Le Maitre's HazeMaster is their most advanced and powerful hazer yet. With its massive output capacity, high power variable fan and low power consumption, it really is a class act. Add to that the rugged construction and you have a true professional hazer engineered to withstand the rigours of the road when on tour.
Le Maitre have taken all their experience from HazeMaster's predecessors, the renowned Stadium Hazer and the MVS Hazer, and designed a completely new machine with a host of new features and benefits. Le Maitre's acquired knowledge and original investments have enabled them to produce a much more competitively priced unit, despite using higher quality, longer lasting parts.
The first thing that strikes you is the sleek modern design and robust steel casing, underneath which lies a true masterpiece of engineering. The combination of an industrial grade air-pump, a 2-stage heating process and a microprocessor controller, produce an output so powerful that the HazeMaster can convert up to 500cc of fluid per hour. Despite the huge output, the high efficiency design results in the power consumption of the HazeMaster being just 800W - less than half that of the Stadium Hazer.
The HazeMaster, as with all Le Maitre hazers, incorporates their patented S.T.A.R technology, which uses a two-stage low mass heat exchanger technique to produce a fine, pure and consistent haze that hangs in the air for a long period of time. The result is some of the best haze for lighting operators, providing high definition to aerial beams, adding significantly to the impact and drama of lighting and laser rigs. This is a huge advantage over other hazers in the market.
The Salamander is Le Maitre's newest canister flame effect and produces the same great propane look as Le Maitre's Chameleon with some very unique new features.
The Salamander's small footprint allows units to be coupled together in a single position and collectively produce coloured or natural flames ranging in height from 4m to 6m. The visual effect is truly stunning.
Canister-based fuels offer an ideal solution for anyone wanting to create a propane-style flame without the headaches. They eliminate the need for inconvenient external propane tanks, trailing pipes and multiple valves, enabling quick set-up and at a fraction of the cost. A single fuel canister will provide up to 30 seconds of continuous flame. Colours currently available are natural, red and green.
The design eliminates internal valves and accumulators, minimising the chance of the system becoming blocked or leaking. It is this which allows the Salamander to safely use coloured canister-based fuels without the risks usually associated with them. In addition, safe use of ethanol/methanol based canisters makes the Salamander ideal for locations or venues where propane/butane is not an option.
The Salamander is controlled by 2 DMX channels that can be individually addressed. It also incorporates a number of safety features including a tilt-sensor and ignitor monitoring.
