DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION 
The maXim MP, L(P), XL(P) and XXL(P) models are the larger desks in the extensive maXim family of 
fader based lighting controllers. The letter P in the model name indicates that the PaTPaD moving light 
controller has been fitted. 
This manual describes the operation of the maXim including the PaTPaD. If your maXim is not fitted with 
a PatPad, please disregard any references to it. As you will see, the PaTPaD provides a multitude of 
features that are essential when operating moving fixtures. If you want to add these features, a PaTPaD 
can be retrofitted to your maXim by your LSC dealer. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
All models are very similar in operation and vary only in their size, layout, number of faders and 
memories. At any point in this manual where the model affects the specification, the text will describe the 
maXim
MP followed by the maXim L, XL and XXL in brackets.
For example; “The Yellow bank has faders for channels/fixtures 1 to 24 (36, 48, 60)”.
