Martin Exterior DC-Feeder

Martin Exterior DC-Feeder

The Martin Exterior DC-Feeder is a smart, multi-protocol driver box for the Exterior Dot-1/4/9 Pro series. Its compact design and IP66 rating make it perfectly suited for discrete installations of Exterior Dot-1/4/9 Pro strings. The Exterior DC-Feeder provides the string with clean, regulated power, even if the power supply is located at significant distances from the fixture. The Exterior DC-Feeder is compatible with P3 PowerPort 2000, P3 PowerPort 500 IP, DCE PSU 240 IP, and third-party 48 VDC power supplies.

Unifying unparalleled performance, adaptability, and intuitive operation, the Exterior Dot Pro family doesn’t just enable lighting designers and professionals to surpass the limitations of traditional systems, it inspires them to redefine the boundaries of creative video design.
