Europe - Prolights has announced the launch of ÆtherBox, a single-universe CRMX transceiver with an IP65 protection rating, designed to offer versatility and robustness in any environment, from indoor venues to outdoor stages. With a wide range of connectivity options, including XLR five-pin in/out, Ethernet for sACN and ArtNet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, the device supports both CRMX and CRMX2 protocols.
ÆtherBox is built with a die-cast aluminium housing, suitable for resisting dust and water. This solid yet compact design includes multiple mounting options, such as rack mounting, truss installation using Velcro strings, camlock suspension for quick hanging (compatible with omega brackets), as well as M10 and 3/8 threaded holes to adapt to any technical and logistical requirement.
The ability to support multiple power options is one of ÆtherBox's key features. In addition to mains power via a True1 connector, the device supports a 12V DC input and can operate on battery power using a dedicated adapter plate. The control panel features a colour display and two pushable encoders, providing quick and intuitive access to advanced settings, simplifying configuration, and enabling seamless management of all transmission protocols.
