American DJ Introduces Event Bar DMX

American DJ's new Event Bar DMX.is an all-in-one LED scanning light system featuring four bright white 3W LED pinspots mounted on an X-Y movement bar.

Designed as a turnkey lighting system for nightclubs, stage productions, concerts, mobile entertainers, retail displays, trade shows, and special events, the Event Bar DMX is easy to set up and operate, the company says. Featuring full DMX control, each of its four heads operates independently of the others and has its own strobe effect and 0-100% dimming capabilities. With a pan 360 degrees and tilt of 270 degrees, this four-headed scanning system also provides broad, sweeping coverage with white beams. The lamps come with a standard 12-degree beam angle, but, as an added option, a six-degree beam angle is also included. "The Event Bar DMX is a true, go-anywhere scanning light system that has virtually endless uses," said Alfred Gonzales, national sales manager for American DJ. "One of its coolest features is that it has a strobe effect and dimming on each pinspot head, so each of the heads can be operated independently of the others to create different effects. As an all-in-one system, it's also very convenient, portable and offers great value."

Featuring both DMX and manual control, the Event Bar DMX can run in four different modes: DMX-512, stand-alone, sound-activated or master-slave. When in DMX mode, it utilizes up to 25 channels and operates just like a traditional scanner in that users can control the pan and tilt on each individual head independently.

The product also features a number of built-in programs when run in sound-active mode or when accessed as macros via DMX. The company says they run smoothly and quickly thanks to the unit's eight motors. A bright display makes it easy to navigate through DMX settings and access the internal program, the company says.

Equipped with three-pin XLR connectors and four-piece daisy chain power connect, the Event Bar DMX can be run in multiples at nightclubs and discos to create a programmed light show at a fraction of the cost of using individual high-power scanners, the company says.

The Event Bar DMX measures 39" x 3" x 8" and weighs 16.8 pounds. It is fan-cooled and features multi-voltage operation: 100V-240V, 50/60Hz.
