grandMA

The combination of well-established operating structures, phenomenal design and first-class quality packed with a host of fresh ideas and the latest technologies grants access to enthralling new dimensions. The grandMA offers an absolutely simple - almost perfect - control of extensive light shows with lots of channels and intelligent moving lights.

By no means is the grandMA any kind of substitute for one of the well - established MA boards. It rather embodies a next step in the continuous, future - oriented evolution towards the unlimited prospects of modern light design.

MA users will feel quite familiar with the grandMA right from the start. The basic procedures, known from the Scancommander, have proven to be the optimum solution for controlling intelligent moving lights - and, yes, have even become the standard for our industry. Obviously there have also been a number of changes - controlling a few hundred channels can't do without new intelligent solutions for all the individual, time-consuming operating steps. Basically, however, the grandMA still is a typical MA control board - easy to understand but nevertheless unbelievably poweful.
