Avolites launched the new ART 2000 PowerCube at the 2009 Prolight & Sound exhibition in Frankfurt last week. It is being marketed as the next step in ultra portable dimmer, mains & data distribution systems, something that Avolites has become synonymous with through their ART Dimmer Range.
I is based on the proven technology of the ART 2000 Touring range; the ART Powercube features 12 dimmer circuits, 6 combined dimmer and fixed mains circuits, 6 dedicated fixed mains and two 16A utility circuits. All of which is contained in a compact flight case that can be lifted by one person and securely stacked. Also built in are two outlet DMX splitters and an Ethernet input with ARTnet support, which will cover the varied control situations that this system will encounter.
18 local control fades allow for quick access to lights and provide for 12 memories to be replayed. The familiar ART2000 operating system features Softpatch, separate Channel Curve, Limit and pre-heat attributes and remote memory functions. An intuitive web-interface also allows for remote setup and monitoring.
It looks like a fairly well rounded, well equipped and well designed piece of kit. No news on pricing, but more information is available at www.avolites.org.uk
