Designed for use in noise-sensitive environments such as theatres, opera houses and auditoriums, the Halcyon Silent uses a convection cooling system to eliminate noise disturbance. World-renowned acoustics specialists Müller-BBM conducted testing on the luminaire to confirm its quiet operation.
At full luminous intensity, the sound level of the Halcyon Silent was measured at 13 dBA, bearing in mind that sound pressure levels below 20 dBA are considered as inaudible.
The Halcyon Silent boasts a luminous flux of 18,400 lumens and a wide zoom range: 5.5° to 60°.The fixture also arrives with a new patented color-mixing system using the 6 flag pairs of double trichromy to produce every type of colour, from brighter, more consistent pastels to the deepest saturated colours and all nuances of white.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.”
