MA Lighting grandMA3 Compact

This MA Lighting grandMA3 Compact console was primarily used for TV/Film & movie productions. It shows signs of wear but is in good working condition. An external monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a road case are included with this console.

The grandMA3 compact console is the smaller of the two compact models, offering the full system benefits of the grandMA3 system in a compact, lightweight format that is easier to transport and fit into tighter tech-table or on-set spaces.

Designed for Fast, Hands-On Programming

The compact console features a huge multi-touch monitor, 5 dual encoders, and a complete command section almost identical to the larger models, giving programmers familiar grandMA3 ergonomics in a smaller footprint. With 40 physical playbacks, 16 assignable x-keys, and a dedicated master playback section, it provides flexible control for cues, effects, and busking workflows without needing extra surface hardware.

Output, Networking, and Expandability

The grandMA3 compact console includes 4,096 control parameters (HTP/LTP) as standard, making it well-suited for small to medium professional entertainment lighting applications. For larger sessions, it supports real-time control for up to 250,000 parameters when used with additional grandMA3 processing units.

Connectivity is built for modern show networks and hybrid rigs, with 6 DMX outputs plus 1 DMX input, 3 etherCON connectors, and 5 USB connectors. An external multi-touch screen can also be connected for expanded workspace.
