This controller is easy to use and is designed to work seamlessly with lights from the leading brands such as Chauvet, American DJ and more! Our DMX controller is top quality and includes easy to understand instructions. This controller functions the same as the other leading brand controllers. With the Rockforce 192 you can control 12 lights with up to 16 channels per light. In addition there is a 4 bit LED display and built in microphone which can be used to set up automatic modes. A great function we would like to mention is that you can take the program from any light and easily assign it to another light. This added feature provides flexibility and will saves you a ton of time at your next gig! Although this controller has complex features we were able to design it with users of all experience levels in mind. This controller is so user friendly we gave it to some people who had little to no experience using lighting controllers and they were able to get the hang of it in no time.

Review: Makes a good static disply controller - The Rockforce 192 DMX lighting controller is an interesting mix of capabilities. It is minimalist in terms of layout, hardware, price, and programming. In terms of functionality it is just about the least expensive DMX controller out there that provides controlled step timing and cue fading. Like most 'smaller' DMX controllers it is squarely aimed at the 'DJ/Music' user. Yes it would be possible to run theatrical shows with it, but that is not really its forte. FInally, the documentation that comes with it is minimalist, but straight forward and easy for someone with a good working knowledge of DMX to grasp. That last point is important. This lighting controller will not 'do the hard work' for you... At all. You will need to know how DMX works, how your fixtures and effects respond to DMX commands, and how you want your various scenes to look ahead of time. You will need to coordinate the DMX addressing of each fixture/effect with the Rockforce controller's 'pre-patched' layout. You will need to write these things down as there are no 'planning' tools built in (It's all too easy to forget whether you put that set of waltze tempo scenes in bank 4 or bank 5 once you're a few hours into a setup. And God help you if you find yourself 'manual patching' more than one instrument into a given 'scanner' address range.). Writing it down is also the only way to put programming back in later if needed. Same goes for chase design. You will need a working knowledge of common music tempos and musical timing if coordinating cues to music. Personally I'd leave at least a week's worth of spare time to experiment and program with it before you go live. You'll want the fixtures you are goiong to be using 'on hand' when you do this programming. The hardware is... inexpensive. This is not necessarily 'bad' but does limit the usage cases a bit. For something like a fixed display or secondary 'house' controller that just cycles through a few standard looks and will only ever be expected to do that with minimal future reprogramming this thing is ideal. It would also make a nice inexpensive classroom aid for anyone out there teaching the very very basics of digital light control. If you have to reprogram it every night for a living? Not so fun. Nor would it do well in constant load-in, load-out, daily use with lots of 'on-the-fly' button mashing by an over-excited DJ. It is not designed to suffer the insults of frequent drops, confetti, spilled drinks, and cheese dust lightly. The only saving grace in these later cases is that the unit is inexpensive enough to keep a second unit on hand all programmed up and ready to go as a spare. This is a viable option, but potentially time comsuming in the programming department. About that: The one feature that I personally really wish this thing had is a way to transfer its setups to another unit or to and from some form of off-unit storage. Blue tooth and an app, or better yet, a USB port and a memory stick, or an SD card slot. (I personally don't like the idea of some script kiddie out there hijacking a blue tooth signal and ruining my show with no real chance for detection just by dinking on their cell phone. Nor do I relish the thought of all the training and third party apps I'd need to truly make such a blue tooth connection 'secure'.) Such a feature would make restoration of programming much faster and easier. It would also make switching to an on-hand spare unit a relatively fast and painles no-brainer that could be performed by minimally trained help or even just with some phone support (Remember those first two ideal usage cases...). My own experience is using these as 'static controllers' for a set of simple pre-programmed cues involving just two lights. For that specific use it is almost ideal in terms of functionality and price point and thus my 4 star rating. Had it had the ability to save and transfer programming it would have got 5 stars. But an important note: One would not have to stray too far from my usage to encounter a lesser rating. ## Features - PRECISE DMX CONTROL: Manage 192 channels across 12 scanners with 16 channels each, ideal for controlling lighting and fog effects in any venue. - CUSTOMIZABLE LIGHT SHOWS: Program 23 banks of 8 scenes for personalized, repeatable lighting sequences-great for DJs and event planners. - SOUND-ACTIVATED EFFECTS: Built-in microphone enables music-synced effects, delivering dynamic light shows with minimal setup. - USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE: 4-bit LED display and intuitive layout make navigation simple for beginners while supporting pro-level control. - UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with most DMX-512 lighting and fog systems, perfect for concerts, parties, and theatrical productions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D8NLPCX | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,434 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #81 in Stage Lights #2,316 in Music Recording Equipment | | Brand | Rockville | | Brand Name | Rockville | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 285 Reviews | | Included Components | ROCKFORCE 192 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 22"L x 7.4"W x 5.4"H | | Item Type Name | Channel Light/Fog DMX Lighting Controller | | Item Weight | 3.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Rockville | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Material Type | Metal, Plastic | | Model | ROCKFORCE 192 | | Part Number | ROCKFORCE 192 | | Product Dimensions | 22"L x 7.4"W x 5.4"H | | UPC | 819216021002 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 240 Volts (AC) | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Color:** Black - **Finish Type:** Powder Coated - **Light Source Type:** Light Emitting Diode - **Shade Material:** Metal - **Shape:** Rectangular ## Images ![Rockville ROCKFORCE 192-Channel DMX Lighting Controller, Sound-Activated, Programmable Scenes, LED Display, for DJs and Live Events - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rM7QKKGVS.jpg) ![Rockville ROCKFORCE 192-Channel DMX Lighting Controller, Sound-Activated, Programmable Scenes, LED Display, for DJs and Live Events - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+EK6E8naS.jpg) ![Rockville ROCKFORCE 192-Channel DMX Lighting Controller, Sound-Activated, Programmable Scenes, LED Display, for DJs and Live Events - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JIxyOKsOL.jpg) ![Rockville ROCKFORCE 192-Channel DMX Lighting Controller, Sound-Activated, Programmable Scenes, LED Display, for DJs and Live Events - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zl4t27SaL.jpg) ![Rockville ROCKFORCE 192-Channel DMX Lighting Controller, Sound-Activated, Programmable Scenes, LED Display, for DJs and Live Events - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WWJUZkgbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i use this controller to set up led pixels like ws2811** A: This is a DMX controller I would recommend if you are going to use pixel lights or pixel screens to use a computer-based software as it allows you to do much more and is more accurate. And whereas you're using individually addressable pixels you will not be able to get each address assigned correctly using this device you will need a pixel controller. Just do an Amazon search and you'll see a bunch of them come up there are different prices for different features you can get some for $10 or you could spend $300 it depends on what you're looking for personally I had a very bad experience with this device I wound up having to send it back because of a major malfunction within the circuitry. I did eventually purchase a American DJ DMX controller **Q: Could it transmit to donner dmx receivers?** A: Yes you can **Q: Is this rack mount able** A: It is rack mountable, fits a 19" rack, remove the plastic sides (held by 4 screws). It does not fit in a road case like the Harmony Cases HC19MIX04, The frame is just a little larger than other controllers and you can't put the lid on, but it will go on a rack, it has holes for it **Q: Trying to use this to program approx 6 lights for a spring musical on a small stage. Can I fade to black? Does this work for stage light?** A: I will try to answer... In manual mode yes you can fade to black, there is a fade time adjustment in the auto run but I haven't messed with it. If your Stage light set up is DMX addressable the answer is, Yes it will work provided you are addressed properly. Be sure to address you fixtures and program you scenes for the function you want. Lights that have different functions need to be separated in the addressing/Scenes . I hope this makes sense. Your manuals for the light fixtures and for the board will help with programing. it is not just plug and play. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can’t believe it’s so cheap! *by I***S on January 25, 2026* Insane fifty dollar board for churches!

Bought it for the price and name compared to the other 192 controller clones on the market. Obviously, DMX control can be difficult to learn but with a working knowledge of it this little controller has been great! I use it currently to control a Chauvet Gigbar 2 and 4 Hex Pars at a time for my Weddings and this thing has been a breeze to setup, program, and rock with. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rockville ROCKFORCE 192-Channel Light/Fog DMX Lighting Controller - Gearlux DMX Cable 25ft 3-Pin Male-to-Female - Single Pack - WorldLite 3.2ft DMX Cable, 10PCS 1 Meter DMX Signal Cables Signal Wires, 3-Pin XLR Male to Female Stage Light Signal Cable with Metal connectors, Connection for DMX512 Stage & DJ Lighting fixtures --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/88476307-rockville-rockforce-192-channel-dmx-lighting-controller-sound-activated-programmable](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/88476307-rockville-rockforce-192-channel-dmx-lighting-controller-sound-activated-programmable) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
