    F A N M O D E S The Pulse Panel is a high-performance fixture suited for multiple applications. For noise critical environments such as Theater, Opera, or Orchestral Halls, it offers various fan operation modes which remove unwanted noise distractions for the audience and performers. Fan Modes can be changed remotely via the DMX control channel, allowing the fixture to offer high output or whisper-silent operation at a moment’s notice.

    Z O N E L I N K I N G The Pulse Panel stands out from other fixtures due to its ability to offer more individually controllable zones and LED types. However, different levels of control may sometimes be required, so multiple selectable DMX modes with varying numbers of control zones are offered to cater to these needs.
