ADJ is preparing to showcase its latest products at the Sound:Check Xpo in Mexico City.
On display will be the new ElectraPix Series of battery-powered wash fixtures, as well as the latest additions to the company’s Vizi and Hydro Series of automated luminaires. The IP-rated Jolt Series strobe/blinders will also be on display, alongside the new WMS2 high resolution LED video panel and Aria X2 wireless lighting control solution.
Offering a host of features, the ElectraPix Series is a collection of battery powered and wirelessly controllable LED wash fixtures. Each product in the series features the same color-calibrated 20-Watt Hex (RGBAL+UV) LEDs which deliver colour mixing potential as well as a high CRI. The ElectraPix Bar 8 is a compact 0.5-meter linear fixture that incorporates eight LEDs. The larger ElectraPix Bar 16 measures 1 meter in length and features 16 LEDs. The ElectraPix Par 7 is a complementary LED par fixture loaded with seven LEDs. In addition, the VFB1 vertical floor base is an accessory for the ElectraPix Bar 8 and ElectraPix Bar 16.
The next evolution in ADJ’s Vizi Series of automated luminaires, the new Vizi Beam CMY is a dedicated beam fixture. Harnessing the potential of the 310W Osram Sirius HRI discharge lamp, paired with precision-engineered optics, it generates a potent and crisp 2-degree beam that is ideal for generating aerial effects. The fixture offers a GOBO wheel loaded with 17 static patterns (including 4 beam reducers) and a dynamic GOBO shake effect.
The ADJ Hydro Series is a comprehensive range of IP65-rated automated luminaires that each boast rugged touring grade construction, premium components, and a carefully curated feature set, delivering ROI potential. The Hydro Hybrid is the latest edition to the range. It harnesses the potential of a potent Osram SIRIUS HRI 420W discharge lamp, focused through precision optics, to deliver an output of up to 14,416 Lumens. Its expansive feature set includes CMY colour mixing and an additional 12-position color wheel, two GOBO wheels (one fixed static and one replaceable indexed-rotating), two rotating prisms (8-facet circular and 6-facet linear), motorised focus and motorized zoom (1.6° – 17.7°: Spot Mode; 3.1° – 39.2°: Beam Mode).
ADJ’s Jolt Series features a collection of potent fixtures which each combine bright white strobe/blinder LEDs with multi-coloured wash LEDs in the same unit. The new Jolt Bar FXIP and Jolt Panel FXIP offer the same potential but with touring grade casings that are IP65-rated for safe use outdoors in any weather conditions. The fixture features a central strip of 112 5-Watt cool white SMD LEDs (grouped into 16 individually controllable zones), surrounded on both sides by a total of 448 0.5-Watt RGB colour mixing SMD LEDs (in 32 zones). The panel fixture is equipped with 48 0.5-Watt cool white SMD LEDs (divided into 6 zones) alongside 800 x 0.5-Watt RGB SMD LEDs (in 40 zones).
The new WMS2 features an arrangement of RGB SMD1515 colour mixing LEDs and generates a brightness of 800 NITS. Offering a pixel pitch of just 2.6mm, resulting in a pixel density of 147,456/m2. Measuring 1000mm x 500mm (39.3” x 19.9”), each panel is made up of eight individual modules of 96 x 96 pixels. With a front serviceable design, this vibrant video display solution can be mounted directly to a wall.
The new Aria X2 wireless lighting control solution is a next generation multi-band system designed to increase the reliability and transmission range for cable free communication of a DMX signal between console and fixtures. Featuring an advanced proprietary protocol, it creates a wireless mesh that allows all Aria X2 devices within a given system to transmit the DMX signal between one another, which establishes an extremely robust network. An Aria X2 network can be configured from the large display screen located on the front of the transceiver or using a dedicated mobile app.
ADJ Mexico will also have a dedicated demo room where there will be a stage setup featuring regular performances by a live band. In addition to lighting from ADJ and sister company Elation Professional, the demo room will also feature sound reinforcement products from additional sister company AVANTE Audio. The stage’s PA will showcase the new Imperio Pro IMP328 active line array module paired with the new Imperio Pro IMP218 active dual 18-inch subwoofer.
“Sound:Check Xpo is the most important industry trade show in our region,” commented Abraham Levit, ADJ Mexico’s Director General, “and this year will be extra special as the expo celebrates its 20th anniversary. It is set to be an exciting event that will attract entertainment technology professionals from all over Mexico and throughout Latin America. With lots of exciting new products to showcase, we will be increasing ADJ Mexico’s presence at the show by taking our own private demo room for the first time. Our entire team is looking forward to welcoming both new and existing customers to the show and introducing them to our latest fixtures.”
