Multiverse® Studio Receiver

City Theatrical’s Multiverse® Studio Receiver brings the advanced features of the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM system to the film and video world, where fast setup and reliability are key objectives. The weather resistant Multiverse Studio Receiver contains a long-life lithium-ion polymer battery giving 20 hours of use. The Multiverse Studio Receiver has a full four button user interface with a backlit LED display that makes setup easy and gives feedback on system performance. Its case is IP61 rated plastic, making it splashproof and rainproof (but not for permanent outdoor use).

The DMX corded connector allows the Multiverse Studio Receiver and external antenna to hang below the lighting fixture, giving improved data fidelity. 

Multiverse Studio Receiver models include:

The Multiverse Studio Receiver 900MHz/2.4GHz (P/N 5904) contains two built-in radios, 2.4GHz (for worldwide use) and 900MHz (for use in the Americas only), which allow the user to select which single universe to receive, and which radio band to use via the Multiverse SHoW ID. (The 900MHz band is licensed for use in North America.)

The Multiverse Studio Receiver 2.4GHz (P/N 5905) contains a 2.4GHz radio, and allows the user to select which single universe to receive, and which radio band to use via the Multiverse SHoW ID. This model can be used worldwide.

Having that interactive screen on your device… I can see the radio signal, universe, and everything I need to know if I need to assess something quickly. All of that control at the electrician’s level has been a gamechanger. All the guys love it, and they reach for it.”
