Showgear debuts Rain Domes for moving heads
- Details
The Showgear Rain Domes are designed to withstand ‘copious amounts of rain and keep your fixtures safe’. Two types of platforms and three types of sleeves, which are available separately, accommodate all but the biggest moving heads. The smaller 40-cm platform can be combined with a sleeve 40 cm in diameter and 52 cm high. For the bigger 60-cm platform there are two types of sleeves available: a cylindrical one with a diameter of 60 cm and a height of 62 cm, and a bulb-shaped one with a base diameter of 60 cm, a wider top, and a height of 85 cm.
A conveniently placed power inlet and multiple outlets provide an easy way to power your fixture underneath the sleeve. The Pro Power True input is daisy-chained to a Pro Power True output on the back, and Pro Power True, Schuko, and Pro Power outputs on top of the platform. A waterproof opening (flap) in the sleeves allows easy access to all cabling of your moving head, without the need to remove the whole sleeve. On the bottom four M12 threaded holes can be used to install spigots for mounting the platform on a truss totem.
The Rain Dome has a built-in pressure switch to prevent unwanted damage. The switch will automatically shut down all power when inside pressure diminishes. This can be temporarily overruled by an included bypass switch. This way, your moving head will not suffer from burned-out motors if the sleeve accidentally deflates and impedes the head’s movements.
