EUROLITE DMX Split/Boost 8 PRO Rack-Splitter 2in/8out with RDM and OLED display

The EUROLITE DMX Split/Boost 8 PRO Rack-Splitter 2in/8out with RDM and OLED display is a professional rack-mount device designed to distribute and amplify DMX512 control signals. It provides two input channels and eight electrically isolated outputs to protect downstream fixtures and maintain signal integrity across long cable runs. Equipped with RDM (Remote Device Management) compatibility and an OLED display, the unit supports remote configuration, status monitoring and simple local setup for live events, theatre, touring and fixed installations.

Advantages

This splitter offers eight isolated outputs that prevent ground loops and signal interference, improving reliability in complex lighting systems. The integrated signal booster ensures strong DMX levels over extended distances, while the RDM support enables two-way communication for device addressing and diagnostics. The OLED display provides clear local feedback for input selection, output status and basic configuration without requiring external tools.

Suitable for

• Live concerts and touring rigs requiring reliable DMX distribution
• Theatre and stage productions with multiple lighting circuits
• Fixed installations in clubs, houses of worship or corporate venues
• Rental companies and production houses that need robust, serviceable gear

When it may not be suitable

This unit is intended for professional DMX512 control and signal distribution; it is not a lighting controller or console. If you need a device to generate complex cues or scenes, a dedicated console or software controller is required. The splitter provides electrical isolation and boosting but does not convert protocols beyond DMX512/RDM.

Key specifications

• Form factor: Rack-mountable 19" compatible unit
• Inputs: 2 DMX512 inputs
• Outputs: 8 electrically isolated DMX512 outputs
• Protocol support: DMX512, RDM (Remote Device Management)
• Display: OLED for configuration and status readout
• Function: Signal splitting and line boosting for extended cable runs

How to use

Install the splitter into a standard 19" equipment rack and connect the DMX source(s) to the input connectors. Route each output to the corresponding lighting fixtures or distribution nodes using shielded DMX cables. Use the OLED display and front-panel controls to select input routing, check output activity and access RDM functions for device addressing or status queries. Ensure correct termination on the last device in each DMX run when required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm rack space and physical dimensions to ensure proper fit in your equipment rack.
• Verify that your lighting fixtures and controllers support DMX512 and, if needed, RDM functionality.
• Plan cable lengths and quality to take advantage of the unit's boosting capabilities.
• Check power requirements and available rack power distribution.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality shielded DMX cables, terminate the last fixture on each output leg when applicable, and keep data and mains cabling separated. Use RDM to remotely address and check connected devices during setup and maintenance to reduce on-site adjustments.
