Frequently asked questions
What is B-stock and does it affect performance?
B-stock means the unit is open-box, refurbished, or has cosmetic imperfections, but all electronic components and performance are identical to new. The P3-175 processes 520,000 pixels and 2,000 fixtures at full 16-bit depth regardless of stock status.
Will either unit handle large touring rigs?
Yes, both are designed for mid-to-large scale installations. The 2,000-fixture capacity and expandability via additional P3-175 units make either suitable for touring operations and complex architectural lighting.
What warranty differences exist?
The new unit typically includes full manufacturer warranty coverage, while B-stock may have limited or store-specific warranty terms. Confirm B-stock warranty details before purchasing if coverage is critical.
