Elinchrom 300RX - Manual (Page 6)

The upgraded Ranger RX unit, plus the new
Speed and Speed AS units are designated
RX because they may be operated by remote
control – by computer or by a handset – enor-
mously increasing the ease of use on location.
The basic unit has an improved “fast” recycling
sequence and the Speed unit will recycle to full
power in 2.9 seconds plus up to 250 flashes.
The Speed unit is available with either 2:1
asymmetrical or symmetrical output.
It incorporates the most advanced miniaturised
components weighing in at only 8 Kg – much
lighter and smaller than any comparable unit.
The same modified circuitry has permitted an
extension of its power range to 7 f-stop, with
enhanced stability. We believe these will be the
units to which others will be compared.
