MA Lighting has expanded the grandMA3 ecosystem with the launch of the grandMA3 onPC DMX-key, a compact yet powerful solution designed to deliver professional lighting control in flexible, space-conscious environments. Built around the proven performance and reliability of the grandMA3 platform, the new DMX-key unlocks 4 096 parameters directly via a conventional USB-C connection to the free of charge grandMA3 onPC software, removing the need for dedicated lighting consoles or complex infrastructure while retaining full professional capability.

Designed for true plug-and-play operation, the grandMA3 onPC DMX-key requires neither configuration nor any networking setup. Users simply connect the device to a PC running the grandMA3 onPC software and are immediately ready to work, a simplicity that makes it particularly attractive for small venues, clubs, theatres, houses of worship and television studios where space, budget and ease of deployment are critical considerations. Despite its compact form factor, the DMX-key delivers the same dependable performance associated with the grandMA3 family, making professional-grade lighting control accessible in scenarios where traditional hardware may be impractical.

Beyond mobile and smaller-scale applications, the DMX-key is also positioned as a compelling option for system designers and integrators. Its compact design and robust feature set make it well suited to permanent installations across museums, theme parks, stadiums and architectural projects. Practical installation features include anti-slip strips on the underside and integrated guide rails with a matching screw set, enabling straightforward mounting within system racks or cases. With full access to the unrestricted grandMA3 onPC software, installations remain MA-ready, offering long-term flexibility, scalability and seamless compatibility with established professional workflows.

Alongside this release, MA Lighting has also announced the grandMA3 onPC DMX-key starter, positioned as an ideal entry point into the world of lighting control. This compact and affordable USB device unlocks the full potential of the free of charge grandMA3 onPC software, providing 1 024 parameters via two DMX outputs without compromising on features or functionality. Aimed at users taking their first steps into the MA Lighting universe, the DMX-key starter broadens access to the grandMA3 platform while maintaining a clear upgrade path within the ecosystem.

Together, the new grandMA3 onPC DMX-key and DMX-key starter reinforce MA Lighting’s strategy of extending professional lighting control beyond traditional consoles, delivering powerful, scalable solutions that adapt to an increasingly diverse range of production environments.
