Miro Cube®
Rosco's innovative Miro Cube series of LED wash lights packs 50 watts
outputting more than 3400 lumens into a compact and portable 4 inch
cube! The sleek yet rugged, geometric design of the Miro Cube is
perfectly at home in museums, on track light systems, in stores and lobbies
or built into sets, truss and lighting rigs of all styles.
These luminaires oer the flexibility and versatility needed for any type of
lighting challenge. No expensive external power supply or ballast is
required, the Miro Cube plugs directly into the wall anywhere in the
world, automatically adjusting to mains power from 90-240vAC 50-60hz.
Drawing less than 1 amp of current, more than 40 Miro Cubes can be
plugged into a single 20A circuit!
An intuitive LCD control panel sets virtually every aspect of the lights
including a master-slave configuration for fast lighting set-ups. Completely
flicker free dimming is available via DMX (in 8 or 16 bit resolution).

Product Description
06
Mounting these compact 4 inch cubes is limited only by the imagination of
the installer. The novel through bolted yoke design allows units to be easily
ganged into multi-unit strips and arrays for greater output and coverage.
Weighing just 2-1/2 pounds, the Miro Cube can be attached to standard
architectural lighting track using accessory track adapters. For the easiest
track installation, use our DMX track and pass DMX to all the
luminaires on the track without cable jumpers.
Available in versions that oer full color mixing, tunable color temperature
white light, or high powered ultra-violet light for stunning black-light
eects, the Miro Cube luminaires are the smallest, most feature packed
and aordable, professional grade LED wash lights on the market.

Miro Cube 4C/4CA

From walls to washes to uplighters, the
Miro Cube 4C/4CA color mixing wash light
oers a designer maximum creativity in a
tiny package. The best-in-class quad-chip
emitters inside the Miro Cube RGBW 4C
and the RGBA 4CA produce a gorgeous
palette of saturated, mid-tone and pale tint
colors. The 4C and 4CA can also mix an
attractive, full spectrum white light in warm and cool color
temperatures - not the unflattering compromise found in other
color-mixing LED lights.
The Miro Cube 4CA features a unique, phosphor-converted amber
emitter – not found in any other RGBA fixture this size. This enables it
to produce an expanded palette of saturated colors and rich,
warm-tones of full-spectrum white light.
Smart programming in the Miro Cube 4C/4CA includes a stand-alone
color wash mode or allows multiple units to be easily slaved together,
synchronized and oset using self-generated DMX for color chases
and other dynamic lighting patterns without a console. Use it alone,
configured in strips & arrays or built-in for virtually any application
needing colored light - from stage, studios and location, bars and
casinos, to stores, windows and lobbies.

Size matters. But quality of light matters
more! The Miro Cube WNC/3W embodies
what every lighting professional needs - a
bright, tunable, beautiful white light. Using
12 high quality Cree XML 4W emitters, the
Miro WNC outputs 3400 lumens and can
adjust from 2700K to 6500K. A mix of warm,
neutral and cool LEDs insure excellent
rendering across all color temperatures making it perfect for use on
TV or film sets, in retail lighting, museums, architecture, photogra-
phy studios or any white light application.
A 3W option provides a fixed 2700K color temperature popular with
many hospitality venues.

Miro Cube UV365
13
WARNING: Do not look directly into the UV light during operation. Eye
and skin exposure to UV light can cause severe damage to humans and
animals. Take every precaution to limit exposure to UV light (including
the use of UV-blocking eye protection).
Ideally suited for theme parks, night clubs,
casinos, museums and stage applications,
Miro Cube UV365 is the smallest, most
aordable high powered UV light available
to lighting professionals. Drawing just 50
watts, it outperforms conventional long
throw fixtures using 5 times the power,
weighing 10 times more, and which need
an expensive lamp change every 1000 hours! The fixture allows for full
speed 8 and 16 bit DMX dimming and standalone control (without a
DMX source) via a rear mounted full text LCD display.

DMX Mode
In DMX mode, the unit is controlled by the data it receives on the 5-pin
XLR or RJ45 (ARC) connectors located on the rear panel. The number of
DMX channels required to control the fixture is dependent on the
factory setting in use. See pg. 19 for Miro Cube DMX channels.
NOTE: A three pin to five pin XLR adapter may be used with
the fixture

Universe1 or Universe2
The Miro Cube can be controlled via two unique DMX universes. DMX can
be input on pins 2&3 (Universe1) or pins 4&5 (Universe2) via the 5 pin XLR
connectors on the rear panel. This allows two complete universes of DMX to
be transmitted on a single cable.

press MENU until “SET TO UNIVERSE 2?” or “SET TO UNIVERSE 1?”
appears on the LCD, then press OK

Filament Fade:
An incandescent lamp has a slight delay, or lag with changing
intensities, whereas an LED responds instantly. The dierence is most
noticeable during a theatrical black out. The Miro Cube can emulate
an incandescent lamp by selecting one of the Tungsten Fade settings.
To change the Tungsten Fade setting, press MENU until “CHANGE
FILAMNT FADE?” appears on the screen, and press OK. Select from
“OFF”, “1 (MIN)”, “2 (MID)” or ”3 (MAX)” using the or
keys, and press OK. A setting of “3 (MAX)” provides the greatest
delay. A setting of “0” will turn the Filament Fade o, and allowthe
LEDs to respond instantly to changing DMX input.
The fixture can run in either 8 bit or 16 bit DMX mode. In 8 bit mode,
the Miro Cube accepts one DMX channel for each color. In 16 bit
mode, two channels are required for each color. To change from 8 bit
to 16 bit mode (or from 16 bit to 8 bit) press MENU until “SET TO 16BIT
DMX?” or “SET TO 8BIT DMX?” appears on the LCD, then press OK.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT ANY MIRO CUBE IN MANUAL
MODE TO ANY OTHER DMX SENDING DEVICE AS CONTENTION
ON THE DMX512 INPUT WILL RESULT.
In Manual Mode, the Miro Cube can be controlled directly from its
rear panel without the need of a DMX console or a DMX control
device. Standalone control capabilities vary according to the factory
setting in use (Four Color, Three Color, or One Color). Factory settings
are password protected but can be adjusted. Contact the
manufacturer for more information.
(All standalone, DMX address and configuration settings are
non-volatile, meaning they will not change if power is lost or
switched o and restored. When set to manual mode, the Miro
Cube operates as a DMX Master and is sending DMX512 data.)
