The first Minim - which, LSC says, was the direct result of listening to customer requests and in-depth market research - rolled off the production line in 2003. Since its inception there has only ever been one software version of the Minim - testament to its clever design, say LSC. Based on a fader-style theatrical layout, the Minim can be used as a 12-channel twin preset manual control console, or with a tap of a single button, switched to memory recall mode. The Minim can also be used as a 24-channel console in wide mode and includes switchable mains power supply to ensure reliable operation anywhere in the world. The Minim has firmly established itself as a standard in the entertainment lighting industry for users both professional and amateur, say LSC. It has proved popular in the education and worship sectors of the market, and one Minim is exclusively used by the production company behind CBS TV series Survivor.
"The Minim has been a great success for LSC and follows in the footsteps of the original Precept 12 and Atom 12 consoles" the company says. In total, almost 4,000 consoles have left LSC's building since 2001.
