The Starhazer II DMX from CITC.
USA - CITC has introduced a new haze machine - the Starhazer II DMX. The award-winning company, which has recently celebrated its 15th year, is best known for its unique special effects equipment, including the Little Blizzard snow machine. The Starhazer II, the company says, has double the output of the previous StarHazer - plus DMX on-board, superior insulation for whisper-quiet operation, cycle/direct/ remote operation, a seven-filter system, and a dual opening for wide coverage.

The DMX 512 allows control from a lighting desk, using just one channel. It also has a convenient 5-pin XLR 'In' and 'Send' feature for setting up other units on the same DMX line. Also included is the remote control featuring buttons which allow either manual 'on' and 'off' operation, or 'timed' operation of 0-60 seconds 'on' or 0-4 minutes 'off'. StarHazer II DMX also comes with a control switch that allows for direct power. This is ideal for rental companies that don't want to send out the remote control units, say CITC.

StarHazer II DMX has been double insulated, has shock-absorbing motor mounts, insulated baffles, a sound-deadening intake filter and filter covers on the intake fans. No heat is used to run the machine, the company adds.
