Chauvet Acquires LynTec: Two Brand Partners Come Together

SUNRISE, FL – In keeping with its mission of providing customers with cutting edge technological solutions, Chauvet has acquired LynTec, a leading global supplier of electrical power solutions for lighting, video, and audio systems. Founded in 1982, Lenexa, Kansas-based LynTec is widely known for its advanced lighting control panels, with these products installed in well over 10,000 sites throughout the world.

“With the addition of LynTec to our group of companies, we will be able to offer our customers a complete solution that embraces lighting, video, show programming, and control at every level from the creation of a design, to the control of power at an installation,” said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. “We not only value LynTec for its technology, we’ve also been very impressed by the company’s ongoing commitment to improving its products and level of service to customers. In this respect, it mirrors the same values that have powered the growth of Chauvet.”

Like Chauvet, LynTec has been dedicated to offering effective value driven solutions to every segment of its markets. For example, in the House of Worship market, its panels have been used at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and Church of the Highlands, as well as at churches serving only a small number of worshippers. The same diversity is also very evident in its mix of theatrical, sports center and entertainment venue business, as its products are found in NHL arenas, as well as at high school auditoriums.

“We are very excited to be joining the Chauvet family based on our shared commitment to providing excellence to our customers in all facets,” said Mark Bishop, President of LynTec. “The synergies between the two companies will enable us to continue developing outstanding products while providing unmatched customer service and project solutions for our current and future customers.”

In addition to lighting control panels, such as the award-winning LCP Lighting Control Panel, LynTec makes remote control circuit breaker/relay panels, and Pro AV control panels. As it’s grown, the company has continued to develop innovations. At LDI 2022 it introduced the highly acclaimed PDS-12 Sequencing Relay Panel and Smart Switch Sets. Given this commitment to innovation and customer, LynTec should find itself right at home at Chauvet.

Pliant Technologies Crewcom CB2 Wireless Intercom System

Adding to the success of its renowned CrewCom digital wireless intercom system, Pliant Technologies announces the CrewCom CB2 Professional Wireless Intercom system. The latest member of the CrewCom family, the new full-duplex, install-friendly and feature-packed CrewCom CB2 is an ideal solution for small to mid-level applications requiring a reliable, great sounding wireless intercom with excellent RF coverage and range. Available in both 900MHz and 2.4GHz frequency options as well as 900MHz Oceania and 2.4GHz CE compliant models, the system includes the CrewCom CB2 base station and up to six CRP-12 two-channel radio packs to create a powerful but economical wireless intercom system. This latest solution from Pliant provides customers with two intercom channels as well as interconnectivity to all industry standard two-wire and four-wire intercom systems.

“Ideal for a wide range of applications and budgets, the new CrewCom CB2 is perfect for customers who are looking for an intercom with more capabilities than our MicroCom products, but do not require roaming or the full feature set of our larger CrewCom system,” says Gary Rosen, Vice President of global sales for Pliant Technologies. “As a member of the CrewCom brand, CrewCom CB2 offers a lower cost per user with the excellent RF and audio quality of the CrewCom system—allowing customers to benefit from the exceptional performance of CrewCom technology, at a lower price point.”

Two CB2 basestations can be connected and the audio synced to create one system with up to 12 full-duplex users. Two separate CB2 systems can also be synced to ensure RF performance if they need to be co-located in the same RF area. The CB2 can also sync and be co-located in the same coverage area as an existing CrewCom system. The new CrewCom CRP-12 radio packs feature the same batteries as CrewCom, making the batteries compatible with its 6+6 Drop-In radio pack and battery charger.

The system is also compatible with Pliant’s complete line of SmartBoom headsets. This affordable, out of the box wireless system boasts simple set up and its small, lightweight IP65-rated beltpacks are reliable, durable and easy to operate. Featuring 7K audio quality, CrewCom CB2 users are sure to experience crystal clear communication in a range of production environments such as theaters, houses of worship, and other small events.
