In combination with the free grandMA2 onPC software, MA 8Port Node onPC and MA 4Port Node onPC each provide 2,048 parameters. In addition, MA 8Port Node onPC and MA 4Port Node onPC can be combined with the MA onPC command wing and the MA onPC fader wing for parameter extension.
Both products are designed for everyday use on tours, but also for installations and are therefore equipped with a robust steel housing. In addition to a menu button, the front panel also features a USB connection, a 2" TFT display and status LEDs for quick and easy configuration. On the back of the device are the main switch, one powerCON and etherCON connector and eight (MA 8Port Node onPC) or four (MA 4Port Node onPC) DMX connectors. Both MA 8Port Node onPC and MA 4Port Node onPC can be fully configured via a grandMA2 console or grandMA2 onPC. The MA xPort Nodes and the MA xPort Nodes WM are also available as powerful network components for signal transmission and data distribution.
The standard version of the MA 4Port Node is available in a 9"/1U housing with the connections on the rear. With the help of a special installation kit, this version can also be installed in a 19" rack. In addition, a panel is available which has all rear connections of the MA 4Port Node and can be placed on its side. In this way, the connections are also accessible from the front when installing the MA 4Port Node in the rack. Another option is to connect two MA 4Port Nodes with each other via special fasteners and thus install them in a 19" rack. Finally, the devices can be rigged using couplers or hooks.
