PLASA 2001 sees Avolites launch the Art2000-US 20 Amp digital dimmer, specifically designed for America.

The Full Mains Patching, virtually silent operation and 100% duty cycle, 20 Amp channels will satisfy America’s sharply growing demand for portable, high density touring dimming systems.

The Avolites Art-2000 dimmer is an established and proven design, and the American system utilises the flexible Dimming or Mains Distribution modular design that has made the Avolites Art dimmer popular around the world.

The system features a Mains Patch with 4 sockets per dimmer channel (total 192) to 162 Patch Cords connected to 25 Socapex and 12 Stagepin outlets. All patch cords are numbered, colour coded and utilise the 32 Amp rated “Multi Lam” contacts.

Mains connection is via 5 wire Cam-lok inputs complete with Cam-lok loop outlets. The Rack system is supplied with Voltage and Current metering for all phases and neutral.

Other features such as Onboard Channel or Memory Control, noise suppression to studio specifications, dual DMX input with merge and full soft-patching capabilities, enables Art2000 to be utilised on any type of production.
