The Redback is a feature rich, high quality and
reliable dimmer in a small compact footprint at a
very affordable price. It is available in either 6 or
12 channel configurations and offers many
output connector choices. It can be controlled by
any DMX512 or RDM controller, or optionally,
any standard MIDI controller. It can be operated
locally from the front panel to output a preset
scene or run one of the built-in chase patterns.
Advanced capabilities include individual channel
settings for fade curve, minimum and maximum
output levels, plus MIDI and DMX control
patching. All configuration options and front
panel operations can also be controlled using
the RDM (Remote Device Management)
protocol.
Redback can be powered from either a three
phase or single phase supply.
