MaestroDMX Pro

Hello MaestroDMX Team,

I’d love to submit a feature request for a professional rackmount version of the MaestroDMX controller, tentatively called MaestroDMX Pro.

The standard MaestroDMX is an excellent and intuitive controller, and I believe there is a strong opportunity for a Pro model designed for permanent installs, touring racks, and larger productions that require multiple universes and more robust physical connectivity.

Concept: MaestroDMX Pro (1RU Rackmount)

A 1RU rackmount unit with all the current MaestroDMX functionality, plus expanded output and professional connectors.

Core Features

• Multi-universe output via Art-Net and sACN
  
  • Support for multiple DMX universes over Ethernet
  • Ideal for medium to large lighting rigs and distributed DMX networks
• Rear panel professional I/O
  
  • DMX Output:
    
    • 1x 5-pin XLR DMX output
  • Network:
    
    • 2x EtherCON RJ45 ports
      
      • One for control/network access
      • One dedicated to Art-Net/sACN output
  • Audio Inputs:
    
    • 2x 3-pin XLR female connectors (stereo audio input)
  • Power:
    
    • PowerCON True1 input
• Rack-friendly design
  
  • All connectors on the rear panel
  • Clean front panel with branding and status LEDs
  • Designed to live permanently in a lighting or AV rack

Use Cases

• Schools and performance venues with installed lighting systems
• Touring rigs and portable show racks
• Productions requiring multiple DMX universes without external gateways
• Users who want MaestroDMX simplicity in a professional hardware format

This would allow MaestroDMX to scale from small setups into more demanding professional environments while preserving its greatest strength, which is ease of use and reliability.

I believe a MaestroDMX Pro would be extremely attractive to:

• Theatrical and live event professionals
• Educational institutions
• Houses of worship
• Small to mid-size production companies

Thank you for building such a great product and for considering this idea. I would be excited to see MaestroDMX expand into a Pro hardware platform.

Best regards
