Product Description
Swisson XSD-S3-YC-5-US Input and Dimmer Output, 3 kW, powerCON TRUE1 Yellow, Black, 5-Pin XLR Connectors
Overview
The Swisson XSD-S3-YC-5-US is a portable, fully RDM-enabled single-channel sine wave dimmer designed for professional lighting applications requiring precise and reliable dimming control. Unlike traditional phase control dimmers, the XSD-S3 uses advanced sine wave dimming technology, which preserves the natural AC sine wave. This ensures smooth operation without filament sing or electrical disturbances that can interfere with sensitive audio or video equipment. The XSD-S3-YC-5-US provides electronically regulated voltage and current output, allowing it to handle a wide range of loads safely while compensating for fluctuations in mains power. It also incorporates protection mechanisms such as short-circuit detection for safe and efficient operation.
The XSD-S3 can be controlled via DMX (in both 8-bit and 16-bit modes), by a 0-10V analog input, or manually using the encoder knob on the device. It also supports remote control and configuration via RDM, making it easy to adjust dimmer curves, output response times, and other settings. A bright OLED display with an intuitive user interface allows for real-time feedback, sensor data display, and troubleshooting alerts, enabling quick and efficient management of the dimmer.
Designed for versatility, the XSD-S3-YC-5-US can be truss-mounted or used as a freestanding unit, making it suitable for theaters, studios, and architectural lighting setups. Its quiet operation and high efficiency ensure reliable performance in noise-sensitive environments. The dimmer is equipped with Neutrik XLR 5-pin In/Through connections for DMX signal input and output, along with terminal connectors for flexible wiring options. It also supports various dimming curves and personalities, making it adaptable to a wide range of lighting applications.
