Steve Thomas Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 So we're upgrading our lighting rig to include moving head devices and multiple par can (LED) and the demonstration carried out showed how important a good Hazer (not smoke machine) is. Can you recommend a good DMX or timed Hazer that can cover the footprint of a 5 piece band set up in Marquee's and would be used twice weekly for 2x1 hour stints. Budget is up to £500 but can a 2nd hand unit (there is a Martin Twin Stage available) be better than a £100 unit based on reliability and running costs.

BigYinUK Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Look Solutions Unique 2 Hazer? Impressive hazer and *very* quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'll second that. You should get one close to budget. Don't buy a used smoke machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddison Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I used one of these for a show recently, instead of two Jem Technohazes, and was thoroughly impressed. Quiet, fine haze (much finer than the technohaze, which has a tendency to look much thicker ipon expulsion from the machine, though fine once it dissipates a bit). You may well have already thought of this, but your venue is far from ideal for a haze machine; Marquees are, in my experience (from a summer of putting them up, and taking them down) draughty, and you'll probably see a lot of your haze sucked out. So with that in mind, it might be better to get two smaller machines, which put out a slightly heavier haze, such as the technohaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
