The Ego 03 features high precision optics, a specially designed color/gobo wheel, and sharp and detailed kaleidoscopic gobo designs, all in a great looking composite shell. Other features include variable behavior options, selectable auto or music trig, remote operation, switch mode power supply and much more. The Philips ELC/5H, 24V/250W source gives up to 500 hours of operation. A continuous duty cycle and fan cooling means the effect can run continuously with no cool-down time needed. Ego 03 houses sharp projection optics which combine with a precise manual focus adjustment to produce detailed, clear projections.
An adjustable rotation speed and adjustable dynamic speed 'behavior trig' puts DJs in the driver's seat. This music trigger control is a one-of-a-kind variable behavior tuner that allows DJs to adjust how aggressively the effect reacts to music in trig mode - relaxed, intermediate or quick. The Ego 03 operates in stand-alone in either auto or music trig mode or can be controlled via remote control.
Weighing just 8lbs (3.6kg), Ego 03 is both lightweight and highly portable. The composite design is made of rugged moulded plastic: a convenient handle and lens protection ring makes for easy transport and handling, and a switch mode power supply makes set up even more straightforward. A special Ego carrying bag is also available which will hold two fixtures. The Ego 03 can be used in a wide variety of DJ and club applications and joins the initial Ego versions, Ego 01 and Ego 02, to form a genuine collector range.
