ADJ's Asteroid 1200: Going IntergalacticWhen it comes to centerpiece effects, the modern mobile lighting user wants something flexible, capable delivering unique, widespread displays, and transporting audiences to another world, no matter what venue or event they work. While remaining compact and cost-effective, the versatile new Asteroid 1200 from ADJ does all this and more, providing hypnotic pixel-mappable visuals that the company says "really do come from another planet." A spherical centerpiece effect that boasts a powerful 180W quad-color LED source and 360-degree continuous rotation of head and yoke, the room-filling Asteroid 1200 generates mesmeric displays of multi-beam effects that bring energy, color, and movement to the dance-floor. As well as being fitted with 12 15W RGBW LEDs, the unit offers a super-tight 4-degree beam angle, so users can create sharp, well-defined beams that look incredible when enhanced with fog and haze. Completing the package, the unit's individually controllable pan and tilt rotation allows users to fill the air with slicing color beams, the unit's continuous, multi-directional movement ensuring a spellbinding display that's both high-energy and relentless. ADJ's new Asteroid 1200 also provides advanced lens optics to guarantee vivid multi-beam effects that aren't blighted by RGBW shadows. These effects can then be easily intensified with the unit's strobe settings, allowing users to take their events up a gear and cater to younger crowds looking for that high-energy nightclub atmosphere. "Our new Asteroid 1200 is an intelligent, modern rethink of the classic mirror-ball effect loved by club owners, lighting users, and mobile entertainers alike," explained Alfred Gonzales, national sales manager for ADJ USA. "Not only is it incredibly powerful, but its RGBW LEDs and continuous multi-directional pan/tilt movement ensure colorful, room-filling, 360-degree displays that make this awesome new effect the ideal centerpiece." Exemplifying the adaptability offered by ADJ products, the new Asteroid 1200 can be controlled in a number of ways, having been designed as a flexible and accessible lighting effect for a wide range of users. Whether being used by DJs -- as a powerful centerpiece effect for their mobile rig -- or event organizers -- who want multiple units to bring pure lighting excitement to a wider area -- the Asteroid 1200 lets them do so easily and without the need for complex programing. Aside from utilizing its sound active and auto modes, users can also operate the Asteroid 1200 in an expansive DMX-controlled mode, offering 18-, 20- and 69-channel settings that provide unbridled access to a wide range of settings and features. For those experienced lighting designers and other users who want to get super inventive, the unit also offers pixel-mapping capabilities, for the creation of distinctive pixel-mapped chases and patterns using DMX, Art-Net, or KlingNet control protocols. So, whether they're DJs with passion for programing or lighting designers with professional credentials, users can produce something out of this world for their audiences and guests. The flexibility of the Asteroid 1200 doesn't end there, however. ADJ has ensured that the unit is both lightweight and compact, so users can take it out on the road with them as part of a mobile setup, or install it as a permanent fixture in bars, small clubs, bowling centers, and other venues. Boasting compact dimensions 15.7" x 17.7" x 23.6" (400mm x 450mm x 600mm) and weighing in at a modest 48.5lbs (22kg), the Asteroid 1200 is portable and easy to move; the perfect addition to any mobile rig and ideal for one-man teams that want to bring room-filling displays of color lighting to the events they work. Furthermore, ADJ has fitted the unit with PowerCon in/out connections, offering added reliability when power-linking multiple Asteroid 1200 units. Utilizing infinite dual-direction rotation and a powerful quad-color LED source, the inventive new Asteroid 1200 is the perfect centerpiece effect, giving users the power to create room-filling displays of sharp beams and pixel-mapped patterns that will take guests to another dimension. Equally as impactful when used in multiples, ADJ has ensured that this awesome spherical effect can be utilized for a wide range of applications, providing versatility, power, and portability at a budget-friendly price point.
