From the Manufacturer:

The Aria X2 IPH is a versatile single-universe DMX solution featuring Sub-GHz, 2.4 GHz WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity. Easily configure via our Aria X2 intuitive mobile app or onboard front panel. Seamlessly operates as either Wireless-to-DMX or DMX-to-Wireless transceiver.

Engineered for reliability, flexibility, and performance, the Aria X2 IPH is the next-generation wireless DMX gateway for demanding lighting environments. Designed to operate seamlessly across multiple wireless technologies, it bridges the gap between traditional wired DMX and modern wireless control, enabling a streamlined and robust lighting workflow—whether you're in a studio, on stage, or in a harsh outdoor setting.

Unmatched Wireless Versatility

The Aria X2 IPH supports a single DMX universe and delivers cutting-edge wireless performance with Sub-GHz and 2.4GHz radio support, WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.2 BLE capabilities. Whether you’re transmitting DMX data wirelessly to fixtures or receiving it from a wireless controller, the X2 IPH handles DMX to wireless and wireless to DMX translation with ease. Its proprietary 802.15.4 and Aria X2 Mesh protocols ensure robust, interference-resilient communication across long distances and complex environments. This unit is also fully configurable via a user-friendly mobile app or its front panel digital screen and rotary knob, giving technicians intuitive control no matter the setup.

Comprehensive Protocol Support

Stay ahead of the curve with broad protocol support:

• DMX (RDM support coming soon)
• Aria X2 Mesh Protocol
• Proprietary 802.15.4
• Bluetooth 5.2 BLE
• Aria X2 Serial Protocol – designed specifically for communicating with supported fixtures over serial connections

This makes the Aria X2 IPH not only future-proof, but also compatible with a wide array of ecosystems and lighting control architectures.

Built to Perform, Built to Last

Crafted in an IP67-rated aluminum and metal enclosure, the Aria X2 IPH is weatherproof, dust-resistant, and ready for deployment in the most rugged locations. It’s also fitted with a Kensington lock slot for security, and M12 thread for clamp mounting, making it a true install-anywhere solution.

RF capabilities include:

• 2404–2480 MHz for 2.4GHz WiFi/BLE
• 863–870 MHz for EU Sub-GHz operations
• 902–928 MHz for US Sub-GHz operations

The Aria X2 IPH incorporates interference mitigation through CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) and supports adaptive frequency hopping (planned), reducing data collisions and improving reliability in congested RF environments. OTA (Over-the-Air) updates ensure your unit stays current with the latest firmware improvements and features.

Smart Connectivity

Connect via two N-Male antenna ports, supporting both 2.5dBi and 5dBi antennas, giving you flexibility in range and signal strength optimization. Data is input through a hardwire DMX In/Thru port, offering reliable physical connectivity for critical control links.

Efficient Power & Safety

Designed for worldwide voltage compatibility, the Aria X2 IPH runs on AC 100–277V 50/60Hz with minimal power consumption:

• 1.7W (17mA) @ AC100V 60Hz
• 1.7W (14mA) @ AC120V 60Hz
• 2.1W (9mA) @ AC230V 50Hz

Whether you're upgrading your lighting infrastructure or building a new wireless DMX network from the ground up, the Aria X2 IPH delivers the performance, flexibility, and durability professionals demand.
