Dimmer packs are the heart of any stage lighting system. They translate coded signals

o power levels required to drive high power lamps to desired

The NSI ND 4600 and ND 5000 satellite dimmer packs are both fully user addressable

eight control channels.

hnology, developed by NSI for the stage lighting market, is the electrical

marriage of microprocessor technology with digitally controlled multiplexing. Microplex

technology allows your system to be connected using standard microphone cables or even

snakes. System expansion is further simplified through the ability to daisy chain

additional dimmer packs to an existing system. This application of Microplex technology

been

known to be compatible with other manufacturer's lighting products that use the same

microphone cable interface.

Our philosophy at NSI is to utilize only the highest quality components. Problems that

zing in audio equipment and triac failure are

minimized with toroidal devices. In place of triacs, NSI only uses professional grade dual

SCR's.

You can be confident your NSI dimmer packs feature the best performance and

reliability standards available.
