"Green lasers are what everyone wants right now - their shorter wavelength makes them appear much brighter than red laser beams and they travel farther," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. "But unfortunately green lasers are also harder to make than red lasers and require a special diode, which has often put them out of reach price-wise for DJs and smaller clubs.
"American DJ has been constantly working to bring down the cost of green lasers," added Davies. "These new additions to our Emerald series make it more affordable than ever to put on a dazzling green laser show."
Emerald Sky is a twin green laser effect with dual 4.9mW lasers that features 16 spinning mirrors that create a variety of 'liquid sky' effects. Equipped with two DMX channels, as well as built-in stand-alone programmes, the Emerald Sky can be operated in four modes: DMX, auto, sound active and master-slave. It features an audio sensitivity adjustment knob for sound-active operation.
Emerald Scan II combines a 4.9mW green laser with an X-Y mirror moving scanner. It is equipped with five DMX channels that allow users to control pan, tilt, pattern, laser on/off, and manual pattern effects. It can also be operated without a controller in sound active or master slave modes.
Mini Emerald Beam is a scaled-down version of ADJ's best-selling Emerald Beam. It can be operated in sound active mode or programmed via its two DMX channels.
