OK..very specific question here. What is the best 8 channel, 2.4kW/channel, 2U rackmount dimmer with knockout panels for under $1150? My current pick is the NSI DS824 Knockout Style dimmer, which I can purchase for $1107.21.
Here's the story: we have a $5000 grant specifically to replace 4 rackmount dimmers, which are Lightronics dimmers, and are known by the local repair guys for going through power supplies on a yearly basis. We have tested the power, and it's fairly clean, it's just that the dimmers are 8 years old, and are having some trouble with reliability. This money is specifically set aside for dimmer replacement, and I was just wondering if anyone has any other recommendations other than the NSI rack packs.
Another reason that we selected the NSI rack packs is because the dimmer modules and control module are individually replaceable. And NSI seems to have a better reliability record than Lightronics. We also require the DMX input.
Again, I'm just sounding this excellent community for any options that I might have missed.
