What the Sunbeam Lightbus can't do, namely programming of lighting effects, is no problem for mCubed's T-Balancer. Its channels can be assigned a variety of different effects via USB and an easy-to-use software program. The controller comes as either an external box or an internal expansion card, both of which employ the same basic hardware. Mechanically, the internal T-Balancer looks like a PCI card, but it has no connection with the PCI bus. The connection is accomplished via USB port. Our complete T-Balancer test may be found here .
