Speedotron introduced its affordable and durable flash lighting system to the U.S. photographic market in 1939. From the beginning, Speedotron equipment was designed and built for the real world. Throughout the years Speedotron products have evolved to meet the changing needs of professional photographers.

Speedotron has continually increased the quality, durability, safety and value that one would expect from the Speedotron name. Photographers through out the country depend upon Brown Line and Black Line systems to make their products pop, people shine and interiors glow.

Even in an ever changing, global marketplace, Speedotron lighting systems are still renowned for delivering years and years of consistent, accurate and dependable power. All Speedotron equipment and systems are made in the U.S.A. from the highest quality components available.

Welcome to Speedotron

Thank you for purchasing Speedotron Black Line equipment.

The name Speedotron is synonymous with professional

workmanship and the finest electronic flash equipment available.

Backed by years of experience, our engineers have developed

the Black Line system to take the rigors of daily professional use

with consistently outstanding results.

For more than 60 years, Speedotron’s reputation has grown

without much fanfare or advertising. Over the years, we have

found that a satisfied user is our best salesman. We are

determined to serve you well and offer the most efficient,

competent and courteous service anywhere.

If this is your first Speedotron purchase, this guide will help

you get the most out of your new equipment. If you’ve

purchased and used our equipment before, much of this

information will be familiar. In either case, we advise going over

this manual thoroughly. It contains vital information on the care

and proper use of all (including the latest) Speedotron products.

This manual is not a photographic handbook; only information

pertinent to basic operation is given. If you have questions about

how to handle a particular lighting situation or other application

that is not discussed, please contact us and we’ll answer your

questions as best we can.

The equipment you have purchased is heavy-duty, durable

equipment that will stand up to continuous use either on

location or in the studio. However, there are certain operating

procedures that should be adhered to insure maximum

performance. Treated with a reasonable care, your Black Line

system will provide you with dependable, consistent, long

lasting service.

Please help us to get to know you and fulfill our obligations

to you. Return the enclosed warranty registration card (found in

the center of this manual) to us immediately. Sending in this

card will validate your warranty and put your name on our

mailing list.
