Designed for use with popular floor-standing truss podiums, the DT-Dyno Wheel from DuraTruss is an innovative new product that provides lighting users with a more flexible framework on which to mount their fixtures, making it the ideal truss-topper for touring rigs and stage setups.
With a circular design, the new DT-Dyno Wheel gives lighting designers the freedom and flexibility to hang their moving heads directly downwards or outwards, positioning them all around the truss wheel for hitting different parts of the stage or venue. This means that users can easily hang their moving heads, for stunning downward-facing beam effects, while par cans, washes and spots can also be mounted for when stage washes and spotlighting are essential. Due to its adaptable design, users can also hang branding and signage from the DT-Dyno Wheel, opening up additional production and marketing options, whether setting up on-stage, down on the exhibition hall floor or inside a house of worship.
“We're always seeking ways to make the life our customers easier, but we also want to give them more flexibility when it comes to their touring rigs and stage setups,” explains Ken Kahn, president of DuraTruss. “The DT-Dyno Wheel basically makes it easier for lighting users to be flexible with how they mount their fixtures, allowing them to point their moving heads and other effects straight downwards thanks to the circular shape of the trussing. This means a more flexible, creative lightshow, without the need to erect horizontal truss.”
As well as offering a range of practical features, the DT-Dyno Wheel can be conveniently incorporated into any touring setup, thanks to its relatively low net weight (30 lbs (13.6kg)) and manageable 39in (999.7mm) diameter. Despite this compactness, it still provides enough space for mounting a selection of moving heads or other lighting fixtures, so users get the best of both worlds. The DT-Dyno Wheel can also hold an evenly distributed weight of up to 220 lbs.(99.7kg), so users can hang a variety of lighting effects from the wheel for greater variation and scope.
