American DJ has released the Centurion - a DMX512 Intelligent moonflower effect, which features 14 revolving gobos, including 12 solid colour and 2 multi-colour gobos. Featuring a beam spread that covers a wide area, American DJ’s Centurion is ideal for use in larger clubs and venues, as well as on a musician’s stage, roller rink or bowling alley floor. Yet, it is compact and lightweight for easy transport by mobile DJs.

To add to this versatility, the Centurion offers three operation modes - DMX, master/slave and sound activated. In the intelligent DMX mode, a unit can be individually programmed and controlled with any universal DMX512 controller to craft a customized light show. In the master/slave mode, up to four lighting units can by linked by XLR connection. In the sound activation mode, the Centurion will chase to the beat of the music using its own built-in programs. Also available as an option is a convenient Centurion/C controller called the IRC 2, that can be used to control blackout. The Centurion is fan-cooled, and comes with a LL-EPF 12v, 100W lamp.
