ADJ LINK 4-Universe iPad DMX Controller

The ADJ LIN556 is a four-universe DMX controller that teams with an iPad to give you hands-on control of your lighting rig. Once the iPad runs the free Airstream DMX LINK app, you can drive up to four DMX universes through either the hard-wired five-pin XLR outputs or the unit’s self-contained Wi-Fi access point that operates on 2.4 or 5 GHz using DSSS technology. This dual option lets you choose the most reliable connection for a club installation, a touring setup, or a one-off event.

The surface provides six assignable buttons for quick actions, eight faders for intensity or parameter control, sixteen page playback buttons for fast cue access, and four rotary encoder wheels that make fine adjustments feel effortless. Each control is mapped by the app, so you can customize the layout to match the fixtures in your show.

ADJ designed the hardware for real-world stages. A removable outer shell allows 6U rack mounting when you want the controller safely housed in an equipment rack, yet it lifts out easily for desktop use. A front-panel USB port powers a gooseneck work light, and a Kensington slot helps secure the unit in public venues.

The combination of wireless iPad freedom and physical controls makes the LINK ideal for mobile DJs who need to walk the room, rental companies that supply quick-to-learn gear, houses of worship that rely on volunteers, and small theaters that require flexible yet compact control. Wherever a balanced mix of mobility and tactile feedback is needed, the LIN556 fits naturally.
