StarFire

The StarFire firing system is developed by ACE Pyro, LLC, a leading American fireworks manufacturer, distributor, and display production company based in Michigan. The StarFire system is designed to be reasonably priced without sacrificing performance or reliability.

The system supports 1/100th of a second timing accuracy and unlimited simultaneous firing of cues. Each StarFire controller can power up to 254 module at 32 cues per module for a total of 8,128 cues. The system runs in wired mode by employing 22 AWG duplex wire or in wireless mode by employing the StarBridge accessory.
