NSI NRD

 

8000 ADDRESSABLE DIMMER PACK 

INTRODUCTION 

The NSI NRD 8000 is a rack mountable eight channel dimmer system that provides 1200 
watts per channel or a maximum power capacity of 9,600 watts. 

The NRD 8000 is fully user addressable allowing assignment of up to eight of a possible 
128 channels. Microplex technology developed by NSI for the stage lighting industry, is 
the electrical marriage of microprocessor technology with digitally controlled 
multiplexing. This technology allows all NSI Lighting components to be connected with 
standard three conductor microphone audio cables or even audio snakes.  System 
expansion is further simplified through the abi1ity to daisy chain additional dimmer packs 
to an existing system.  This application of microplex technology makes system set up and 
operation easy and convenient.  In addition, NSI Products are compatible with most other 
manufacturer’s lighting products, which use the same microphone cable interface. 

Our philosophy at NSI is to utilize only the highest quality components in the design and 
manufacturing of our products.  Problems that often plague dimmers such as flickering 
lights, buzzing in audio equipment, and triac failure are minimized in NSI products.  Each 
output of the NRD 8000 is fully filtered with industrial toroidal devices.  In place of triacs, 
NSI only uses professional grade dual SCR’s. 

You can be confident your NSI Dimmer Packs feature the best in performance and 
reliability standards available.
