Claypaky Sinfonya Profile 600, specific for theater applications

Based on low noise LED, the Sinfonya Profile luminaire 600 has been designed by Claypacks for specific use in theater applications, with high performance features, in a compact and elegant format.

Theaters are demanding environments that require extremely quiet operation, very high quality of light and control, along with repositioning precision. The new range Sinfonya Profile 600 of Claypacks responds to these needs and provides levels of performance that were not possible before.

Most LED theater fixtures on the market have been recycled from touring moving heads and adapted for use in this environment.. The decision and project to design the best possible luminaire from scratch was a milestone, point out from Claypaky, and builds on customer input to create one specifically for theatrical applications.

“Integrating so much new technology into one compact body it was a challenge, but it has been achieved with spectacular results. The goal was to have a discreet form factor that could be used both in theater lighting rigs and in small niches around the stage frame - they add.. Until now, They were difficult to assemble, especially because of its size. All of these customer demands have been incorporated into a new product design that is sleek and modern., with a precision of beam control amazing, with a coverage from 5º to 60º on stage”.

Tonedown Sinfonya Profile is the star feature 600. Claypaky made a new design to allow for truly quiet operation on stage, by redesigning the cooling system. Even at full capacity, the noise is only 27db.

Besides, the fan has been removed from the base, which further reduces noise on stage and eliminates so-called 'black noise'.’ from other frequencies which can sometimes be annoying. All of this gives great scope to theater designers and directors to incorporate new choreographic and acting aspects..

Another novelty of Sinfonya is the use of Accuframe, a unique framing system that uses two focal planes. “We have used four plans for many years, until our engineers discovered a new way to improve performance. Saving time on programming and refocusing was a key request from the designers and the team found a new way to do it and dramatically improve performance: Forty times more accurate than traditional framing systems, offering unlimited scope and possibilities on stage.”.

Claypaky has designed a new patented optical system providing ultra-high performance and precision, which allows increasing the aspect ratio to 1:12, which provides a beam angle potential of 5 a 60 degrees on stage.

This feature of Sinfonya Profile 600 provides greater flexibility of use in large and small theaters, where low height can be a problem. This theater-specific luminaire can now be used in a wider variety of locations without loss of white or color beam performance..

New Claypaky Firmware Delivers Precise Beam Control on Multicolor Engine, with rich, vibrant colors optimized for stage or television and high CRI and TLCI levels. Besides, It is easier to install and manage, saving time, and precisely controls the five color light engine by Sinfonya.

The high control of the motor makes “the quality of the light in the beam exceptional”, they say from the company, thanks to special firmware algorithm, developed in-house by Claypaky.

Using the new calibration function along with the software Claypaky CloudIO Any fixture on stage can be easily aligned for a performance with the same light output levels and color temperature.

Even older fixtures can have the color sampled and measured before being imported using the digital filter option and replicated in Sinfonya so they all match perfectly, providing optimal consistency on stage.

As he emphasizes Giovanni Zucchinali, Claypaky Product Portfolio Manager, “We have listened to the market and designed a new luminaire just for it; the first purely theatrical and we are delighted with its performance. “It definitely sets a marker for the rest of the industry and to have a fixture with such smooth control at 30db is incredible.”.

Sinfonya Profile 600 includes a number of proprietary and protected technologies seen across the Claypaky range. The absolute position from Pan and Tilt is the first on the market, which will save designers a lot of time on set.

Sometimes, during a performance, a luminaire from a series needs to be readjusted, and it can be uncomfortable and visible, as devices move through their configuration process to find their zero point and rejoin with sequence and performance.

The absolute position is a big step forward in terms of reducing audience distraction thanks to a smart sensor in the head, which indicates at what point in the cycle the luminaire is located, which means the audience doesn't see how it spins and crowds around to distract you from the show while you try to find the reset point.

This new system “also provides much greater precision in terms of repositioning, characteristic that is very appreciated - they point out from the company -, since the time to refocus before the show is always limited”.
