Lighting Effects Machines

(Originally written by djpioneer/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Hi, I bought it in October 2008 but I had already tested it before. I did a thorough research on the web to find "my precious" and I think I found it. Why? No heater and no compressor which means: No odor No noise It virtually never gets dirty No residues or deposits Extremely low power consumption (250 watts) Extremely low fluid consumption (approx. half a gallon, 2 lt, per 130 operating hours) Light weight (19.8 lb.) Very compact (small cube of 11.8" per side fitting in a vinyl flightcase). Integrated 2 liter (approx. half a gallon) tank. Automatic circuit-cleaning system when you turn off the unit. The things I like least: - The price - The optional DMX module without on/off mode implementation (this means it's even simpler to use 0/10-volt control signal) - The fixed power chord (I prefer a detachable power chord for Powercon). I give it 9/10 because of this. I previously owned units with heater. They always generated some sort of odor and had excessive fluid consumption. The value for money isn't excellent. This is a professional product so it is expensive but it will be paid off very quickly because of all the advantages mentioned above. Especially regarding consumption. Based on my experienced... I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Before buying it I had only one concern: the price. But when I think about it, I believe every light show system should be equipped with this unit. A good fog machine emphasizes every lighting system, even a low-cost unit made in China. With scans it's a real pleasure. The MVS model is used for bigger venues (Lion King or Liane Folie shows) because of the higher flow and its extended DMX implementation. It's lots of fun...

This Fog machine gives a thrilling experience in any party. This created a special mysterious type of entrance during my birthday party. Very cool! Eyes were all on me. Antari Z-1200 II is the real deal here! This fog generator is sporting a 1200-watt header that allows impactful 18,000 cubic foot output per minute. Also, this entry-level of Z-Series II can create fog from a compact unit that operates on a standard 120V outlet. For bookings, you may contact: info@propsav.com. PROPSAV used this during my party and they made the party I had in mind come to life.

(Originally written by djclemof64/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've used it just one time. It's just awesome. I tested a 700-watt Starway and it's not comparable!! Excellent value for money. Great design. Tip: Place a moving head under it to raise the front side and spread the fog upwards. Update after two months of use: Good fog machine but the efficiency decreases with time. It doesn't have the quality of a Martin Magnum but it's enough for small locations. I lower my grade from 10 to 8 because of this.

(Originally written by asseoa/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I used it for the first time last weekend in a 1000 ft² room. 70 persons. I had already used the magnum 2000. Summary: Pro: weight Pro: size Pro: easy setup Pro: consumption!!!!!!!!! pro: fog dispersion Pro: almost nonstop use possible! (short warm up time) Con: no fixation arch like on the 550 Con: no DMX control! Regarding consumption Impressive! I filled the whole room with fog during 4 or 5 hours with only one 10 cl ZR Pro container!! So it's almost impossible to empty the 1 liter tank of the machine! Summary I strongly recommend this machine! Amazing value for money. It has no disadvantages except for the lack of DMX control...

(Originally written by Anachrist/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've been using it for one year. I like a lot the fog's opacity and quality. Perfect for small venues (I used it in a small room and on stage at a dance gala). Magnetic small remote control. Cons: long warm up time, which can be a bit inconvenient sometimes. The remote's cable is too short. In spite of all this it's a good fog machine considering its small price! I would buy it again as long as I don't have to cover bigger venues.

(Originally written by serialdj/translated from Audiofanzine FR) - How long have you been using it? Four months - Which feature do you like the most / the least? Pro: price Con: no DMX control - Did you try any other models before buying it? No, I wanted the most compact fog machine. - How would you rate its value for money? Quite good for what I use it for - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? No, I would buy a Jem fog machine Edit: It just got broken. It started clogging more often and when I removed the nozzle there were hot brown droplets coming out really fast (very dangerous). Summary: low-quality product!

(Originally written by damjour02/translated from Audiofanzine FR) - How long have you been using it? I tested this unit at a big party. - Which feature do you like the most / the least? Pro: Impressive flow! Con: too heavy (35.3 lb.) - Did you try any other models before buying it? Yes about 5 models, smaller and bigger ones. - How would you rate its value for money? Very competitive value for money. - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? Yes absolutely! Does this unit need intensive care? I don't know because it was lent to me for only one event. The guy who lent it to me said it doesn't need a lot of care and the user's manual shows it has a big heater and a powerful pump to avoid obstructions. - Describe the power output of the unit. It's a very powerful smog machine (3000 watts). I turned it on outdoors for about 30 seconds in front of my car and I couldn't see my car anymore (with high-density smog). As a conclusion, I strongly recommend this fog machine. Its price is very appealing and ts easy to control thanks to the provided wireless remote control and its integrated control panel.
