Rack-mount DMX512 node
MADRIX LUNA is a 19-inch rack device that distributes Art-Net or sACN data to 4, 8 or 16 DMX512 lines; with NEUTRIK XLR outputs and a fanless, silent metal housing, it is built for technical rooms.
Authorized dealer and solution partner
LUNA brings DMX distribution into the rack cabinet. In the control room, backstage or the building’s technical space, it sits in the same cabinet as the computer, network switch and amplifiers; the DMX lines to the luminaires leave from the XLR sockets on the front panel.
LUNA 4 and LUNA 8 are one rack unit high, LUNA 16 two. Each output carries one DMX universe; the 5-pin XLR input is used to bring a DMX console’s data into the system. In larger systems several LUNA units work on the same network, and with sync mode all universes are updated in the same frame.
Technical rooms are enclosed and dusty. A device with no fan that draws less than 5 W does not heat up, make noise or need maintenance. The metal housing and NEUTRIK connectors also stand up to cables that are frequently plugged and unplugged.
Highlights
Each XLR output is one DMX512 universe; three models to suit your needs.
LUNA 4 and 8 take one rack unit, LUNA 16 two; supplied with mounting ears fitted.
The low-consumption design does not heat up or make noise; durable metal housing.
5-pin XLR output and input, etherCON Ethernet socket.
With ArtSync, all ports and devices are updated in the same frame.
Console data from the 5-pin male XLR is brought into the system.
100–240 V AC with an IEC socket; no external adapter needed.
IP address and port settings from the browser; two Ethernet sources merge with HTP.

DMX512 and RDM nodeFAQ
If you can't find the answer to your question, write to our technical team; let's evaluate it together for your project.
Only the number of outputs and the height: LUNA 4 and LUNA 8 take one rack unit, LUNA 16 two. The software, settings and other features are the same; different models can be used together as the system grows.
LUNA is a DMX distribution node, not an RDM controller. If you want to configure and monitor luminaires remotely via RDM, choose STELLA or STELLA 8.
Yes. LUNA complies with the Art-Net and sACN standards and converts data from compatible consoles, software or players to DMX512.
LUNA is designed for a 19-inch rack and comes with ears fitted. If wall or in-panel installation is needed, the DIN-rail-mounted STELLA and STELLA 8 are more suitable.
