When
Boston’s new House of Blues (HOB) was built out, equipment
integrator Bandit chose DistroTECH 12-channel hoist controllers from
A.C.T Lighting as part of the cable package it installed.
Located across the street from Fenway Park, the new HOB is a former
nightclub, which occupied two buildings. One building was torn down and
rebuilt from the ground up; the remaining building houses
HOB’s
restaurant.
“About three months before opening, House of Blues decided to
reuse gear from the former club but needed new chain motors, cable and
gear,” says Chris Barbee, sales and design associate with
Bandit.
“They were concerned about working cost effectively while
maintaining a high level of quality. We had seen A.C.T’s
DistroTECH systems at LDI and were really impressed by how they were
built. We thought they would be a perfect fit in terms of size and
price.”
A.C.T’s DistroTECH product line provides power and control
for
electric chain hoists. Among the many features are cam feed through
with double neutral standard Airpax Switch-rated hydraulic magnetic
circuit breakers, dual microprocessor design, front-panel input phrase
indicators, and phase reverse switch.
The product also has a handheld remote with 50-foot cable which offers
individual “Bump” pushbuttons, automatic shutdown
if the
remote disconnects, and motor direction LEDs.
The systems come in ATA rolling rack cases with stacking cups; for
permanent installations wall-mounted versions are available.
Since installing DistroTECH “everyone has been pleased with
the
gear and the support we’ve received from A.C.T,”
Barbee
notes. “They’re really happy with how DistroTECH is
working
out.”
