The Acute2 system consists of the following products:

Generators:Acute2 1200, Acute2 2400

Heads: Acute2 head, Acute2 twin, Acute2 ring

All Profoto reflectors and accessories fit the Acute2 system.

Thanks for showing us your confidence by investing in an Acute2 system. For more than

three decades we have sought the perfect light. What pushes us is the conviction that we can

offer even the most demanding photographer yet better tools.

Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing pro-

gram. We check that they pass the quality and capacity levels the most demanding photog-

raphers require. For this reason our flash equipment is the standard in most rental studios

in New York and Tokyo and the most rented flash all over the world. The system consists

of a variety of generators built and designed to meet the demands of the most demanding

photographers on this planet. Yet the most important thing is the light you create and it is

then essential that the system offers freedom to create your own light. The Acute2 heads in

particular offer you this possibility . The light source, both the flash tube and the modelling

light, is placed high and free in the flash head. This makes it easier for you to adjust the light

and use your creativity. The reflectors are moveable and lock easily into place. By moving

the position of the reflector you can get a higher or lower concentration of light in the center

or more of a flood light. This is not new, of course. Our flash heads have always been designed

that way. What is new, however, is our new glass cover, which is designed to increase preci-

sion. The Acute2 head and the Acute2 twin are supplied with a frosted and UV-coated cover

glass, which together with the flash tube, produce a colour temperature adapted to daylight

colour film. There are glass covers with varying filtration, for greater diversity.

The whole Acute2 system is modular. Every single reflector and accessory creates its

special light and the unique Profoto focusing system offers you a possibility to create your

own light with only a few different reflectors.

Thanks!

”A photographer’s tools are a natural part of the crea-

tive process. Like a painter’s brush, an artist’s chisel or

a musician’s instrument, their form and design should

reflect their function, they should have the right feel, and

they should be aesthetically pleasing”.

Profotos founders Eckhard Heine och Conny Dufgran,

The Acute2 series

The system chart shows how the wide Profoto

line of accessories fit together with generators

and heads. Reflectors and heads can be combined

in a number of varieties. The common denomi-

nator is the lamp head diameter, which is the

base of the Profoto line of products. The lines

indicate the possible combinations that Profoto

equipment offers.

The flash heads

All Profoto lamp heads are designed for maximum light shap-

ing purposes. The light source (both the flash tube and the mod-

elling lamp) is mounted high and free in the flash head. This

makes it easier for you to adjust the light and use your creativity.

The flash head has a built in holder for the umbrella.

The reflectors lock easily into place and by moving the reflector

different types of light shaping is achieved. All Profoto reflec-

tors and accessories fit the Acute2 heads.

A UV-reduced quartz flash tube is included with all Acute2

heads. The flash tube has two metal pins. When removing a

flash tube, pull it straight out of the sockets. When inserting

a new flash tube, check that the trigger wire clasps properly

around the flash tube (please see mounting instructions in pack-

age).

In case the head overheats the modelling light automatically

switches off. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently the

modelling light will switch on again.

NOTE!

Always unplug the lamp cable from the generator before chang-

ing modelling lamp or flash tube.
