ETC announces the addition of the Fresnel to the fos/4 studio family. Fresnels have been around for generations and are known for their smooth wash, adjustable zoom capabilities, and incredible brightness. With the addition of LEDs, however, many Fresnels became more about the technology and less about beautiful light. ETC’s fos/4 Fresnel takes the most desired features of an incandescent Fresnel and adds in the nuanced color mixing, smooth fades, and LED technology of ETC’s other professional-grade fixtures. With fos/4, you get a true Fresnel with an LED engine, not the other way around.
The fos/4 Fresnel includes all the features you’d expect from a standard Fresnel. Adjust the 13-55 degree zoom from either the front or the rear of the fixture. Use the accessory slot to add any number of beam-control accessories such as barn doors and soft boxes. The adjustable yoke enables easy balancing of the fixture after focus, and the homogenized optic gives you an impressively seamless beam of light. Remote control and contactless features of fos/4 include wireless communication using City Theatrical’s Multiverse technology and contactless programming using ETC’s Set Light app via NFC from a mobile device.
Like the fos/4 Panel, fos/4 Fresnels are available in two arrays – Lustr X8 for the full gamut of color mixing, and Daylight HDR for the brightest whites. Both arrays include deep red LEDs for the most nuanced rendering of skin tones, fabrics, and scenery of any fixture on the market. The fos/4 Fresnel outputs up to 9700 lumens, so you’ll never compromise on brightness.
fos/4 Fresnel is currently available with a seven-inch aperture, with 10- and 5-inch variants scheduled to be available in the coming months. Bright, quality color, with the Fresnel beam you need. Like all ETC products, the fos/4 Fresnel is backed by ETC’s 24/7/365 support and unmatched warranty. For more information, please visit studio.etcconnect.com.
