DMX Wall Stations | Master Station
$199.95
The Easiest Way To Control Your DMX Fixtures!
The Springtree DMX Wall Station is a self-contained DMX Controller that looks and operates like a light switch. It is wall mountable, for easy everyday access! It receives and sends out DMX data, allowing you to preset 8 scenes with built-in fade times. It is the master controller, and can be operated alone after programmed. It can also be expanded to up to 5 additional satellite stations!
Satellite Stations (The SS-8) need a master Wall Station (SM-8) to operate. They easily connect to your SM-8 through an affordable and easy to run Cat-5 cable. The SS-8RC is a remote control Satellite Station with a 50-foot range.

How it Works
Why Purchase A Wall Station?
The best thing about our wall stations is how easy they are to install! Using satellite stations is as easy as running Cat5, which is more affordable than DMX cables. This allows you to put multiple control points around a venue without breaking the bank. One master station can be used with up to 5 satellite stations. Other popular control stations on the market use radio frequency, which is convenient when it works, but unreliable when used in facilities (like schools) that have cinder block walls. Cat5 is more reliable, and works in any location!
Also check out: Our DESK STATIONS are the simplest every day control option on the market! No installation needed. You just add it between your lighting console and your lights. It can even sit right next to your console!
We offer great customer service when issues arise, and for installation questions.

SM-8 WALL PANEL
I installed this unit in a local bar and they love it. Having a stage lighting background i was able to program the unit from home and then wire it into their system. It is one of the easiest units I've worked with that has the most flexibility the only thing that would make it better is if it had a dedicated off switch since the venue wanted a dedicated off button, Bottom line i will be buying more of these units when i have more installs.

SM-8 WALL CONTROL
We needed some way of controlling the house lights coming in to a black room as all lighting is controlled through the lighting console. It worked great, My only negative is I wish it would fit in a standard LV 1 or equivalent, but that is minor. Great product.

COULDN’T BE EASIER!!
We have one Master and two slaves and it works perfectly. Couldn’t be easier to install. However be sure to ground each station…they do not like static electricity.

EXCELLENT SOLUTION!
Having recently upgraded to LED houselight fixtures in our small theatre, the installer did not provide any remote control ability for every day users such as office staff, cleaning crews, or rehearsal sessions. After an extensive on-line search, it became obvious that the SM-8 and a couple of SS-8s would provide an valid, economical and excellent system. The stuff shipped promptly, but arrived about a week later than expected, due a FedEx issue – not Springtree’s fault at all. Installation was straightforward and relatively simple – DMX, Cat 5, and power for the SM-8, and everything else is simply topology-free Cat 5. These devices fit rather snugly in the specified electrical boxes, but worked out well. (It is well worth mentioning here that customer service at Springtree was beyond exceptional!) After some minor issues with programming (because I’m an old-school-analogue guy), I called Springtree, and immediately talked to a real person, never put on hold or redirected, and he patiently helped me work through my problems – that are now seemingly simple, of course. That kind of support is rare these days and most appreciated!! As we simply needed “On/Off” control for our houselights, this 8-channel (scene) system is probably a little “overkill” for our particular installation, but is worth every penny! The DMX over-ride from the console works exactly as described, and the devices all function flawlessly, and the adjustable fade-times is a nice feature. It should be noted however, that once the console is powered off (DMX loss), the SM-8 will default to Scene 1. Certainly not a big issue – it has to default to somewhere, so I simply left Scene 1 as a blackout. I cannot fairly attest to their long-term reliabilty, as the system has only been in use a few weeks, but they seem sturdily built and should last many years. If you are looking for a relatively simple, economical, and dependable system, with exceptional customer support, for wired DMX remote operation, look no further than these little devices – I can assure you, they won’t disappoint! 5 Stars +++ !

Just what I was looking for!
We redid our light system in our church recently, (entire new dimming system) making our old architectural switches obsolete and unusable. I was racking my brain trying to decide how to make things work in the new space and I stumbled upon your product. It was much more affordable than any other options I found.
Delivery was prompt, installation instructions were easy to follow and programming it couldn’t be simpler. The white color option looks nice and clean in our space as well. I bought a master controller which I installed next to my light control board in the sound booth and connected a slave controller near the room entrance for instant control upon entering the room.
The lockout feature when the board is running lighting cues worked exactly as I had hoped.

This thing really is a fantastic solution for churches or schools where DMX lighting needs to be useable by those who may not be familiar with lighting controllers. For our application in a church, we use a software controller on an iMac. This required someone to log on and know how to use the software to turn on our preset scenes. The SM8 is a great solution for that problem, because it allows anyone to recall a DMX preset when the console is off. A word of advice – if you’re using a computer to control your lights, there’s a good chance that the DMX signal will be on constantly since USB to DMX adapters are usually powered by the USB ports on the computer. SpringTree makes a switch for this reason – I just didn’t think to order it with the SM8 initially. I haven’t hooked up the satellite station yet, but look forward to that functionality!
