Doug Fleenor Design Marconi TX – Wireless DMX Transmitter. 

The Marconi TX is a robust wireless DMX transmitter designed to send one full universe (512 channels) of DMX512 data to any number of W-DMX receivers, such as the Marconi LV or Marconi SP, in theatrical, architectural, and entertainment applications where cabling is impractical. Utilizing reliable 2.4 GHz W-DMX (Wireless DMX) technology, the Marconi TX provides interference-resistant transmission for controlling DMX-compatible devices like the Martin Atomic 3000, Elation Platinum Beam 5R Pro, or Antari AF-3X Fan. Its compact design, simple configuration, and line-voltage operation make it an ideal solution for professional stage setups, outdoor events, or permanent installations requiring cable-free DMX distribution. 

• Wireless Technology: Transmits 512 DMX channels (one universe) using W-DMX protocol on a 2.4 GHz frequency, with a range of up to 1500 feet (line-of-sight, depending on environment). Supports up to 16 transmitters in a single environment for multiple universes. 
• DMX Input: One 5-pin male XLR connector for receiving DMX512 input from controllers like the ETC Express 48/96 or CueServer Pro CS-800. 
• Indicators: 
  • Green LED for signal strength, indicating wireless transmission status. 
  • Red LED for DMX data, confirming active DMX input. 
  • Additional LEDs for power and configuration status.
• Antenna: 2 dBi omnidirectional antenna (optional high-gain antenna available for extended range). 
• Configuration: Simple push-button pairing with W-DMX receivers (e.g., Marconi LV), with channel selection to avoid interference in crowded RF environments. 
• Power: Line-voltage operation (100–240V AC, 50/60 Hz) via a Neutrik PowerCon connector, eliminating the need for an external low-voltage power supply (unlike the Marconi LV). 
• Construction: Compact aluminum enclosure (6.5” L x 2.5” W x 1.5” H) designed for truss mounting with rigging like the CM Lodestar 1/4-ton hoist or surface installation in control racks. 
• Applications: Ideal for temporary stage setups, outdoor events, theaters, nightclubs, or architectural installations requiring wireless DMX distribution to fixtures or effects. 
• Reliability Note: Doug Fleenor Design emphasizes that wired DMX is more reliable, but the Marconi TX offers a robust wireless alternative with W-DMX’s proven performance.
