Best compact haze machine

[raj]

My old Jem technohaze has recently died :** laughs out loud **: Any suggestions on other hazers around the same size and price bracket (and any to avoid in particular!?)

[smeggie]

take a look at the neutron hazer by le-maitre[if I remember correctly - they are always just known as the neutrons]

when clean they have an output that kicks jacksie.

dosent leave a residue and lasts forever.

just remember to let it warm up and clean itself before use.

cheers

Neutron Star XS is the current model and yes it does kick ass. You do need to clean it regulaly though. Avoid the Unique hazer it is more of a smoke machine than a hazer.

ps. wireless electricity does happen already.

 

it just makes a hell of a mess and a bang. along with tripping the breakers as well.

Wireless electricity happens without a bang, and does not blow any fuses.

 

There is an apochryphal story about a farmer near Droitwich who had a huge coil in his loft, running his freezer off the Radio 4 transmitter. The BBC aparently detected it because of a dead spot in their coverage.

 

Radio hams have to be careful when running high powers (we can use up to 400W on some bands) lest we induce dangerous voltages in other conductors!

Fine if your going to be picky! :** laughs out loud **:

Used a neutron xs last week for our rock concert - very impressive - just dont knock it over!

 

...(someone did, and apparantly circuit board is knackered - bit of luck the hire guys saw it before me - they seemed fine about it (although I havent had their invoice yet) and I dont thik they will charge))

 

and I still had another one and it worked great - just left it on all night, and no problems whatsoever

yes I agree the Neutron Star XS does kick ass. we bought 2 of them and so far have only used 1 during a show/gig in the centre at the back of the stage as it is so good

If you want to go all the way, nothing beats a DF50 Hazer

Come with a multitude of controls: ( On or Off )

Does exactly what it says on the box!

I seem to remember someone being quite enthusiastic about one of the very cheap disco hazers that looks like an exact copy of the NeutronXS - forget the details though.

I remember that too... it was the Chauvet unit - do a search for "Chauvet" and have a look.

 

As it happens, our Neutron Star keeps going very poorly - replaced chips, re-fixed heater elements, all sorts! LeMaitre very helpful but its still not very well

Thinking of getting a Chauvet unit (or even 2 for the price!) as backup units. I had a very brief play with one, and despite being a bit more like a smoker than a hazer, seemed pretty adaptable!

I'm surprised to hear that, Ive been using 2 XS's every day for over a year and have had no problems with them. Admittedly the older models seam to have some problems though.

Martin/ JEM do the 24/7 Hazer. Have a look on martin.dk and you can look at the range they do.

we bought a Look Solutions Unique Hazer a year or so ago - it works OK, is small and easy to use, and cost well under a grand including a flightcase. If I'd had a bit more spare money I would have gone for a DF50....
