Thanks for showing us your confidence by investing in an AcuteB Head. For more than three  
decadeswehavesoughttheperfectlight.Whatpushesusistheconvictionthatwecanoffereven  
themost demandingphotographeryet better tools.  
Beforeourproductsareshippedwehavethempassanextensiveandstricttestingprogram.We  
checkthattheypassthequalityandcapacitylevelsthemostdemandingphotographersrequire.  
For this reason our flash equipment is the standard in most rental studios in NewYork andTokyo  
andthemostrented flash all over theworld.  
Qualityoflight  
The Profoto system consists of different generators built and designed to meet the needs of  
the most demanding photographers. Yet the most important thing is the light you create, and  
it is essential that the system you use offers the freedom to do that. The light source, both the  
flash tube and the modeling light, is placed high and free in the flash head.This makes it easier  
for you to adjust the light and use your creativity. Most reflectors can be moved forward or  
backward in relation to the optical centre of the light source, effectively narrowing or widening  
the spread of the light and changing the intensity and fall-off characteristics as well. Every  
single reflector and accessory creates its special light and the unique Profoto focusing  
system offers you the possibility to create your own light with only a few different reflectors.  
EnjoyyourProfotoproduct!
