Flexible. Portable. Scalable.

Flexible.

The compact consoles run the same grandMA3 software as the bigger consoles - so there are no compromises in the feature set. Together with the powerful playback area and all connections directly on board, you get the full flexibility.

Portable.

The small form factor together with the foldable monitor wing provide an ideal setup for transport and touring. Wherever you go, the grandMA3 compact series delivers the freedom to create stunning looks with low space requirements.

Scalable.

The consoles are scalable up to 250 000 parameters with the use of additional grandMA3 processing units. Both models offer the full benefits of the grandMA3 system - from a standalone console, via simple backup up to the most complex multi-user environments.

Theatre

"For me, dimensions are important because sometimes we are in small theatres with an even smaller front of house - and then I am happy with the compact, because it fits almost everywhere."

Steven Bosmans, Freelance Lighting Technician

Concert Touring

"I think you have enough executor buttons and faders on that console to run shows with."

Randall Diagre, Operator/Lighting Designer

"... I go to theatres, small club shows, but also arena shows. The desk is going on tour, so pretty much everywhere actually."

Yann Windey,  Lighting and Stage Designer
