This is a Bowens Quad X Two Head Studio Kit, which is built around the QuadX 3000 Generator power pack. The pack uses capacitor switching to ensure total color consistency. The power control can be adjusted in accurate 1/3 f/stops, which makes it perfect for digital work. The overall power of the pack can be reduced using a system of capacitor switching. By reducing the number of capacitors being used, a greater level of color consistency can be achieved. In practice this means that the QuadX 3000 can be switched from 3000 down to 250 w/s with less than 200°K shift in color temperature.
The QuadX 3000 offers two recycling speeds. Set to fast, the QuadX will keep pace with the most demanding shooters, and at the slow speed, the QUAD will limit the power drain allowing it to be used in most locations.
The Bowens QuadX series of flash heads work perfectly with the Bowens QuadX flash power packs. They are fan-cooled for constant use, and each features a 4 Amp fuse.
