Martin's Ego X5 effect goes DMX

Denmark - Martin Professional's Ego X5 kaleidoscopic lighting effect is now DMX controllable. The Ego X5 is an ideal portable effect and decoration light for DJs, mobile professionals, bands, live theatrics and more, and it fits well in clubs, bars and entertainment venues, say Martin. This DMX version of the popular Ego 03 features new kaleidoscopic decoration and projection designs, as well as 12 in-built macros (slow, medium and fast) to get users started. High quality projection optics combine with a precise manual focus adjustment to produce sharp and detailed projections, say the company.

The Ego X5 can also operate in auto or music trig mode. In trig mode, variable behavior tuning allows users to adjust how aggressively the effect reacts to music. The Ego X5 houses a 250W, 1000-hour halogen lamp, combined with a double mirror tunnel concept, the optic design and efficiency enables a projection that is exceptionally bright.

Also included is a variable strobe effect with 0-100% digital dimming. Variable effect speeds on both the double mirror tunnel optics and the specially designed kaleidoscopic gobo wheel give maximum flexibility and dynamic effect, say the company.
