Hire grandMA3 light for Your Next Production

The practical choice for professional grandMA3 control

If you're specifying a grandMA3 console for a production, the grandMA3 light deserves serious consideration. It's become the default choice for many lighting designers precisely because it provides comprehensive capabilities without excess. Here's why it might be right for your production, and what to expect when you hire from CEG.

Right-Sizing Your Console

Console selection should match production requirements. The grandMA3 full-size is magnificent, but for many productions, its capabilities exceed what's actually needed. The grandMA3 light delivers the same software environment in hardware that's appropriately scaled for typical professional requirements.

This isn't about settling for less - it's about choosing the right tool for the job. The grandMA3 light handles complex productions with ease while remaining practical for transport, setup, and operation.

grandMA3 Capabilities, Practical Package

Everything that makes grandMA3 special is present in the light console. The refined software interface, the powerful programming tools, the extensive network capabilities, the precise playback control - all available in a console that fits sensibly into real production environments.

The dual touchscreens provide ample display space for programming workflows. The motorised faders offer tactile playback control. The encoder section enables precise parameter adjustment. The hardware is genuinely professional without being unnecessarily large.

Comparing grandMA3 light to Alternatives

Within the grandMA3 range, the light sits between the compact and full-size models. It provides more physical controls than the compact while remaining more practical than the full-size. For most touring and event applications, this balance is ideal.

Compared to competing platforms, the grandMA3 light offers the MA workflow and ecosystem that many programmers prefer. If your team works on MA equipment, the grandMA3 light ensures familiar, efficient operation.

Practical Considerations

The grandMA3 light's size and weight make it practical for most transport and installation scenarios. It fits standard flight cases and doesn't require exceptional handling. For touring productions, this practicality has real value - it means simpler logistics and faster setup times.

The console's processing power handles typical production requirements directly. When shows scale larger, processing units expand capacity through the MA network. You're not locked into limitations - you're starting with a sensible baseline that can grow as needed.
