PRG Broadway Unleashes Dash Mini: Pocket-Sized Power for On-the-Go Lighting Control
Secaucus, NJ – November 8, 2023 – PRG Broadway LLC, a leading provider of entertainment technology and services, today announced the release of Dash Mini, a revolutionary, ultra-compact lighting control solution designed for the modern creative. PRG, known for powering some of the biggest shows on Broadway and around the globe, is now bringing that professional-grade control to a much smaller, more accessible package. Located at 50 Meadowlands Parkway in Secaucus, NJ, and reachable at 727-271-2676, PRG is committed to innovation in the entertainment industry, and Dash Mini represents the next step in making powerful lighting control available to everyone, from solo performers to large-scale productions. For years, PRG has been the go-to resource for complex lighting, video, and audio needs. We’ve built careers on crafting stunning visual experiences for concerts, corporate events, theater, and television. We understand the challenges lighting designers and technicians face, especially when they’re on the move. That’s why we developed Dash Mini – to provide a robust, reliable, and incredibly portable solution that doesn't compromise on power or functionality. So, what is Dash Mini? Simply put, Dash Mini is a professional-grade lighting console, shrunk down to fit in your hand (or almost!). Don’t let the size fool you – this little powerhouse is capable of controlling hundreds of fixtures, running complex cues, and delivering the same level of creative control you’d expect from a much larger console. We’re talking about a full-featured system, packed with the tools needed to create dynamic and impactful lighting designs, all in a device that’s small enough to throw in a gig bag. Why did PRG create Dash Mini? “We saw a real need in the market for something like this,” explains a PRG spokesperson. “A lot of designers and technicians are doing more and more work on the go – busking gigs, smaller events, pre-viz sessions, even educational workshops. They needed something that was powerful enough to handle the job, but small and light enough to easily carry around. Existing solutions were either too bulky, too expensive, or lacked the features they needed. Dash Mini fills that gap perfectly.” What can Dash Mini do? A lot, actually. Here's a rundown of the key features: Intuitive Interface: Dash Mini boasts a clean, user-friendly interface. We designed it to be easy to learn, even for those new to lighting control. The tactile controls provide a satisfying, responsive experience, and the bright, high-resolution display is easy to read in any lighting conditions. Powerful Playback: Dash Mini features multiple playback faders and buttons, allowing you to easily trigger complex cues and create dynamic lighting sequences. You can program and store hundreds of cues, and quickly recall them on the fly. DMX Control: Of course, Dash Mini supports standard DMX control, allowing you to connect to a wide range of lighting fixtures. It supports Art-Net and sACN protocols, meaning it can easily integrate into existing networks. Wireless Connectivity: Dash Mini features built-in Wi-Fi, allowing you to control your lighting wirelessly. This is perfect for busking gigs or situations where running cables is impractical. You can also use Wi-Fi to connect to a computer for programming and editing. Remote Control via App: PRG has developed a companion app for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to control Dash Mini remotely. This is perfect for fine-tuning your lighting from anywhere in the venue. Compact and Durable: Dash Mini is built to withstand the rigors of life on the road. The rugged enclosure protects the internal components, and the compact size makes it easy to transport. It’s built like a PRG console, meaning it’s built to last. Built-in effects and palettes: Kickstart your creativity with a range of pre-programmed effects and color palettes. Customize them or create your own to perfectly fit your vision. Who is Dash Mini for? Dash Mini is designed for a wide range of users, including: Busking Musicians and Street Performers: A compact and powerful lighting solution that’s easy to carry and set up. Corporate Event Producers: Perfect for small-scale presentations and events where a full-size console is overkill. Theater and Dance Companies: Ideal for rehearsals, tech rehearsals, and small-scale performances. Lighting Designers: A portable programming and pre-visualization tool that allows you to work on the go. Educators and Students: A great way to learn the fundamentals of lighting control. Content Creators & Streamers: Add a professional touch to your livestreams and video productions.
