ETC has expanded its fanless product line with the new High End Systems Halcyon Silent. This luminaire balances silent operation with the exceptional feature set of ETC’s flagship Halcyon family and will be on display at LDI 2024 booth 2554.
Perfect for concert halls, opera houses, and other noise-sensitive venues, Halcyon Silent is convection-cooled to eliminate distracting sounds. World-renowned acoustics specialists Müller-BBM conducted testing on the luminaire to confirm its quiet operation. At full intensity with background noise removed, Halcyon Silent sound levels measured at 13 dBa. Sound pressure levels less than 20 dBa are considered inaudible.
Halcyon Silent brings 18,400 lumens as well as a 5.5-60 degree zoom range to the stage. The fixture also arrives with a new patented color-mixing system utilizing 12 flags. With this technology, users can achieve brighter, more consistent pastels as well as deeper saturation. These color sets can be controlled via simple combined mode, or with a fully individual flag control mode.
Engineered to maximize design possibilities, Halcyon Silent includes a host of gobos on two rotating gobo wheels. The luminaire also features full curtain framing along with the Trifusion system for total diffusion control from sharp projections to heavy washes.
Programmers can control the angular position of animations with Halcyon Silent’s continuously variable rotating animation wheel. ETC’s patented Whisper Home technology further enhances the user experience with a quiet, fast, and precise homing process. Users can also take full advantage of Halcyon Silent’s dual prisms, iris, and color wheel to elevate their designs.
