American DJ Launches Mega 24PRO

American DJ's new Mega 24PRO is a compact 16" RGB color bar with twenty-four 1W LEDs (eight each red, green, and blue) that can be used to uplight walls and ceilings, and provide overhead illumination.

Producing a 10 degree vertical by 40-degree beam angle that's suitablefor wall washing, the Mega 24PRO features DMX or manual control, RGB color mixing, 32 built-in color macros, a color strobe effect and 0-100% electronic dimming.

"The Mega 24PRO is a great fixture to use for uplighting, which, of course, is currently a big trend in everything from clubs, to special events and display lighting," said Alfred Gonzales, national sales manager for American DJ. "But the Mega 24PRO's uses go well beyond uplighting. This bright, compact LED bar is probably one of the most versatile fixtures in American DJ's line today. We designed it to have multiple uses to give entertainers and lighting designers more options -- and greater value for their dollar."

The Mega 24PRO's double bracket allows the unit to be set on a floor to shine a wash of light upward, as well as mounted on a ceiling or truss to illuminate dance floors and performers from above like a traditional club or stage light.

Users can program their own customized light shows using a DMX-512 controller, or take advantage of its built-in programs and color macros. It can be operated in six different modes: manual color mode; color change mode; color fade mode; auto (program run) mode; sound-active mode; and DMX-512 mode. For additional more control options, when using DMX there are six different channel modes to choose from: three-, six-, severn-, 10-, 12-, or 16-channel modes. A three-button LCD display on the rear panel makes it easy to scroll through the DMX menu. Multiple Mega 24PROs can be linked together via three-pin XLR cables, for color washing larger spaces and venues.

The Mega 24PRO eights 6.5 lbs= It's size (16"L by 7.5"W bbbbby 2.8"H) make it a good bet for mobile use.
