USA - American DJ has introduced the AccuSpot 250, an intelligent eight-channel moving head effect with a bright 250W discharge lamp which is sized and priced for small and mid-size clubs. Equipped with powerful stepper motors, the AccuSpot 250 is built for quick, accurate micro-stepping, with 360° of pan and up to 265° of tilt movement, and has eight DMX channels, nine colours plus open white. The unit features seven variable speed rotating gobos plus spot and including one dichroic glass gobo. Gobo and colour wheels are independent, allowing for a large range of pattern-colour combinations. The unit also features a Gobo Shake effect, and will strobe in every colour.

The AccuSpot 250 was designed to give small and mid-size clubs the chance to take their visual entertainment to the next level, according to Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ group of companies: "Intelligent moving head effects have been the hallmark of large clubs in places like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. Until now there has never really been a moving head component with such a bright lamp at this price level.

The AccuSpot 250 was designed for ease and flexibility of operation. It can be run either with a standard DMX controller, or used stand-alone and controlled via its own internal programs. It can also be operated in Master/Slave Mode, enabling it to be linked to other units for co-ordinated multiple effects over larger areas.
