Add Depth to Your Beams and Create Controlled Atmospheres
Designed to enhance your lighting effects, the Hurricane 1600 densifies the air to make visible the beams from your PAR cans, moving heads, LED bars, scanners, lasers, and strobes. Whether in clubs, on stage, in theaters, fixed installations (bars, restaurants, multipurpose rooms), or for events (weddings, private parties, conferences), it guarantees a homogeneous and clean fog, water-based, leaving no residue. Its responsiveness and high output allow you to quickly establish an enveloping atmosphere and maintain it precisely throughout the show.
Who Is the Hurricane 1600 For?
Ideal for the mobile DJ seeking professional results without adding bulk to their setup, it also meets the needs of the lighting technician, host, and venue operator looking for a reliable, simple, and robust machine. Event production companies will appreciate its lightning-fast startup and minimalist DMX control, while demanding private users will see it as a plug-and-play solution to enhance a home dance floor or stage.
Features and Innovations
The Hurricane 1600 focuses on precision and safety. The rapid heat-up places it in "ready to play" mode within minutes, then the "Always Ready" technology keeps the heating block at temperature to deliver fog on demand. The variable output control can be managed via DMX (1 channel), the included timer (flow, duration, interval), or the manual trigger button. The LED-lit tank facilitates visual fluid level monitoring, and an advanced fluid sensor triggers automatic shut-off to protect the pump in case of fluid shortage, extending the device's lifespan. Designed for professional environments, the machine uses a water-based fluid for clean, diffuse fog without annoying deposits on lighting equipment.
