LOS ANGELES - Now there's no excuse for even the most budget-minded DJ or club to do without the cutting-edge fireworks of an intelligent moving head light show. American DJ has introduced the DJ Spot 250, a 250-watt DMX halogen moving head effect with an amazingly affordable manufacturers suggested retail price of just $559.95.
Designed for mobile DJs and smaller clubs, the DJ Spot 250 delivers this incredible economy by substituting a (still very bright) halogen lamp for the much pricier discharge lamps found on moving heads used by larger venues. Beaming out a brilliant 250 watts of illumination, the DJ Spot 250's halogen lamp packs enough power to light up a neighborhood club, bar or dance floor, without "blindsiding" the end-user's budget.
"American DJ is always striving to make the latest lighting technology available to our core customers -- mobile DJs, working bands and small clubs," said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group Of Companies. "These lighting users were telling us they wanted to join the trend to moving head effects, but without having to pay a thousand dollars or more for a fixture.
"So we came up with the idea of designing a moving head with a less expensive halogen lamp. The DJ Spot 250 provides sufficient brightness for the average DJ or club's needs, plus it's got 360-degree moving head rotation, DMX compatibility and all the other features they want - all at a price they can afford."
In true moving head fashion, the DJ Spot 250 will blast out 3-D like effects to every area and corner of a room or dance floor. Its rotating yoke provides extremely fast, smooth movement, allowing for the seamless transition of its many gobo patterns and colors.
The DJ Spot 250 comes equipped with 10 gobo patterns (plus spot) for an endlessly fascinating array of images. It can produce 7 brilliant, jewel-like colors plus white. Its white images are extra clean and crisp, thanks to a white color correction filter that's included on the fixture.
For added excitement, the DJ Spot 250 also features a Gobo Shake Effect. Additionally, it will strobe in every color, allowing users to add some eye-popping flash to their light show.
The DJ Spot 250 features 6 DMX channels and can be operated as an intelligent effect with any standard DMX-512 controller. A bright, readable Digital Display allows for easy DMX setup. To provide greater versatility, the DJ Spot 250 can also be operated in Stand-Alone Mode as a sound-activated effect, moving to the beat of the music.
Another feature users will appreciate is that the DJ Spot 250 does not have to be run in on-off duty cycles to prevent overheating, as many lighting effects do. It comes equipped with a high-velocity cooling fan that allows for continuous use . . . so there's no interruption to the DJ Spot 250's high-charged moving head excitement!
The DJ Spot 250 measures 18"L x 14.5"W x 12"H and weighs 25 lbs. An LL-EHJ 24 volt 250-watt lamp is included with the fixture. The suggested retail price of the DJ Spot 250 is $559.95.
To add even greater convenience and help DJs protect their investment, American DJ has come out with a custom case for the DJ Spot 250 called the MH Case 2x (sold separately, MSRP $239.95). Designed to fit the DJ Spot 250 and the Auto Spot 150, the MH Case 2x can hold two units plus cables and controller. It features heavy-duty handles and wheels for easy transportation.
