Rob Baxter and Bryan Cheevers have announced that they are retiring and will no longer support or manufacture products including the Pocket Console DMX. They released the following statement:

BCi would like to thank all of our Pocket Console DMX customers for the past 20 years with a huge THANK YOU for an excellent 20 year run of sales in the thousands of Pocket Consoles DMX, worldwide. It has been a good run, Thank you all!

“Baxter Controls Inc.” and “B C Illuminations”, otherwise known collectively as “BCi”, Home of The Pocket Console DMX, announce the retirement of their two principals, Rob Baxter and Bryan Cheevers. And with this, the subsequent wind down of the manufacture and sale of the Pocket Console DMX and all its iterations.

Anyone wishing to purchase a Pocket Console DMX, should do so now! There are fewer than 20 Best Boy II’s on the self and then that’s the end of the line!
