Brilliant Buys! Four New Multi-Effects Packages From American DJ Make DJ/Club/Party Light Shows Easy And Economical

LOS ANGELES - Now any DJ, club owner or home party host can have a dazzling multi-effects light show at their fingertips without reaching too deeply into their pocketbook. American DJ has introduced four new lighting packages - the Party Pak, DJ Pak, Mobile Effects Pak, and Advanced Effects Pak - each of which contains an assortment of several of the company's most popular special effects at one great money-saving price.

Covering a broad spectrum of budgets and needs, the Party Pak, DJ Pak, Mobile Effects Pak and Advanced Effects Pak feature products that are designed to work together synergistically to create the ultimate high-impact visual excitement. All of the effects in the packages are also extremely easy to operate, making it virtually a "no-brainer" to put on a professional light show.

"With these new lighting packages, DJs, clubs and party hosts can get an entire tool chest of special effects at a much better price than if they purchased the units individually," said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Cos. "The products in each package were chosen to complement one another, so the user will be getting a terrific light show ensemble in which the `whole' is definitely greater than the sum of the parts."

In addition to providing a great value, the packages will save DJs and club owners time when putting together a lighting set-up, Davies added, since they won't have to shop around looking for effects that work well together. "They can just choose one of the four packages that best suits their needs," he pointed out.

Here's a closer look at the four new all-in-one lighting packages from American DJ:

DJ Pak --- Ideal for new lighting users or anyone who wants a basic, compact, highly affordable professional set-up, the DJ Pak features four must-have club effects - a strobe light, fog machine, gobo wheel, and sound activated multi-beam projector. Included in the DJ Pak are:

Big Shot - A 45-watt compact strobe light with adjustable flash speed that ranges from 1-15 flashes per second. Weighing just 2 lbs. and measuring 5" x 6" x 6", the Big Shot can also be used with optional interchangeable plastic colored lenses available in red, blue, green and yellow (sold separately.)

Mini Fog - A compact 400-watt fog machine with an output of 2000 cubic feet per minute. An instant mood setter when used on its own, the Mini Fog is also great for enhancing the appearance of the other effects in the package!

Titan - A mini gobo wheel that slowly rotates through beveled glass and projects a pattern onto a multi-colored dichroic dish. Includes effects switch that allows the Titan to be used in three modes -- sound-active, rotating head or still head - for added versatility.

Mini-Gressor II -- A scaled-down version of American DJ's super-popular Aggressor effect, the Mini-Gressor II features 16 lenses that create 32 multi-colored beams - all moving to the beat of the music!

The suggested retail price of the DJ Pak is $419.95.

Mobile Effects Pak -- A versatile and diverse collection of four different types of special effects, the Mobile Effects Pak also includes two easy-to-use lighting controllers that can be used to control and synchronize the chase speed of the units. Included in the Mobile Effects Pak are:

Electra II - A compact sound-activated multi-colored moonflower effect with both an outside and internal mirror. Can be used in three modes: full rotation, static or sound active.

Cosmic -- A rotating ball that products 52 rich, sharp beams of multi-colored light that criss-cross one another. Features built-in programs and can be used in two sound-activated modes: Slow Sound Active or Fast Sound Active.

Groove Wheel -- A professional oil wheel projector that creates multi-colored `60s and `70s style psychedelic patterns on walls or any surface.

Dual Gem - Two multi-colored moonflower effects in one! The Dual Gem features dual lenses, which produce a shower of beams that rotate back and forth to the beat of the music. It comes in a compact case that weighs only 6 lbs. and measures 9.25" x 11" x 4.5".

Advanced Effects Pak -- Four effects that produce unsurpassed lighting excitement, with lots of movement and a broad coverage area that makes them ideal for larger venues. Two of the effects - the Reflex and Roto-Balls -- are actually two-in-one units! The Advanced Effects Pak also includes two Light Saver controllers. Featured in the Advanced Effects Pak are:

Saga - A moonflower effect with an impressive 18 gobo/color combinations. Covering a wide area, the Saga's beams rotate back and forth and change gobos/colors. Two FX switches provide control over the effect's rotating gobo/color wheel and rotating mirror dish.

Reflex - A two-in-one effect, the Reflex features two scanning mirrors that produce gyrating multi-colored beams of light. The rotating beams reflect off a mirror that also rotates back and forth to create unusual motion and eye-popping visual excitement.

Roto-Balls - Also a two-in-one unit, this dazzling effect includes two sphere-shaped heads filled with tiny colored lenses that produce a total of 104 razor-sharp beams. Spinning and rotating, the multi-colored beams provide a dynamic effect that's great with today's high-energy music.
