ADJ is pleased to introduce the new Entour Pileus, a powerful professional atmospheric effects generator that combines high-output fog and fine faze capabilities in one versatile, road-ready unit. Engineered for concerts, festivals, theatrical productions, television studios, and other large-scale entertainment applications, the Entour Pileus delivers exceptional performance, intuitive control, and rugged reliability.
The latest addition to ADJ's popular Entour Series, the Entour Pileus has been designed to provide lighting professionals with maximum flexibility. Using standard water-based fluid, it can generate everything from dense, dramatic plumes of fog to a fine atmospheric mist that enhances the visibility of lighting beams without obscuring performers or scenery. This dual-purpose functionality allows a single machine to adapt to the changing atmospheric requirements of any production.
At the heart of the Entour Pileus is a powerful 1500W heating element capable of producing an impressive output of up to 60,000 cubic feet per minute. Combined with a variable-speed dispersion fan, the machine offers precise control over both atmospheric density and coverage. Fog output and fan speed are independently adjustable from 5% to 100%, allowing users to create anything from subtle haze effects to room-filling bursts of fog.
Despite its immense output, the Entour Pileus is ready to perform in just 16.5 minutes thanks to its fast warm-up system. It can generate continuous maximum output for up to 35 seconds, while an intelligent Continuous Mode automatically regulates fluid consumption to maintain a consistent atmospheric effect for extended periods without interruption.
To maximize versatility, the Entour Pileus features dual 5.6-litre fluid tanks. Operators can fill both tanks and then quickly switch between them mid-show for applications that demand massive output over an extended operating period.
Built for life on the road, the machine is housed within a rugged integrated flight case fitted with locking heavy-duty castors, making transportation and deployment quick and straightforward. It also incorporates an advanced self-cleaning system to reduce maintenance requirements, as well as Over Voltage Protection (OVP) to help safeguard reliable operation in demanding professional environments.
Control is equally comprehensive. An intuitive LCD display with a four-button interface provides access to onboard timer and operating functions, while the fixture can also be controlled via an optional wired remote connected through a 4-pin XLR input. For integration into professional lighting systems, the Entour Pileus offers 5-pin DMX input and output with selectable 1-, 2-, and 4-channel operating modes.
Power is supplied to the unit via two independent locking input connectors, one which supplies the heating element and control electronics, and another dedicated to the fan. This allows the unit to be connected to two independent 120V 15A power circuits to supply the unit’s total maximum power draw of 17.9A in venues where a dedicated 20A circuit is not available.
Atmospheric effects are an essential element of modern entertainment production, and today's professionals need equipment that is both powerful and versatile," comments Alfred Gonzales, ADJ’s Sales Director. "The Entour Pileus has been engineered to deliver exceptional output while giving users complete control over the type of atmosphere they create. Whether you need thick bursts of fog for dramatic moments or a consistent, even haze to enhance lighting effects, this fixture is designed to perform reliably in even the most demanding touring and production environments.
With its combination of impressive output, intelligent performance features, intuitive control options, and rugged touring construction, the Entour Pileus is designed to become an indispensable atmospheric effects solution for production companies, rental inventories, concert venues, theatres, houses of worship, and live event professionals. Delivering both powerful fog and fine faze effects from a single machine, it provides the versatility needed to meet the evolving demands of modern productions.
The ADJ Entour Pileus is available now through ADJ USA and its network of authorized dealers. The unit is due to begin shipping from ADJ Europe in September 2026.
