Mantra Lite
What You Imagine, You Create
The Mantra Lite is an award-winning lighting controller for LEDs, moving lights, and conventional dimming. Expandable by adding up to two wings, the Mantra Lite is ideally suited for all types of operators in small theatres, places of worship, and entertainment venues.
Combining the ease of use of a fader-based console with the power of a touch screen graphical user interface, the Mantra Lite ensures a very easy learning curve for even novice users. The software guides the user on what to do next, making operation intuitive.
Advanced Features for Power Users
Power users will appreciate the advanced features of the Mantra Lite, including:
- Ability to record up to 1,000 memories across 100 cue lists or chases.
- Playback of 10 cues simultaneously on the console, with each optional wing increasing this by 10 playbacks and 100 cue lists.
- DMX output available as sACN and/or Art-Net via an RJ45 connector.
Fixture Control
The Mantra Lite console supports 24 individual fixtures, each with a physical fader for intensity. Optional expansion wings provide an additional 12 fixtures, 10 playbacks, and an extra DMX output. By connecting up to two wings, users can control a total of 48 fixtures, 30 playbacks, and 3 universes of DMX.
User Interface
A large 18cm colour capacitive touch screen provides a powerful user interface, similar in operation to modern smartphones. This familiarity enhances the user experience.
Control colours (e.g., RGB, RGBAWUV, CMY, and colour wheels) via a simple colour picker app, use a trackpad for Pan and Tilt, and adjust other parameters with virtual sliders. This allows the Mantra to control not just colour, but all parameters of modern moving lights.
Animate Feature
The unique Animate feature offers a simple and intuitive way to quickly create chases and patterns in a single cue—usually within just a few seconds. This feature alone makes the Mantra the most powerful in its class.
Additional features include:
- Multiple Undo command system.
- Onboard Help menu for quick assistance.
- Built-in fixture template creator with unique live learning control.
- Fans for colour and position adjustments.
Modular Expansion
The optional USB-powered wing provides control of 12 more fixtures, 10 additional playbacks, and an extra DMX output. Connect two wings for a total of 48 fixtures, 30 playbacks, and 3 universes of DMX.
Power Supply Options
Two models are available: one with a built-in auto-ranging power supply (CE certified) and another with an external power pack (UL listed). The internal auto voltage mains power supply has an IEC connector (not applicable to UL version).
A mini UPS for auto show save on power loss ensures reliability during performances.
Connectivity
DMX output is available via a 5-pin XLR and Ethernet (Art-Net and/or sACN), making the Mantra Lite perfect for smaller venues such as schools and churches.
