The OM 500 series of memory consoles has rapidly gained acceptance
as the state of the art where powerful , versatile control of large numbers
of channels is required .

should be sufficiently flexible to adapt to the inevitable developments in

software and operating procedures .
Among features of the OM 500 range are: 400 real level memories

available on 20 faders; integral keyboard for programming alpha-numeric
displays ; 20 memory chase programs (over 1500 steps) accessible on 2

chase controls simultaneously . Simple memory and chase programming

and editing with alpha-numeric prompting available in a number of
languages . ;

and load information via an outboard Disk Drive unit.

PRECEPT
RANGE

The Precept range of
microcomputer lighting control
consoles are the first of their size to
put the power of full computer
control into the hands of the budget­conscious lighting operator .

The Precept series was designed
with reliability and simplicity of use
as paramount engineering goals. As
a result the consoles are a delight to
operate. There are no complex
keyboards or keystroke routines.
Any operator who has used a
manual two preset lighting desk will
feel totally at ease.

THE 30 X 10 AMP
DIMMING SYSTEM

The 30 x 10 amp dimming system has been
specifically designed to complement our "C" and
Rolacue control consoles .

This sysmm incorporates three 10 channel versions
of our 10 amp dimming modules. Each module has

its own integral patch outlets. The compact mains
patch facility allows a total of 72 lamp channels to be
patched into the 30 dimming channels .

By utilising this simplified patching method we have
been able to produce a compact dimming system
that retains all the basic features of the Avolites
dimmer at a price within the scope of the most basic
budget.

cabling associated with lighting control from one place and equally
difficult to obtain intelligent advice and service .
