Description
4 DMX universes from Art-Net or sACN, in a 19-inch rack housing
The MADRIX® LUNA 4 converts Art-Net, sACN or USB directly into DMX512 and outputs 4 universes via NEUTRIK XLR sockets, plus one DMX input. The metal housing takes up one rack unit in a 19-inch rack and works without a fan.
Is this right for my project?
What the LUNA is made for
- Connecting DMX fixtures, dimmers or pixel controllers with DMX input to an Art-Net or sACN network from the rack, 4 universes per device
- Stage, events and permanent installations: 5-pin XLR sockets, etherCON and mains connection via IEC power cord
- Operation with MADRIX 5, synchronised across all ports and several devices in sync mode
- According to the manufacturer also usable as a regular node with other consoles, controllers and software
- Silent continuous operation: fanless metal housing, power consumption below 5 W
Not suitable for
- More than 4 universes on one device: then the LUNA 8
- Setting up and monitoring fixtures via RDM: that is what the STELLA and the STELLA 8 with RDM are for
- Pixel LEDs directly without a DMX controller: the LUNA outputs DMX, not SPI pixel data; that is what the NEBULA is for
- DIN rail or outdoor mounting: 19-inch housing rated IP20
Good to know: the LUNA is powered directly with 100–240 V via the IEC inlet, the power cord is included. For operation with MADRIX 5 you need a licence on a MADRIX KEY.
4DMX outputs, 5-pin XLR
2,048DMX channels (4 universes)
1DMX input, 5-pin XLR
1U19-inch rack, fanless

Art-Net, sACN or USB in, DMX out
- Art-Net (I, II, 3, 4, including ArtSync) and sACN (E1.31) directly into DMX512
- 4 DMX outputs (5-pin XLR, female, NEUTRIK) and one DMX input (5-pin XLR, male)
- USB 2.0 (type B) for direct connection to MADRIX 5

Rack housing for continuous operation
- Metal housing 19 inch × 1U, rack ears already mounted
- Fanless and silent, power consumption below 5 W
- Network via NEUTRIK etherCON, automatic HTP merging of two Ethernet sources
Further key data
- Power: 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz, max. 0.4 A, IEC inlet (C14); power consumption below 5 W
- Network: 1 × RJ45 (NEUTRIK etherCON), Auto MDI-X, 10/100 Mbit/s, compatible with 1 Gbit/s networks; USB 2.0 type B
- Housing: 76 × 482.6 × 44 mm (19 inch × 1U), 1.3 kg, IP20, operation −10 °C to 60 °C
- Configuration via the built-in web configuration page; 6 status LEDs
Manufacturer data MADRIX.
Connection
Up and running in three steps
- Install and power. Screw the LUNA into the 19-inch rack and connect it to the mains with the IEC power cord.
- Connect DMX. The DMX cables of your fixtures to the 5-pin XLR outputs, the network to the etherCON socket.
- Set up. On the web configuration page assign a universe to each port, then send Art-Net or sACN or connect MADRIX 5 via USB.
The LUNA outputs DMX, not SPI pixel data. Pixel LEDs need a DMX-capable pixel controller behind it.
Scope of delivery
- MADRIX LUNA 4
- Power cord (IEC C13)
- USB 2.0 cable
- 2 rack ears (already mounted)
- Technical manual / quick start guide
Frequently asked questions
Does the LUNA also work without MADRIX?
Yes. According to the manufacturer it complies with the official protocol specifications and can be used as a regular node with other consoles, controllers and software.
Do I need a power supply?
No. The LUNA is powered directly with 100–240 V AC via the IEC inlet, the power cord is included.
How do LUNA 4, 8 and 16 differ?
In the number of DMX outputs: 4, 8 or 16. The LUNA 16 takes up two rack units instead of one. DMX input, network, USB and functions are the same on all of them.
Which connectors does the LUNA have?
5-pin NEUTRIK XLR for DMX, a NEUTRIK etherCON socket for the network, USB 2.0 type B and an IEC inlet for power.
