Introduction TheatreCue provides for cueing of remote Outstations, each acting as an interactive cuelight or as a direct controller of stage equipment. Each Main Unit controls up to 14 Outstations and the system is designed so that up to 8 Main Units can be linked, thus providing for the control of up to 112 Outstations if required.

Ensure the power supply lead cannot be walked on or damaged by items placed on or against it. Do not use if the power supply lead is damaged.
