Gliding Gobos: American DJs Raven Creates Instant Light Extravaganza


American DJ spreads its technological wings and introduces the Raven, a powerful rotating single gobo projector that produces a stunning multi-dimensional gobo display without shocking the wallet. Capable of operating in three separate modes, the Raven can cast up to four rotating gobo patterns in a single swoop to create a rich and textured lighting effect on the stage or dance floor. "We wanted to create an affordable, more-versatile-than-ever gobo projector for the mobile DJ or smaller clubs," says Scott Davies, general manager of American DJ. "The Raven offers a variety of options that DJs can use to present an attractive light show." The Raven is a "separate species" of gobo projector, because with the flick of a switch, it can operate in one of three different modes. These modes include a 360-degree rotation, which allows the Raven to unleash its visual magic by sweeping gobo patterns all over a dance floor. The other two modes are: back and forth rotation, which can pinpoint objects horizontally; and a stationary mode, which is great for spotlighting a particular scene. Equipped with one random gobo pattern, the Raven features a detachable 4-mirrored prism which divides the gobo into four images. Used with the Ravens rotation mode, these gobos will flutter throughout the room creating excitement as they sweep throughout a crowd. The Raven features four dichroic colors plus white as well as split colors. Because of its compact design and attractive price tag, the Raven is ideal for the mobile DJ or for smaller venues. Weighing only 6 lbs., the Raven is extremely portable and its suggested retail price of $169.99 wont weigh down the DJs pockets. The dimensions of the Raven are 6.25" x 6.5" x 9.5". American DJ offers 48 optional gobo patterns that can be used with the Raven (suggested retail $15 each). These optional gobos include a wide range of images. DJs can choose a flowing American Flag for a Fourth of July celebration, a breezy palm tree to promote a balmy tropical atmosphere, or they can create their own custom logo on a gobo (sold separately at additional cost).
