From the Roots to the Globe
In 2005, MADRIX debuted at Prolight + Sound with MADRIX 1.0. Back then, LED products were scarce at this event. Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" music video sparked a dream in MADRIX to create amazing LED installations.
A major breakthrough came in 2007 with MADRIX 2.0, featuring a modern graphical design and paving the way for multi-layer technology and complex LED patches. In 2008, an incredible MADRIX system with 36,240 DMX channels was implemented at Baiyoke Tower II in Bangkok, still operating flawlessly today.
MADRIX embodies the saying, "People who are serious about software should make their own hardware." By developing their hardware and software in tandem, MADRIX ensures seamless integration, optimal performance, and a tailored user experience. Their German-made products come with a rock-solid 5-year warranty.
