M-Live Lakyx L DMX Software, Interface

M-Live Lakyx L — Compact DMX Interface for Automated Live Light Shows

The M-Live Lakyx L is a hardware DMX interface that turns any B.Beat backing-track rig into a self-contained music-and-lighting playback system. This unit reads the audio in real time and generates a synchronised light show that follows the dynamics and structure of the song. It is the entry-level model in the Lakyx family, below the L1 (128 channels), L5 (512 channels) and L5W (512 wireless DMX) variants.

What Sets This Interface Apart

Unlike generic USB-DMX dongles that only pass through pre-programmed cues, this unit uses an onboard analysis algorithm to interpret the music and build a show that matches the song's style and evolution. A dedicated LINK button enables wireless pairing of multiple modules, while a hardware bypass routes the incoming DMX signal straight through to the output.

DMX Control and Signal Flow

The interface manages a complete DMX universe and supports both legacy DMX and ArtNet transport. Termination is handled internally on both XLR ports, removing the need for external terminator plugs in most setups.

• DMX Universe: 512 channels — full universe from one unit
• Protocol Support: DMX and ArtNet — wired or network transport
• DMX Connectors: 1× 3-pin XLR input, 1× 3-pin XLR output
• Internal Termination: 120 Ohm on both XLR ports — prevents signal reflection
• Hardware Bypass: DMX IN routed directly to DMX OUT

Host Connection and Power

A single USB-C cable links the unit to the B.Beat player, carrying both data and power so no separate PSU is needed on stage.

• Host Interface: USB-C — single-cable data and power link
• Pairing Control: LINK button — hardware pairing for wireless module linking

Physical Footprint and System Requirements

The enclosure fits next to a B.Beat on a pedalboard or in a side rack pocket. For larger rigs, a DMX splitter/repeater is recommended above 32 fixtures.

• Dimensions: 84 × 80 × 61 mm
• Weight: 170 g
• Recommended Splitter Use: DMX splitter/repeater above 32 fixtures
• Minimum System Requirements: 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended), 6 GB free disk space
