Frequently Asked Questions - Mad Moon Showtec
How do I connect the Showtec Mad Moon to a DMX controller?
Use a standard 3-pin XLR cable to connect the DMX input of the fixture to the controller. Set the DMX address using the DIP switches or menu on the device. Refer to the manual for channel mapping and addressing.
What is the best way to clean the Mad Moon?
Disconnect power and let the fixture cool. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or mild glass cleaner to wipe the lens and housing. Avoid abrasive materials or solvents. Clean the air vents with compressed air to prevent overheating.
Can I use the Mad Moon outdoors?
No, the Mad Moon has an IP20 rating and is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or dust may damage the fixture.
How do I set up sound-activated mode?
Press the menu button until you see 'Sound' or 'SND' on the display. Use the up/down buttons to select 'On' and confirm. The fixture will react to music via its built-in microphone. Adjust sensitivity if needed.
What should I do if the Mad Moon stops rotating?
Check if the fixture is in DMX mode with no signal or if the motor is stalled. Turn off power, wait 10 seconds, and restart. If the problem persists, inspect the mirror motor connection or contact Showtec support for replacement parts.
How many DMX channels does the Mad Moon use?
The Mad Moon can operate in 4-channel or 7-channel mode. In 4-channel mode: pan, tilt, color, strobe/speed. In 7-channel mode: additional fine control and functions. Selectable via the menu.
Can I mount the Mad Moon upside down?
Yes, the fixture can be mounted in any orientation using the included bracket. Ensure the safety cable is attached securely and the surface can support the weight (2.5 kg).
Why is the Mad Moon not responding to DMX?
Verify the DMX cable is properly connected and not damaged. Check that the DMX address matches the controller. Ensure the fixture is set to DMX mode and not standalone. Also check the terminator at the end of the DMX chain.
What type of LED does the Mad Moon use?
It uses a 10W RGBW LED that generates rich color mixing and white light. The LED is replaceable if needed.
How do I update the firmware on the Mad Moon?
