The trimmed-down size makes the Mega Bar 50 RGB suitable for smaller venues and spaces, while the lower price tag puts this LED colour-mixing bar within reach of budget-conscious DJs, bands and clubs.
"After introducing our very successful original Mega Bar LED, we were getting requests from smaller customers for a similar LED colour bar that was scaled to meet their size and budget needs," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. "Simply put, they didn't need - or in some cases the space couldn't accommodate -- a bar that was one metre long. So we cut the length and number of lamps in half, while still using the same high-output 10mm red, green and blue LEDs. The Mega Bar 50 RGB offers the same performance and features as the original unit, even though it's smaller and costs a lot less."
Equipped with a total of 126 10mm LEDs (42 red, 42 green and 42 blue), the Mega Bar 50 RGB offers the same lamp density - and brilliance - as its larger cousin. It can be used with a DMX controller to blend an infinite palette of RGB-mixed colours and control other individual features, such as 0-100% dimming and a colour strobe effect. Operators can choose from seven DMX channel modes, depending on which features they wish to control.
