Overview
The grandMA3 compact XT is the larger of MA's two compact consoles, putting the full grandMA3 system in a lightweight desk. It has 8,192 parameters as standard, scales to 250,000 parameters per session with grandMA3 processing units, runs grandMA2 and grandMA3 software and supports GDTF natively.
Over the compact it adds a second foldable multi touch screen, 15 motorised faders and 60 playbacks, and it is listed here with its case. It suits owner operators, tech desks, theatres, churches and touring designers who want more faders without moving up to a full size console.

Forefront Tip
If you are choosing between the compact and compact XT, count the faders you use in a typical show. The XT's 15 faders and second screen make busking a concert much easier, while both desks have the same 8,192 parameters.
