The Right Chemistry:American DJs Nitro ExplodesWith Pulsating Gobos LOS ANGELES -- Nitroglycerin is a highly volatile chemical used to make dynamite, which is how the new, explosive "Nitro" effect from American DJ got its name. A sound-activated DMX-compatible moonflower, the Nitro features gobo patterns that not only rotate, they actually pulsate and vibrate, triggering off a chain reaction of special-effects lighting excitement.Like nitroglycerin, which explodes on contact with heat, the Nitros gobo patterns will literally explode upon hitting the floor and give off a unique pulsating effect. Shimmying and vibrating across the room, the pulsating gobos will fire up the electricity in any environment. The innovative pulsating effect is caused by the Nitros internal ability to "overlay" gobo patterns. This causes the gobos to fade and disintegrate on top of one another. Operating on a similar visual principle to cartoon animation, this magical movement causes the gobos to appear almost "life-like" as they quiver and dance to the beat of the music.To add to the visual excitement, the Nitros gobo patterns automatically change every 5-7 seconds. The effect comes equipped with seven gobo patterns plus spot in vivid, multi-dichroic colors.Not only do the gobos pulsate, the Nitros moonflower beams also rotate back and forth to the music. As the music plays, the brilliant moonflower beams sweep across the floor and can cover a large area, turning any size club or venue into an "Electric Avenue.""The combination of rotating and pulsating gobos make the Nitro a great effect for DJs and clubs that want to present a super high-energy light show," said Scott Davies, general manager of American DJ. "The moonflower rays fill the room, while the pulsating gobos appear on its floors and walls, giving you the feeling of being surrounded by almost breathing or life-like shapes."Although the Nitro is packed with enough power to single-handedly produce an electrifying light show, it is linkable and can also be operated with a DMX controller. DJs and clubs can add extra arsenal to their army of special effects by using the Nitro in conjunction with other units to create a truly combustible light show.One thing the Nitro wont blast is a hole in the wallet. For all its visual action and excitement, it is priced at a highly affordable $279.95."Like all our effects, the Nitro has been designed with the working DJ and average club in mind," said Davies. "In addition to being economical, it is an extremely easy-to-use piece of equipment."The Nitro features a single rotating gobo/color wheel. It includes a hanging bracket for easy installation. Weight is 21 lbs., and dimensions are 12.25" X 13.5" X 9.75". Lamp: ELC/24v-250w.For more information, contact American DJ at 1-800-322-6337.
