Micro 8 is specifically designed for the control of stage and
presentation lighting in pubs, small clubs, hotel entertainment and conference areas, lecture theatres and for classroom drama where the scale of the lighting installation may be small, but where the quality required is no less than in a full size professional theatre.
Micro 8 offers eight control channels, each rated to handle up to
OOO watt of 220/240v tungsten lamp load. Each channel is
1 provided with a three position switch to select channel off, channel through dimmer, or channel full-on.
Four Triac dimmers, each fully rated for 2 x 1
OOO watt loads, are
linked to adjacent pairs of control channels. These solid-state dimmers are regulated by fingertip-operated fader levers. Overriding these is a master fader, situated on the right hand side of the unit. Micro 8 is contained within a lightweight, but strong, moulded casing, attractively styled in claret colour with smooth texture
finish. The control panel and the rear angled panel with recessed socket outlets, are both finished in contrasting white.
Micro 8 is a free standing desk, but can be wall-mounted by the
addition of an accessory kit.
