Germany - StageSmarts will introduce their new C24 power distribution at the upcoming Prolight + Sound show in Frankfurt. The C24 incorporates all the core elements of the company’s larger and award winning smartPDU series that have serviced numerous arena tours and events since its launch just over two years ago.
The C24 is designed to deal with the challenging loads that today’s LED lights and screens represent. Each of the 24 channels has a load sensor that detects possible overloads as well as accidentally disconnected loads.
A fast responding ‘lost neutral’ sensor disconnects the C24 from the mains to eliminate damaged due to excessive voltages. A 32A three-phase outlet with an adjustable RCD is also part of the package, useful for feeding a hoist controller and front-of-house power.
Output options include Socapex, Harting, Powercon and Powercon Tr

USA - Elation Professional’s latest innovation in its Artiste series is a 45,000-lumen LED profile light capable of projecting “some of the most gorgeous colours ever produced by an automated LED luminaire”.
The Artiste Monet’s colour palette is possible due to an innovative SpectraColor LED engine that uses traditional CMY colour mixing and adds variable RGB flags for richer, more saturated primary colours. In combination with variable CTO colour correction, the Monet produces colours that were previously impossible to achieve.
