LSC Unitour empowers flexibility for Arlon’s House of Culture

The Maison de la Culture d’Arlon, a theatre and cultural destination in the south-east of Belgium, has taken delivery of a Unitour system from LSC Control Systems, an Australia-based manufacturer of data distribution, power and lighting control systems.

 

“We needed a power distribution system that could solve various problems in a single device”, explains the theatre’s Technical Director, Benoit Petit. “It had to be easy to move, fairly compact and able to provide both direct and dimmed power and sACN compliant for dimmer control. It also needed to include a monitoring system and electrical protection.”

 

Portability was key because although the system would mainly serve the smaller, 120-capacity secondary venue, it would also be needed for other stages around the building, or sometimes in different locations across the town.

 

Following a demo of Unitour given by LSC’s Benelux distribution partner Controllux and LSC’s Business Development Manager for Europe, Kris Noerens, Petit was convinced by the system’s functions and user approach. Furthermore, the Houston X software - which would allow for remote monitoring and configuration, enabling the team to receive alerts ahead of dropouts - was a major consideration.

 

Petit placed the order for the touring-grade power distribution system just before Christmas, and delivery followed in mid-February. Specified and delivered by Controllux, the chosen system is a 24-channel Unitour rack, complete with Houston X remote control software. Unitour features LSC’s TruPower dim/switch technology, enabling the client to protect and monitor the venue’s equipment in a reliable way.

 

Unitour’s functionalities are almost exactly the same as those offered by LSC’s Unity systems, which are designed for fixed installations, but in a robust, mobile rack. Due to the staggered channel start-up, avoiding high inrush currents, this system is suited for powering equipment with switched power circuits, such as LED walls.
