Thomann's in-house brand Stairville presents the AFH-600 DMX, a high-performance hazer that comes at an astonishingly budget-friendly price. It should not be assumed, however, that this is just another smoke machine. On the contrary, the AFH-600 DMX produces a virtually invisible haze, similar to the mist that occurs when a high level of humidity is present. The effect is thus unobtrusive until a spotlight shines through the haze, and then the entire beam of light becomes visible. The Stairville AFH-600 DMX's relatively large housing conceals a capacious fluid tank, which will handle several prolonged performances without needing a refill, and the hazer is ready to go in next to no time thanks to its relatively short heating phase. What is more, a range of fog fluids with different densities are available, allowing the Stairville AFH-600 DMX to be used for numerous applications.
Making the haze virtually invisible - as the Stairville AFH-600 DMX Hazer does - allows conventional lighting effects, moving beams, and prism effects to be used with maximum impact once the fluid has been diffused throughout the room. The 600W heating element requires just two minutes to reach operating temperature, and the AFH-600 DMX's overall power consumption is 1,290 watts. The hazer weighs 5.5kg and its sheet metal housing, which encapsulates the 2.3-litre fluid tank, measures 450x290x265mm. The device, which requires 20cm clearance at the sides and above, can be operated via a single DMX channel or via the control buttons and LED display on the rear panel, and it can also be integrated into a master-slave assembly.
The Stairville AFH-600 DMX Hazer is primarily designed for use as part of a stationary setup and allows the user to significantly enhance the impact of all manner of lighting effects with a single device. Operators of small live music venues can thus give their existing lighting rig a valuable upgrade, fill the empty space on the stage, and turn coloured lighting effects three-dimensional with only minimal outlay, while club owners can use the hazer to illuminate the dancefloor with striking beams of light. In either application, the AFH-600 DMX will be inaudible against the background noise, and its impressive fluid tank volume means it will get through long evenings of use without problems. What is more, the selection of different fog fluids that can be used with this model - which provide everything from dense to transparent - mean that the AFH-600 DMX can provide the right effect to suit every mood.
Since it was introduced in 1994, Thomann’s in-house brand Stairville has been a permanent fixture in the store’s product range. The brand primarily focuses on the field of stage lighting in general, and its products include spotlights, moving lights, and theatre lighting as well as smoke machines, electronic control systems, and every other accessory you can think of. Thomann constantly has around 1,600 Stairville products on offer, and the figures speak for themselves: Statistically, one in every fifteen Thomann customers owns at least one Stairville product. Incidentally, the name “Stairville” is also a catchy English translation of “Treppendorf”, the town that Thomann calls home.
All that a small club needs to do in order to effectively upgrade its in-house lighting rig is to mount a Stairville AFH-600 DMX Hazer on one of its side or backdrops and then connect it to the mains power supply and integrate it into the relevant DMX chain. Once the tank has been filled with one of the compatible fog fluids, the hazer is all ready to fill the room with odourless haze that will highlight whatever lighting effects are in use, so not only the floor and walls but also the light beams themselves will be strikingly visible. This helps to fill out the stage during live performances, and the mood can be altered using specific lighting effects - band members can be highlighted with razor-sharp outlines through the use of localised backlighting, for example.
