Multiple Heads Better Than One!

The RUSH line of products from Martin includes an exciting fog/haze product called the RUSH Club Smoke Dual

The system can utilize fog and/or haze heads with the same fluid, thus the word "dual" in the product's name.  It is actually a fog/hazing system that allows users to remotely locate the fluid reservoir and connect up to six fog and/or haze heads




That's right, you can keep the pump unit (fluid reservoir) on the ground or at the DJ booth and have the heads located anyplace in the rig.  The pump unit has a 10 liter reservoir which is sure last quite along time in most environments.  Plus since it can be mounted on the ground, refilling is extremely simple.  In addition because the reservoir is remote, you can aim the heads in any direction including straight up or down!






The fog and/or haze heads connect to the pump unit via a small hose for the fluid and you can have up to three distinct zones of control.  Each zone can be controlled individually as the heads are also connected to the pump unit and to each other via standard RJ45 Ethernet cables.  In fact, you can even daisy chain the units that are on the same zone.  Configuration is simple as there are no network settings to worry about.



The entire RUSH Club Smoke Dual system is very versatile and extremely useful in permanent installations.  Imagine having the fluid located in one easy-to-replace location while having six different heads throughout the venue.  I love that one zone could be hazers, while another could be fog in the rig, and a third could be floor fog effects.



Control is very simple via DMX, direct controls on the pump unit, or a special wired remote.  With DMX you can easily trigger each of the three zones plus a fourth channel provides access to control functions.  The fog and haze heads have also been designed with forethought as the status LED's for Heat and Ready are on the side of the unit instead of the back.  This makes it easy to spot the status from the ground and ensure the heads are ready.



The RUSH Club Smoke Dual has been designed with longevity in mind and is a perfect choice for any installation.  With a very affordable price, there is no reason not to invest in the RUSH Club Smoke Dual and open up your designs to new possibilities.
