What LynTec does

LynTec, founded in 1982 and headquartered in the Kansas City metro (Lenexa, Kansas), designs and manufactures intelligent power control, sequencing, conditioning, and distribution products for professional audio, video, and lighting (AVL) installations. The company operates as the Power & Control division within Chauvet Brands, alongside CHAUVET Professional/DJ, Kino Flo, LiteGear, and ChamSys. Its product ecosystem spans web-enabled remote-control breaker panels (RPC, LCP, RPCR series), rack-mount and distributed sequencers (CQ, SQ, NPAC, XPC), lighting control relays (DDR, LCRP), power conditioning and surge protection (RX with patented Hybrid Filter Technology, SGX, SPD), and a full UPS family (KIN, SRA, SCV, SL, SLi), supported by motorized breakers, retrofit kits, current monitoring, and accessories. Native protocol support includes DMX512, RDM, sACN, IP (Telnet/HTTP), and optional BACnet, with deep integrations into Crestron, AMX, and Q-SYS control processors — enabling facility-wide power management across up to 168 circuits from a single web interface.

The business is project-driven and sold exclusively through a manufacturer representative and authorized dealer network, with quote-based enterprise pricing; no direct e-commerce channel exists. Primary revenue comes from hardware sales to AV systems integrators installing in theatres and performing arts venues, houses of worship, broadcast studios, sports arenas, and touring/live event applications, with marquee reference customers including Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Pixar, NASA, Goldman Sachs, MIT, and Willow Creek. Cumulative scale cited by the company includes 13,000+ worldwide installations, 1,200+ theatre/performing arts venues, 3,500+ houses of worship, 400+ broadcast studios, and 150+ arenas. U.S. financing is offered through ShineQqFin and international financing through Chauvet Lighting; the company also markets a free project consultation service with 48-hour spec review and code-compliant submittal support targeted at integrators and facility managers. Juice Goose, acquired as a wholly-owned brand, extends the rack PDU footprint within the LynTec family.

LynTec is privately held under Chauvet Brands (a diversified parent conglomerate) with no public listing, no venture funding activity, and no disclosed management team in the source data. Reported headcount is 1-10, which appears to understate operational scale given the product breadth and global install base — likely reflecting only directly enumerated LynTec personnel with shared functions across the parent. Headquartered in the U.S., the company certifies products to UL 924 (emergency egress), UL 1449 (surge protection), and UL 1778 (UPS), establishing regulatory positioning for code-driven commercial installations.

Core offering

LynTec designs and manufactures intelligent power control, sequencing, conditioning, and distribution hardware for professional audio, video, and lighting (AVL) installations. Its product ecosystem spans web-enabled circuit breaker panels (RPC/LCP/LC series), rack-mount power sequencers and PDUs (CQ, SQ, NPAC, XPC, JG, PD, RP series), surge protection and power conditioning (RX, SGX, SPD series), and UPS battery backup (KIN, SRA, SCV, SL, SLi series), all controllable via native DMX512, RDM, sACN, IP, and optional BACnet protocols for integration with third-party control systems like Crestron, AMX, and Q-SYS.

Product overview

LynTec delivers a unified power control ecosystem spanning from circuit breaker panels to rack power and sequencing for professional AV and lighting systems. The core product line includes the RPC (Remote Control Breaker Panel) and LCP (Lighting Control Panel) series as the flagship web-enabled, network-controllable breaker management systems supporting DMX, sACN, IP, and optional BACnet protocols. Supporting the panel-level systems is the NPAC and XPC series for rack-mount and distributed power control, the CQ and SQ series for power sequencing, and JG/RP/PD series for rack power distribution. The product line extends through power conditioning and surge protection (RX, SGX, SPD series), UPS battery backup (KIN, SRA, SCV, SL, SLi series), and comprehensive accessory ecosystems including motorized breakers, remote controls, safety switches, current monitoring, and connectivity accessories. This modular architecture allows integrators to design scalable solutions from single-rack sequencing to facility-wide 168+ circuit management, all controllable through unified web interfaces or integrated third-party control systems.

Broad incumbents

• Furman / Core Brands parent: Nice (Nortek/Control4): Nice (formerly Nortek/Control4) owns Core Brands, which includes Furman and other AV power and control brands; it competes with LynTec as a smart-building and AV control conglomerate with broader portfolio reach.
• APC by Schneider Electric: APC competes with LynTec's UPS lines (KIN, SRA, SCV, SL, SLi) in rack-mount backup power, with significantly broader IT and data-center reach and channel depth.
• Eaton: Eaton is a broad electrical power management incumbent whose switchgear, UPS, and surge protection portfolios compete with LynTec on commercial and entertainment venue specifications.
• AtlasIED: AtlasIED is a broader commercial AV incumbent offering mass notification, paging, and integrated audio solutions that touch on LynTec's venue customer base, with some overlap in facility-wide power and control for stadiums and arenas.

Others

• ChamSys (Chauvet Brands): ChamSys is a sister brand within Chauvet Brands focused on lighting consoles and control; it shares dealer channels and the same end customers as LynTec but does not directly compete on power hardware.
