Pro Audio Center Tip
One of the most common mistakes we see is customers purchasing the wrong controller for their lighting system.
The LC-RGB is designed specifically for standard RGB LED lighting where all LEDs on the circuit display the same color at the same time.
If you're planning a lighting system with advanced chasing, flowing, or individually addressable effects, you'll want a digital RGB controller instead.
Choosing the correct controller before installation helps ensure compatibility and saves time during your build.
Build Your Lighting System
Complete your installation with:
-
RGB speaker rings
-
RGB LED light strips
-
Marine-grade wiring accessories
-
Fuse holders
-
Power distribution blocks

Switch panels
-
Accent lighting kits

Audio system upgrades
-
Amplifiers and speakers
