6W power consumption.
The Showmaster 24 MKII is housed in a black and grey metal/plastic chassis and can be used as a desktop controller or rack-mounted in a 6U space. Side panels and a power adapter are included, allowing the console to be deployed as part of a fixed control position or portable lighting control setup. The IP20 rating means the desk is intended for indoor use only.
The console measures 530 x 330 x 150mm and weighs 4.8kg, making it compact enough for control desks, AV racks, lighting booths and portable production setups. Its physical fader layout makes it a straightforward option for users who want immediate control without relying on a computer, touchscreen or complex programming environment.
For customers looking for a traditional 24 channel DMX lighting console with scene storage, chase programming, MIDI control and sound-triggered playback, the Showtec Showmaster 24 MKII provides a practical and familiar control surface. With 48 scenes, 48 chases, 24 DMX channels, physical faders, crossfaders, 3-pin DMX output and 6U rack compatibility, it is a dependable choice for simple to mid-level lighting control applications.
