Perfect for mid-level lighting control.

The Magic 260 is a 19" rackmountable DMX controller from Elation Professional that's perfect for neighborhood clubs, discos, and professional DJs.

With 260 DMX channels, the Magic 260 can control up to 48 DMX-compatible moving lights. It can store up to 24 x 48 scenes and 264 shows.

The Magic 260 is ideal for lighting operators who don't need a big console like the Show Designer 1 or 2, but want something larger than a basic 8 or 12-fixture unit, and with more features.

It comes equipped with a large library of pre-installed profiles for Elation Professional and American DJ moving light fixtures plus other brand name lighting fixtures so users don't have to spend time programming their own.

Users will be able to control non-DMX fixtures with the Magic 260 too. The unit features 4 On/Off auxiliary switches specifically for this purpose. Non-DMX lights can be connected to a power pack, run through the line, and turned on and off with one of the 4 auxiliary switches.

Another really unique feature on the Magic 260 is a Help Button that guides users step-by-step through the process of recording scenes and shows.

3rd time is a charm.....

I own an Elation DMX programmer, a Chauvet DMX-50 and the Elation 260. The 260 is without a doubt the better of the three products.

Pros: finally a user manual that makes sense. easy to program after reading the manual. can be programmed to meet many different needs.

Cons: Dials take a little getting used to. Internal Mic isn't that good. expensive.

Here is my story. I'm the bass player in a band. I needed a light controller that would handle intelligent lighting as well as Par Cans. The internal mics of all the lighting controllers flat did not work - too sensative, picked up everything. My way around this was to purchase an XLR - RCA adapter and an XLR volume controll. Now I can program my light show and have had success in the shows appearance.

Bottom Line: If you are a DJ and wanting a board that will give you unlimited programability - here it is. If you are a musician that is wanting a complex light show - here it is. If you are a DJ or musician that is budget minded, attempting to make a simple light show (par cans only) look else where. It's to expensive for that. It's a great board and has many good features, but its not for the person who just wants flashing lights.

An Unbeatable Value!

This little controller is great. You won't find another with the same features and capabilities at this price point. I will say that programming does take a little bit of learning (and the manual was written by a 3rd grader), but after it is learned, you will have soooo much fun with this thing. I use it for theatrical productions, and even with all of our lights, we don't fill up the 260 DMX channels. Another cool feature is the audio input where you can sync the lights to music. Very cool. If you have a limited budget and are looking for a GREAT controller, don't ask questions... just buy!!!

Best Bang For The Buck

I own a Magic 260 and cannot say enough about it! I have operated numerous lighting boards including the Show Designer 3 and for the money size and capabilities this unit is well worth the money. I would highly recommend it to anybody who wants to buy one board and have lots of use out of it for years to come. About the only downfall I could see with the board is the choice of knobs for programing as opposed to slide controls. However the pots are far more robust than the slide controls which I have found have broken off with use over time.
