Frequently asked questions
Can these products work together?
Yes. The PDE Active Junction Box can distribute DMX and Ethernet to multiple Atomic Dot fixtures, allowing the junction box to serve as the control hub while the Atomic Dots provide the visible strobe and eye-candy effects across a venue or touring rig.
Which is better for small clubs or portable rigs?
The Atomic Dot suits small to mid-size venues needing a single compact strobe effect with minimal power draw and quick setup. The PDE is infrastructure-focused and best deployed in systems with multiple fixtures or permanent installations requiring advanced signal management.
What lighting protocols do each support?
The Atomic Dot supports DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and P3 protocols directly. The PDE Active Junction Box provides DMX splitting and Ethernet switching via etherCON, allowing it to bridge and distribute these protocol signals across networked lighting systems.
Are both rated for outdoor touring use?
Yes. The Atomic Dot carries IP65 protection and aluminum housing for outdoor work and touring. The PDE Active Junction Box also rates IP65 with robust metal housing, making both suitable for outdoor festivals and variable-condition rentals.
