LOS ANGELES -- American DJ Supply has introduced a compact 4-channel lighting controller that's equally "at home" on the go or in permanent installations. The new T-4 sound-to-chase controller features an innovative easy-mount T-bar case design, which makes it ideal for lighting contractors and installers as well as mobile DJs.
Offering many similar features as American DJ's popular CC-500 controller, the T-4 will control and coordinate the movements of up to four fixtures, allowing DJs and clubs to put on a superb light show. However, the versatile T-4 goes a step beyond conventional DJ lighting controllers with its specially-designed contractor casing and hanging bracket.
The adaptable hanging bracket allows the T-4 to be easily installed in a variety of permanent applications. It can be placed on a tripod, for example, hung on a two-by-four or attached to a pipe.
"American DJ introduced the T-4, because we saw the need for a DJ-type lighting controller that could also meet the needs of contractors and installers," said Scott Davies, general manager of American DJ Supply. "With its T-bar design and hanging bracket, the T-4 can be configured as a component of any permanent lighting setup, without requiring fancy installation work."
At the same time, the T-4's lightweight construction and convenient "plug-and-go" operation make it great for portable use by mobile DJs. "The T-4 was designed to give users different options," Davies explained. "DJs will find that its hanging bracket comes in handy if they want to mount it on a light stand, for example, or they can use it as they would any mobile-type controller.
"Because of this versatility, the T-4 is also a great unit for dealers to stock and sell," Davies pointed out. "A retailer can't go wrong carrying this controller, because it can be sold to so many different types of customers."
The T-4 Controller is also designed to be versatile in another way -- it can control lighting movements in either Audio or Chase modes. Users can instantly shift between the two modes with the flick of a switch.
When in the Audio Mode, the T-4 will execute light patterns to the beat of the music. It comes equipped with a built-in microphone for sound-activation. In the Chase Mode, the controller will orchestrate lighting effects to its own pre-programmed chase patterns. There are 16 different chase patterns built into the unit, as well as a speed knob for controlling chases from slow to fast.
The T-4's highly affordable price -- just $79.95 manufacturers suggested retail -- is also something that both DJs and contractors will appreciate. The controller includes four 3-prong plugs (one per channel) and has a maximum output of 500 watts per channel. It measures a compact 8"x 5-1/2"x 2" and is available in 120V or 220V operation.
