It accepts plug-in dimmer modules and hot modules to manage a wide range of lighting loads, with rear Socapex inputs feeding a patch panel and multiple Socapex outputs.

Who makes the Art 2000 and where does it sit in their product range?
The Art 2000 is made by Avolites, a British manufacturer of lighting and visual control systems founded in 1976 and based in London. Avolites became part of Czech manufacturer Robe in 2023. The Art 2000 sits within the dimming side of the Avolites portfolio, complementing the company's console and media server lines as a rack-mounted power and dimming solution for professional touring and installation work.
What are the key technical features of the Art 2000 Plus?
The Art 2000 Plus accommodates four plug-in modules, each providing 12 channels at 16 amps, for a total of 48 individually controllable channels. Dimmer channels operate at a 100% duty cycle with a 250 microsecond rise time for precise control. Connectivity includes Powerlock input and through connections alongside Socapex inputs and outputs via a rear patch panel, and each module has RCD protection with a key switch for safety.
What should I check when buying a second-hand Art 2000?
Check which modules are fitted: units appear with combinations of 12-channel 16A dimmer modules and 12-channel hot modules, and the total channel count and module type affect usability and value. Confirm whether patchcords and Powerlock or Socapex connectors are included, as these vary between units. Condition ranges from ex-rental to very good; 10K Used listings carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults, and full buying guidance is at https://www.10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
What drives the price of a used Art 2000?
Used Art 2000 pricing depends on the specific configuration: whether it is a standard or Plus variant, how many dimmer and hot modules are fitted, overall condition, and what ancillary components such as patchcords and connectors are included. Ex-rental units in good working order typically sit lower than lightly used examples in very good condition.
