The most flexible dimming system available. Launched at PLASA 2005, ETC?s IES Matrix Mk II is the result of years of development in entertainment-lighting systems, combined with IES experience in installing low-noise dimmers in leading theatres, concert halls and TV networks.

Matrix Mk II was created to take advantage of a new generation of technology that allows dimmers of different ratings and styles, such as sine wave, to be mixed in the same installation. Now with just 44mm additional headroom, the density of the rack has been increased up to 162 dimmer channels. With space for up to six iSCR / four iSINE dimming channels per module, SineWave modules are available in 3kW, 5kW or 12kW versions, and SCR modules (basic and high spec) are available in 3kW, 5kW and 12kW.

With relay and HMI switch options also part of the 'mix-and-match' selection of plug-in, hot-swap dimmer modules, Matrix Mk II is truly the most flexible system available, allowing users to tailor their dimming precisely to their power control needs. With the flexibility of Matrix Mk II, no matter what type of load or how many different types of fixtures are used in the same rig, all loads will dim with the same visual curve, thanks to dynamic load sensing which matches dimming curves for high and low wattage loads. Matrix systems have always encompassed the benefits of sine wave dimming, including completely silent lamp filaments and lower running costs. Now Matrix Mk II offers even better efficiency, up to 98%, so there's even less heat and less wasted power. With the addition of a Web-browser configuration tool for simple and fast configuration changes, Matrix Mk II also incorporates ETC's DimSTAT reporting software with dynamic load sensing and curve-correction options and instant diagnosis of dimmer faults.
