Introduction

NTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Martin Freekie. This ruggedly built, easy to use

controller offers 12 fixture DMX control and multiple triggering options.

Freekie allows control of up to 12 fixtures (or fixture groups, where each fixture

group comprises similar fixtures that mimic each others’ behavior). Each fixture or

group is controlled with 12 channels. A joystick is provided for easy pan/tilt

adjustment. The Freekie can also control strobe and smoke fixtures. A master fader

allows you to instantly fade all fixtures, and there are multi-purpose buttons which

you can customize to control additional DMX units.

For audio-controlled shows there is the choice of either external signal input or the

Freekie's own internal microphone.
