1. Introduction
The grandMA2 represents MA Lighting’s most powerful console and offers the control of conventional light, moving
lights, LED fixtures and media from one platform.
Equipped with the most up-to-date technology and even some special features (e.g., keyboard drawer and multi-
touch command screen), the grandMA2 is suitable for all lighting segments. It supplies an intuitive and fast control of
all connected fixtures and channels. Furthermore, the grandMA2 fader wing provides up to 60 extra motorized
executor faders for an almost unlimited number of pages.
Moreover, grandMA series 1-showfiles can be converted to be used with the grandMA2. And for yet easier operation,
all command keys can be found in the same place on every console of the grandMA2 series. The grandMA2 offers
extremely flexible and comfortable ways of programming, including nearly infinite numbers of presets, cues, pages,
sequences and effects.
All grandMA2 consoles are optionally available as Silent Version with optimized fan for noise-sensitive environments.
