Alcor Parabolic 178
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Parabolics reward precision and punish pretenders; the Alcor is precise — measured beam maps at three positions, silver that keeps its colour, and ribs that replace one by one instead of retiring the instrument.
Light is shaped at the last metre, so the last metre gets the best materials: silver and white textiles woven and measured for even spread, diffusion in graded weights that stay neutral, and frames that open in seconds and survive years of vans. Every modifier is measured on our photometric bench — the beam pattern in the listing is the beam pattern in the box.

Care
Open and close by the hub, not the ribs; keep speedrings matched to their fixture; and shake dust from grids rather than washing them. Fabrics keep their neutrality for years if they travel in their sleeves.
Questions, Answered
How repeatable is the focus effect on the parabolics?
The rod is indexed — note the number, repeat the look. Beam maps at three rod positions ship in the box.
Grids included?
Where the listing says so; otherwise they are options. Grid angles are true to label — measured, not rounded.
