Symmetrical power distribution
The Digital RX power packs deliver symmetrical power distribution when the same type of
ashhead is used for both power pack outlets. For example 2x Digital S or 2x A 3000 N head.
Asymmetrical power distribution
It is possible to set asymmetrical power distribution by using two different heads like
1x Digital S and 1x A3000N head. Instead of a 50% - 50% split, this head combination splits
into 75% for the A-head and 25% for the S-head.
This is 1,5 f-stops more ash power for this A-head.
Note: The A-heads are used for action freezing photography; therefore the ash tube is made
differently to any other EL-ashhead. A-tubes draw power very rapidly, with the effect that 25%
power is left for the S-head types.
