For years, ETC has established itself as the leader in fanless automated lighting technology. Today, ETC advances its fanless product line even further with the new High End Systems Halcyon Silent. This luminaire balances silent operation with the exceptional feature set of ETC’s flagship Halcyon family.
Perfect for concert halls, opera houses, and other noise-sensitive venues, Halcyon Silent is convection-cooled to eliminate distracting sounds. World-renowned acoustics specialists Müller-BBM conducted testing on the luminaire to confirm its quiet operation. At full intensity with background noise removed, Halcyon Silent sound levels measured at 13 dBa. Sound pressure levels less than 20 dBa are considered inaudible.
Halcyon Silent brings 18,400 lumens as well as a 5.5-60 degree zoom range to the stage. The fixture also arrives with a new patented color-mixing system utilizing 12 flags. With this technology, users can achieve brighter, more consistent pastels as well as deeper saturation. These color sets can be controlled via simple combined mode, or with a fully individual flag control mode.
Engineered to maximize design possibilities, Halcyon Silent includes a host of gobos on two rotating gobo wheels. The luminaire also features full curtain framing along with the Trifusion system for total diffusion control from sharp projections to heavy washes.
Programmers can control the angular position of animations with Halcyon Silent’s continuously variable rotating animation wheel. ETC’s patented Whisper Home technology further enhances the user experience with a quiet, fast, and precise homing process. Users can also take full advantage of Halcyon Silent’s dual prisms, iris, and color wheel to elevate their designs.
“Since the introduction of SolaFrame Theatre and SolaFrame Studio, hundreds of venues across the globe have trusted ETC’s fanless solutions in the most acoustically sensitive environments,” says Automated Lighting Product Manager Matt Stoner. “With Halcyon Silent, we continue that legacy with a fixture that’s higher output and lighter weight than the SolaFrame Theatre.”
Market Manager Tania Lesage notes, “The live entertainment industry has already embraced the Halcyon family for its best-in-class performance and features. With the addition of Halcyon Silent, the family can serve even more markets with its outstanding, yet quiet, performance.”
