Thank you for selecting the Martin Freekie. This ruggedly built, easy to use
controller offers 12 fixture DMX control and multiple triggering options.
Freekie allows control of up to 12 fixtures (or fixture groups, where each fixture
group comprises similar fixtures that mimic each others' behavior). Each fixture or
group is controlled with 12 channels. A joystick is provided for easy pan/tilt
adjustment. The Freekie can also control strobe and smoke fixtures. A master fader
allows you to instantly fade all fixtures, and there are multi-purpose buttons which
you can customize to control additional DMX units.
For audio-controlled shows there is the choice of either external signal input or the
Freekie's own internal microphone.
