Acme’s Xperior Beams pack a punch

admin — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:22:37 +0000

Desert Beat recently introduced the latest Xperior line from Acme in the UAE with the XP 700A beams, that carry the Philips fast fit lamp, heading the sales. Beams have become a popular replacement for the Moving Head Wash with the LED Wash now also slowly replacing them. The beams offer a wider range of choices for the user with onboard gobos as well as a frost feature that acts as a perfect replacement or the Wash effect. The XP700 Beam even tops that with additional features that makes it a solid addition to your lights setup

Featuring a superior package of CMY color mixing, rotating gobo wheel, color wheel, rotating prism, frost and optional DMX wireless receiver, the compact, punchy Xperior 700A Beam offers the best price-performance ratio, ideal for a wide range of applications. With its very powerful, bright “searchlight-like” beam, it rocks all the venues with amazing effects.

Advantage:

Superb optics with great light output

Extremely bright

Full package of effects and colors

Cooler & quieter fixtures

Battery back-up LCD display

3-Phase motor for PAN/TILT Movement

Philips FastFit lamps

It is clear that many rental companies are now opting for the Beams over the Wash Effect. However the Spots still rule in many other departments including the Zoom effect and additional gobo wheels and animation wheels. But who is to say that one day we will not see an all in one moving head that can perform all that you need! That would be the dream machine.
