Now the Source Four is set to become even better, with the launch at PLASA 2005 of a potent new accessory, the EDLT - the Enhanced Definition Lens Tube. Designed as an option for the Source Four fixed focus profile, the EDLT provides even crisper projections with greater acuity and higher contrast. The EDLT makes graphics look even better and the beam edge even sharper, with no loss in field lumens. Whenever a crisp edge is needed for a window gobo in a theatrical scene, or whenever a projected corporate logo needs to be spot on, the EDLT is the choice say ETC.
Set for delivery in December, the Enhanced Definition Lens Tube will be available in 19°, 26°, and 36° beam angles. The 50° beam angle will follow in the first quarter of 2006. Tom Littrell, ETC's luminaire product manager, said: "Because our product development is an ongoing process of subtle refinements, people often don't always notice the differences. All they see is that the Source Four remains the best luminaire in the industry. These new offerings are testament to ETC's commitment to innovation, maintaining the Source Four as the world's number one choice among lighting designers."
Now an entire family of award-winning luminaires, the Source Four line includes the Source Four PAR, PARNel, Zoom, junior and junior zoom and the MultiPAR batten, as well as HID (high intensity discharge) versions for architectural use. The most recent addition to the family, the Source Four Revolution, a moving light with the same bright optics as its forebears and exceptionally quiet automation say the company, which makes it ideal for noise-sensitive theatre, concert or opera applications.
