The concept behind the Redback project was to produce a feature rich, high quality reliable dimmer in a small compact footprint at a very affordable price, says the company. After extensive development and product testing, LSC is confident that they have delivered these objectives. The Redback range is designed for mass manufacture resulting in a reduced overall build price and hence sale price, without compromising quality.
The Redback 12-channel dimmer is fully compliant with the new RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol, allowing remote configuration from any RDM compatible controller. This new functionality will also soon be available as a free software upgrade for all existing 6-channel Redback dimmer racks.
The design allows the unit to be assembled as either a 2RU dimmer (with outlets on the rear) or as a 4RU dimmer (with outlets on the front). The rack mount ears can also be reversed to allow the unit to be wall mounted if desired.
