0:11 Frankfurt Music Messy 2013

Ladies and gentlemen, Frankfurt Music Messy 2013. I'm on the showbiz stand with, what's your name sir? Sam. Sam. And I believe you've got like millions if not thousands of new products. We've got a few new products. You've got a few. Alright, let's go for it. We'll start with the Core 3x3. This is the new Pixel Map product. It's really cool. You get a 3x3 tricolour module on each little panel. DMX obviously, pixel map, really cool, really bright. Very bright. Really good as a background, as an effect kind of thing. It's actually beautiful. Yeah. It's very mellow as well. It's not like just hit you and destroy your eyes. I can imagine this, a DJ using this, let's say in an old school disco kind of mobile. Yeah. I mean it's really great. This is actually running at about 30% at the moment. Is that all? Yeah.

1:38 Yeah, it just has that warm kind of feel to it

Right, okay. So it does go quite bright if you want it to. The power of the LEDs in there then? They're just one watts but they're one watt double tri module. And then this is partnered with a core 3x1 so it's the same thing but obviously one row. What I'm getting is it's almost like a very warm light. Yes. Yeah, it just has that warm kind of feel to it. I don't know... Because it has the big reflector. Yeah. It's like a glow. Yes. Rather than a... Just full on. Yeah, that's it. You've got it. It's different to a pixel. Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. Another new product that we've got here, the Colorband Pix has been hugely successful for us for years now. And what we've brought in here is the Colorband Pix Move. So it's the same as Colorband Pix, same optics. Again, it's 12mm.

Each individually controllable. But now you have the tilt function as well, so you can add that extra aspect in. If you're lighting a psych or something like that behind a DJ, you can do a wave above the wall or a wave on the dance floor like that. So it's a really cool product. And again I can see a lot of DJs loving this if they like to use up-lighting because you can get that very subtle sort of wash on the wall then maybe more on the ceiling and it's that movement isn't it? So yeah, we like that. It's very good. Yeah, very much so. Another new product which I think is really cool is BeamShock. It's a single white LED with a very, very tight beam that comes out of it. You can see the fire across here.

3:20 I can't remember off the top of my head

It's great in multiples with Hayes. You can create some really cool sparkly effects, a lot of twinkling type things. Or a fan out into the crowd if you had a few across a T-bar or something like that above the DJ. There's a lot you could do with them and they're really cool. Or for a mirrorball. Or for a mirrorball. I mean it's so bright that if you were lighting a mirrorball you really would get huge output from your mirrorball. And the power on that? I can't remember off the top of my head. Okay, it's going to be three for five, I would thought. Yeah. Okay. And then this is the beam bar. Right. So the beam bar is the same, similar product, same source. Yeah. But you have five LEDs all in a row, so you can chase across and then chase back. Nice. Or light it as one and have a big beam from that. Yeah, like it. So again, if you have two of those, that's a big effect like that. Yeah, like it.

So we're getting to the rails of an old school sort of rave strobe light, aren't we? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Very sweet. So yeah, it's another cool product. We're also launching the Slim Park Quads here. Again, if you're looking for a cheap park amp with really good output and nice rich colours, and with the amber in there as well so you can get a lot of fiery colours, warm colours, the Slim Park Quads are really good.
