Our technology

A different approach

We set out to develop a new class of power distribution simply because no one else seemed willing to do so. Better protection for people & equipment, much more resilient, built to last and with extensive monitoring of all electrical parameters.

The stakes in live events and broadcasting are higher than ever before. An electrical issue or a mistake in the setup can have very serious (and costly) consequences. Our systems works with you to ensure that all things electrical is under close control and ready when you need it.

Why RCBO's matter

Standard circuit breakers do a great job of protecting against overloads and short circuits -but they offer no protection against electric shock.

Protection against lost neutral connection

Since most events require large amounts of electrical energy, we tend to use 3-phase electricity. This means a connection with five separate lines.

A better class of circuit breakers

Power distribution has become far more complex, yet many systems still rely on outdated protection components.

Real time system monitoring

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” is a quote attributed to Peter Drucker. This definitely applies to power distribution.

We keep both your equipment and people safe

At StageSmarts, your safety is our top priority. We understand the importance of keeping both your equipment and crew protected from potentially catastrophic overvoltage. That’s why we developed our proprietary Loss of Neutral protection system, which instantly disconnects the unit from the mains supply if voltage levels become excessive. This rapid response keeps both your equipment and personnel safe from the moment you power on.

Our systems continuously monitors voltage so that your gear is protected at all times. Most of our products feature a main meter ahead of the main breaker. This lets you check incoming voltages before applying power to your equipment.

 

Customizable power distribution for every need

At StageSmarts, when developing the smartPDU, our goal was to introduce new functionality while bringing consistency to a fragmented market. Power distribution solutions often vary widely, with different connectors and wiring systems, even for the same type of connector, leading to potential risks.

Our solution is the modular output system, designed to quickly adapt your equipment for different markets and scenarios without locking you into a specific design. This modular approach allows you to customize and upgrade your units over time, increasing their long-term value and flexibility.

With modular outputs, you can easily replace a damaged connector on-site, even during a show. Swap out the faulty module and send only the damaged part for repair, avoiding the need to decommission the entire unit.

We offer a wide range of modules and connectors, including:

  • Single Socapex (standard or Solotech wiring)
  • Dual Socapex (standard or Solotech wiring)
  • Single Harting 16 (6 channels, various wirings)
  • Dual Harting 16 (6 channels, various wirings)
  • Harting 16 (8 channels)
  • Harting 24 (8 channels)
  • Harting 10 (4 channels)
  • Single Neutrik True1
  • Dual Neutrik True1

Note: Not all configurations are available for all products.

Our modular outputs provide the flexibility and reliability you need to adapt quickly and safely, no matter the environment.
