Closer Encounters:American DJ Reveals New Pod Series Moonflower Effects
LOS ANGELES: The Pods have landed. And today, they will open to reveal spectacular space-age brilliance as American DJ releases its new series of four affordable moonflower lighting effects.
Known as "the Pod Series," these out-of-this-world newcomers include the ActivePod, the ColorPod, the RotoPod and the LunarPod -- all next-generation versions of American DJ's classic moonflowers. Great for mobile DJs and clubs, each Pod casts a dazzling moonflower pattern of radiating light beams and is packed with futuristic new features.
Living up to their name, the Pods feature an all-new, high-tech plastic case design that makes them resemble space pods from a campy science-fiction movie. While they may not have actually come from outer space, these Pods look downright otherworldly.
Like advanced extra-terrestrial beings, the ActivePod, ColorPod, RotoPod and LunarPod require little sustenance to perform at peak efficiency. Lightweight and affordable, they operate on low power-consumption. They're also priced to offer more value than ever before in a moonflower effect.
"The Pod Series represents the continued evolution of American DJ's line of best-selling moonflower effects," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Cos. "The ActivePod, ColorPod, RotoPod and LunarPod represent the types of products that have given American DJ its reputation for exceptional value in lighting for the working DJ. With their introduction, American DJ has set a new standard for affordability and ease-of-operation in DJ and club lighting effects."
Now, for a closer encounter with the creatures in the Pod Series:
The ActivePod ($119.95), a multi-colored sound-activated moonflower that creates an eye-popping X-shaped effect. It includes a hanging bracket and lamp (LL-BRL 12V, 50W). The ActivePod measures 10.25" L x 6.5"W x 5.5"H and weighs 6.5 lbs. Optional multi-color Dichroic mirror dishes are also available (models Z-DW, Z-DW1 and Z-DW2, sold separately).
The ColorPod ($99.95) is also a multi-colored, sound-activated moonflower effect, but it creates more of a conventional "shower" of light beams that rotate back and forth to the beat of the music. It comes with a hanging bracket and lamp (LL-BRL 12V, 50W). The ColorPod measures 10.25"L x 6.5"W x 5.5"H and weighs 6.5 lbs. Optional multi-color Dichroic mirror dishes are also available (models Z-DW, Z-DW1 and Z-DW2, sold separately).
The RotoPod ($74.95), a white moonflower that rotates continuously. It includes a hanging bracket and lamp (LL-BRL 12V, 50W). The RotoPod measures10.25"L x 6.5"W x 5.5"H and weighs 6.5 lbs. Optional multi-color Dichroic mirror dishes are also available (models Z-DW, Z-DW1 and Z-DW2, sold separately).
The LunarPod ($59.95), a static white moonflower that operates manually to flash on and off. It comes with a hanging bracket and lamp (LL-BRL 12V, 50W). The LunarPod measures10.25"L x 6.5"W x 5.5"H and weighs 6.5 lbs. Optional multi-color Dichroic mirror dishes are also available (models Z-DW, Z-DW1 and Z-DW2, sold separately).
In addition, the ActivePod and ColorPod feature a 3-position FX switch for extra versatility and convenience. This easy-to-use switch gives users the option of operating in either Static, Continuous Rotation or Sound-Active mode.
One of the best parts about the new Pod Series is that they don't require a degree in rocket-science to operate. DJs can get them up and running at warp speed in no time to create light shows capable of transforming a dance floor or an entire club into a virtual UFO-landing site!
