First, Terrafog is a patented design, brought about by a desire from the nightclub market to have a high-powered smoke effect to simulate the large liquid nitrogen fog cannons seen in some of the superclubs of Ibiza and Florida. The company says that, whilst the effect of Terrafog is not as big as the liquid nitrogen cannons, or as cold, it is very close - given the price.

Terrafog uses one or two Le Maitre G300 smoke machines to give a visual effect, plus carbon dioxide for the cooling effect, compressed air or nitrogen for the pneumatics and special fog fluid to ensure the effect disappears quickly. The combination of these elements gives a large blast of cold fog that can be blasted upwards, down on to the audience or across a stage, say the company, adding that T

Denon Professional's new 1RU DN-C640 takes this idea a step further. The DN-C640 can play back MP3 and WMA files from CD data discs, but it is also capable of decoding broadcast standard MP2 and uncompressed digital PCM (WAV) files of those same discs.

It also has the ability to read any of the above from any data DVD. This not only expands the 20-hour playback time to almost six days (continuously), but also allows those users who demand uncompressed audio quality the ability to play back full 44.1kHz PCM recordings without being limited to the 80-minute CD-R.

The DN-C640 can decode a host o

With the new DMXPWM/RGB DMX decoder, VLM has expanded its range of DMX-controlled RGB solutions. No longer limited to 3-digit addresses like its predecessors but freely addressable, the new decoder is capable of controlling up to 99 operating devices using up to 511 addressable channels, the previous limit having been 93. This opens the door to a wide range of uses, covering virtually all DMX-controlled RGB applications.

Even the mounting hardware is user-friendly: The E27 model attaches to a standard medium screw base E27 socket from 90-240v power, while the 12V model attaches with an ordinary b
