Product

Description

The SlimPACK™ 56 package includes four SlimPAR™ 56 lights, one

Obey™ 3 controller, four 10-foot DMX cables, and a CHS-SP4 carry bag.

The SlimPAR™ 56 is a compact, low-

profile LED par that can be used

when a compact wash is needed because it fits where other lights cannot.

With automated programs and power linking for autonomous operation, the

SlimPAR™ 56 works great for quiet installations due to silent operation

and lack of moving parts.

The Obey™ 3 is a compact DMX-512 controller for LED fixtures that

includes preset, chase, and macro modes. You will have full control of your

light show with

full fader and blackout control, and adjustable audio

sensitivity.

The CHS-SP4 holds accessories for the entertainer on the go. The soft bag

is custom-

designed to carry the SlimPAR™ 56s, the Obey™ 3, and all

connecting cables. Five internal padded compart

ments and two external

components allow quick, safe, and easy access to your lights.
