Micro Pack

Micro Pack is the most compact unit in the Drive Hub range. Its power supply and Processor Card are built in, with two slots for the same drive cards as the Card Frame, for lighting loads up to 600W. Use it on its own in a small venue, or as a satellite to a larger Drive Hub system where cabling rules out one central location.

Micro Pack for Drive Hub

Modular

Every drive card works in the Drive Hub Mini Pack and Card Frame, and each frame can run a mix of cards to match your installation.

The web interface sets up each card and the system as a whole, so output levels and control channels are easy to adjust.

Smooth Dimming

GDS has been known for smooth, flicker-free dimming for 20 years, in some of the world’s most prestigious venues.

Drive Hub brings that dimming quality to a whole installation, whether it drives GDS or third-party lights.

DMX/RDM Control

Drive Hub accepts DMX/RDM from external controllers, and the web interface sets the DMX address of every output.

Auxiliary ports connect to daylight sensors, HVAC and fire alarm systems.

Micro Pack

The smallest Drive Hub, for compact and quiet spaces

  • Two drive card slots

    Any Drive Hub drive cards, for loads up to 600W.

  • Power and processor built in

    No separate Power Blocks, so the system is simpler to design and the enclosure stays small.

  • Touchscreen

    Set the unit up on its own screen, or through the web app and RDM.

  • Near-silent

    Low-noise fans for sound-sensitive spaces.

  • Network upgrade

    Add network connection later with the Micro Pack Network Upgrade Module.

  • Satellite unit

    Link to other Drive Hub units over DHP, closer to the fixtures it drives.
