XXA-AN804PRO 1U Rack-Mount ArtNet LED Controller – 8 Ports, 680 Pixels/Port, Electrical Isolation — Buyer Guide

XXA-AN804PRO 1U Rack-Mount ArtNet LED Controller – 8 Ports, 680 Pixels/Port, Electrical Isolation

The XXA-AN804PRO is a 1U rack-mount 8-port ArtNet LED controller built for professional lighting installations. Each port drives up to 680 pixels, giving a total capacity of 5,440 pixels across the unit. With full electrical isolation, 200-meter remote transmission, and support for ArtNet, DMX, and sACN, it is designed for stage, concert, and architectural lighting projects where reliability and flexible integration matter.

Eight Independent Output Ports with High Pixel Capacity

The controller provides eight independent output ports, each supporting up to 680 pixels — a total of 5,440 pixels. This port density allows large LED fixtures and multi-zone installations to be driven from a single rack-mounted unit, reducing the amount of hardware needed in the signal chain.

• 8 independent output ports
• Up to 680 pixels per port
• 5,440 pixels total capacity

1U Rack-Mountable Chassis for Professional Installations

The XXA-AN804PRO uses a standard 19-inch 1U rack-mountable chassis measuring 483×163×44mm. This form factor fits standard equipment racks, making it suitable for fixed installations, touring racks, and control rooms where space and organization are priorities.

• Standard 19-inch rack size
• 483×163×44mm dimensions
• 1U height for efficient rack use

Three Control Modes: ArtNet, DMX, and sACN

The controller supports ArtNet, DMX, and sACN (Streaming ACN), giving integrators flexibility in how the unit is addressed and integrated into existing control systems. This multi-protocol support helps the controller fit into a wide range of network and console-based workflows.

• ArtNet support
• DMX support
• sACN (Streaming ACN) support

100% Electrical Isolation Across All Ports

All input and output ports are electrically isolated. If a fault occurs on one port, it will not affect the other ports. This isolation improves system stability and simplifies troubleshooting in large installations where a single fault could otherwise disrupt multiple outputs.

• Full isolation on all input/output ports
• Fault on one port does not affect others
• Improved reliability in multi-port setups

Long-Distance Transmission up to 200 Meters

Using SPI+485 remote transmission, the controller supports signal runs of up to 200 meters. This extended transmission distance helps reduce the need for additional signal boosters or repeaters in larger venues and architectural installations.

• SPI+485 remote transmission
• Up to 200 meters transmission distance
• Suitable for large venues and distributed layouts

SD Card Offline Playback with Built-In Effects

The XXA-AN804PRO includes SD card offline playback, allowing effects to be recorded and played back without a live controller or computer. It also includes 31 built-in effects, which is useful for standalone operation, testing, or backup playback scenarios.

• SD card offline playback
• Record and play back effects
• 31 built-in effects

DMX Channel Expander and Console Compatibility

The unit can be expanded to 8 DMX512 outputs with a total of 4096 channels, functioning as a DMX channel expander. It supports Tiger Touch, GrandMA, and other DMX consoles via DMX expansion, making it compatible with common professional control platforms.

• Expandable to 8 DMX512 outputs
• 4096 total channels
• Supports Tiger Touch, GrandMA, and other DMX consoles

Broad Software Support

The controller is compatible with Mad-show, Madrix, Mad-mapper, and Resolume. This software support allows it to integrate into established pixel mapping and media server workflows used in stage, concert, and architectural lighting.

• Compatible with Mad-show
• Compatible with Madrix
• Compatible with Mad-mapper
• Compatible with Resolume

Neutrik XLR Ports for Reliable DMX Connections

All DMX ports are equipped with 3-pin Neutrik XLR connectors, with 5-pin customizable options available. Neutrik connectors are widely used in professional lighting for their locking mechanism and durability in touring and fixed installation environments.

• 3-pin Neutrik XLR on all DMX ports
• 5-pin customizable
• Professional-grade connectivity

Summary

The XXA-AN804PRO combines 8-port ArtNet control, 680 pixels per port, full electrical isolation, 200-meter transmission, and multi-protocol support in a 1U rack-mount chassis. With SD card offline playback, DMX expansion, broad software compatibility, and Neutrik XLR ports, it is positioned for stage, concert, and architectural lighting projects.
