Introduced at the recent PALM Beijing Show to great acclaim the XR 330 BWS had already set the bar high back at specification stage. "As a result, all these fixtures combine superb optics with advanced light source technology to deliver bright, flat and uniform light, all linearly adjustable," says PR Lighting. All models support wireless DMX and offer CYM colour mixing with macro.
With a typically comprehensive feature-set contained in a chassis weighing just 22.2kg, the XR 330 BWS outputs an impressive 15,000 lumens. As with all models it contains two rotating prisms (8-facet and 16-facet); colour wheel with 13 colours (plus CTO) and white. In addition to the CMY colour mixing system, it boasts a fixed gobo wheel (with 13 fixed gobos plus white, shaking and bi-directional scrolling at variable speeds) and a fixed wheel with nine interchangeable rotating gobos; individual frost filter and uniformity lens, which can be chosen to adjust the gobo clarity; mechanical dimmer 0-100%; mechanical shutter 0.3-25 fps (with macro); motorized linear focus and zoom.
As for beam movement, in 'Beam' mode the aperture is 2.3°-10°, linearly adjustable; in Spot mode, 5°-22° linearly adjustable, and in Wash mode, 5°-40° linearly adjustable, while the head movement offers 540° of pan and 270° of tilt movement, with auto position correction.
