Product Description
Overview
The KUPO CX-1 C is a portable DMX tester for checking synchronized DMX input and output signals in the field. It gives lighting technicians a compact battery-powered way to check a control line without bringing a full console, rack, or fixture chain into the troubleshooting process.
Why It Matters
DMX problems often appear during the least convenient part of load-in. CX-1 C gives the crew a handheld check point for signal presence and synchronization, with rechargeable battery operation, sleep behavior, and backlit LCD usability for dark backstage or dimmer-room work.

Frequently Asked Questions
