The new Christie Roadie HD+30K projector generates 30,000 ANSI lumens of brightness at 2K resolution (2048 x 1080). Combined with extensive warranties and Christie service, the unit features a unique split-body design, a scooped hood for improved airflow, built-in rigging points and body handles or optional stac
The effect is created by rotating two X-size glass gobos off centre of the optical path; this results in a projection that does not appear to have a visible direction or pattern, say Rosco. The colour slot will accept dichroic colour filters and the projector includes onboard potentiometers to control the speed and direction of
With two gobo wheels - one rotating and indexable, the other fixed - a myriad of dynamic effects can be created and played upon the chosen subject. And being interchangeable, gobos can be switched around or substituted with others from the large Elektralite collection. Other features include full electronic focussing, an iris and strobe facility
XONE:S2 has amultitude of features designed to integrate it into a typical PA system. Oneof the key features is an output limiter system that enables the engineer topreset the maximum output level of the mixer, irrespective of input level.
The main mix outputs are on balanced XLR, and an additional mono output,also on XLR, can be used as a zone feed or can be used to feed a sub-bassstack. A dedicated alarm input mutes all music channels when active andthere is also a dedicated al
All features of the AX-2500T are targeted at professional audio installations, say the company: front gain controls are detachable and can be protected against misuse, while all other controls and in and output connectors are situated on the back panel for maximum protection.
