By creating a simple and straightforward user experience, the wireless ColorSource Relay Multiverse Receiver makes your show setup and teardown nearly effortless. The ColorSource Relay receives wireless DMX signals and automatically enables power switching and DMX for up to 16 amps of power. After you turn off your DMX controller – such as your lighting console – the ColorSource waits several seconds before automatically turning off all connected devices.

The wireless City Theatrical Multiverse® SHoW Baby is an essential part of the ColorSource Relay system*. The Multiverse SHoW Baby connects to hard-wired DMX and automatically sends wireless DMX to any ColorSource Relay Multiverse Receiver within a 328-foot (100-meter) range. Both the Multiverse SHoW Baby and ColorSource Relay require minimal setup and zero programming before use. Simply take them out of the box, plug them in and your new relay system is fully operational!
