Airstream WIFI Pak 8-channel Lighting Switch Pack

This innovative and convenient 8-channel switch pack is easily controlled by the Airstream Wifi app, and is perfect for mobile DJs and entertainers as well as small venues and installers. Using a connected smart device, a simple touch of your finger commands the Airstream WIFI Pak to remotely switch on or off any lighting fixtures that are plugged into one of its eight power outlets.

The pack itself has a simple design featuring a WIFI antenna, an on/off switch, a power indicator LED, a Master/Slave switch and eight Edison output sockets. Each of these outputs can be connected to equipment drawing a maximum 960W of power, while the overall power rating for the unit is 1,800W. For larger setups, multiple Airstream WIFI Packs can be used together, linked wirelessly for Master/Slave operation.

What really makes this new switch pack concept stand out is the intuitive control app, which allows the equipment connected to the pack to be turned on and off remotely at the tap of a finger. The first thing to note is that a wireless network is created directly between your iOS device and the Airstream pack, which means there is no need to access a venue’s WIFI system or to carry a router or any other additional hardware. This private network is passcode protected, runs on the 2.4GHz DSSS wireless frequency and will coexist in busy RF environments alongside technologies such as Bluetooth and other WIFI networks.

Not only does the control app allow the pack to be operated remotely, with large buttons for each of the eight output channels, these buttons can be customized to your particular lighting setup. The button labels, which as default match the letters A – H printed next to each of the output sockets on the switch pack itself, can be altered to your own desired text. So, you could label the buttons with the product names of the equipment you are using and even their location on your rig or in your venue. What’s more, you can even use your iOS device’s camera to take a photo of each piece of equipment to show visually what each button is setup to control.
