LOS ANGELES-In these times of increasingly high-tech light shows and rave-like nightclub scenes, mobile DJs expect their lighting gear to provide more excitement, versatility and originality than ever before. That's why American DJ has come out with two highly affordable sound-activated lighting effects-the Confusion and the Color Sweep-that are loaded with extra sizzle and added functionality to set them apart from the pack.
With each unit priced at only $139.95, the Confusion and Color Sweep offer an enormous value and advantage to DJs and clubs who want to get more dazzle for their dime. Even lighting users on very tight budgets will be able to give their performances a special twist with these two beyond-the-basic effects. Here's a closer look at each:
Confusion -- More than just an ordinary multi-colored fixture, the Confusion features a shake effect that's powerful enough to vibrate an entire room. Its bright, dichroic beams shake and rotate to the beat of the music, creating a highly energized environment. A mini controller is included to turn the shake effect on/off, making the Confusion versatile and easy to operate. There's also a sensitivity adjustment knob, which allows users to control the degree to which the sound-activated effect responds to the beat of the music.
Featuring five dichroic colors, the Confusion produces beams that are extremely bright, giving it the capability of covering wide areas. This adaptable effect can work its magic in spaces of all sizes, from tiny backroom dance floors to huge nightclubs
Color Sweep -- The Color Sweep produces extremely powerful, razor-sharp, color-changing beams that sweep across the room like the bristles of some psychedelic push broom. It generates five eye-popping colors (plus white) through nine lenses for a dramatic effect. Chasing and strobing effects are included on the unit to offer added excitement, versatility and value to DJs.
The Color Sweep comes with a speed control that can be used to tailor the rate of the effect to suit various tempos and styles of dance music. Like the Confusion, it covers a wide area and can easily fill large and small venues alike.
"Both the Confusion and Color Sweep give more bang for the buck by performing in multifaceted ways that go beyond what you'd expect from typical entry-priced DJ lighting effects," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Cos. "At American DJ, we're always finding new ways to give DJs and nightclubs that little extra something that lets them put a unique twist on their performances and maximize the thrill and originality of their light shows-without minimizing their bank balances."
The Confusion measures 12"L x 10"W x 8.5"H and weighs 22 lbs. The unit is fan-cooled and comes with a 250-watt, 24-volt ZB-EHJ lamp. The suggested retail price of the Confusion is $139.95.
The Color Sweep is 14.5"L x 14.5"W x 8.5"H and weighs 25 lbs. A 400-watt, 36-volt LL-EVD lamp is included with the Color Sweep. The suggested retail price of the Color Sweep is $139.95.
