Swisson XSD-S3-BC-5-US - 3000W Sine Wave Dimmer with 5-Pin XLR In/Through and PowerCON Blue in Black Finish

The Swisson XSD-S3-BC-5-US is a high-performance 3000W single-channel sine wave dimmer that offers an innovative approach to dimming by preserving the natural form of the AC sine wave, significantly reducing electrical disturbances. Unlike conventional phase control dimmers, the XSD-S3 minimizes issues such as filament sing and interference with nearby audio or video equipment. It provides stable and safe output by electronically regulating both voltage and current, making it suitable for a wide range of loads while maintaining high efficiency and quiet operation. Its compact and portable design makes it ideal for professional lighting setups in theatres, studios, or architectural applications.

This sine wave dimmer supports DMX control in both 8-bit and 16-bit modes and also offers a 0-10V analog input for versatile control options. Additionally, it features a manual control option via an encoder knob and can be fully managed through Remote Device Management (RDM). The bright OLED display on the XSD-S3 enables users to navigate its intuitive interface, adjust settings, and troubleshoot with ease. The dimmer also supports real-time display of sensor data, helping operators maintain optimal performance by alerting them to potential issues.

With the capability to handle up to 3kW of output power, the XSD-S3 is highly reliable in demanding environments, while its built-in short-circuit protection ensures safety. The dimmer also compensates for fluctuations in the power supply, providing regulated output even in unstable conditions. For ease of integration into different lighting setups, it offers DMX In/Through ports via 5-pin XLR connectors, and the device is designed for either truss mounting or standalone operation. The inclusion of Neutrik powerCON connectors ensures secure and reliable power connections.
