These newly styled Kabuki boxes were designed and manufactured by Bandit Lites' Technical Services Division. Each box has a load bearing potential of 15 pounds. The system is 'fired' from a custom-designed control centre, which is rack mountable and is contained in the PD racks. It holds the potential to fire up to 60 Kabuki boxes simultaneously. "This system is much more versatile than anything else on the market," said Richard Willis, Bandit Lites vice-president. The unique design of this system will give designers more flexibility like the capability to hang curtains from half-moon or circular truss.
For use in the Toby Keith show, 30 of these smaller Kabuki boxes will be positioned on a U-shaped truss at intervals of 4ft. This will enable them to hold up the two-part muslin curtain that will be attached to the truss. The system was designed specifically for the Toby Keith tour.
