Introduction 

Thank you for selecting City Theatrical’s SHoW DMX Three Channel Dimmer!  
 
Every effort has been made to anticipate your questions in this manual, but if you have 
any questions that are not answered here, or you want to discuss a special application, 
please feel free to contact us directly at City Theatrical.  The SHoW DMX System 
includes a wide range of products which you may review at our website 
(www.citytheatrical.com) or in our catalog.  For basic wireless operation, a minimum of 
one SHoW DMX Transmitter and one SHoW DMX Receiver is required.  SHoW DMX 3 
Channel Dimmers are fully RDM/DMX compliant wired devices and may also be used in 
conventional wired DMX or RDM/DMX systems.

 

 
The SHoW DMX Three Channel 10A Dimmer serves as a versatile lighting control 
module, providing three channels of 9-12VDC incandescent ISL and Linear dimming, 
Non Dim control, and RGB LED control in a single feature-packed unit.
