Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) has built a reputation as Europe’s leading audiovisual and systems integration exhibition. Set to take place in Barcelona, Spain, ADJ Lighting will use the 2024 show to debut multiple new products for the first time in Europe. These include the latest addition to the popular Hydro Series of IP65-rated moving heads, the Hydro Hybrid. This versatile new fixture combines the power of a 420-Watt discharge lamp with a comprehensive optical system, allowing it to serve interchangeably as a beam, spot, or wash luminaire. Visitors to ISE will also have the chance to discover the high resolution WMS2 integration-focused LED video panel, the Vizi Beam CMY automated beam luminaire, the ElectraPix series of lime-infused wireless LED bars and par, as well as the next generation Aria X2 wireless lighting management system.
The ADJ Hydro Series is a comprehensive range of IP65-rated automated luminaires that each boast rugged touring grade construction, premium components, and a carefully curated feature set, delivering exceptional ROI potential. At ISE the new Hydro Hybrid will be officially launched, following a low-key preview at LDI in Las Vegas last December. This powerful and feature-packed luminaire harnesses the full potential of a potent Osram SIRIUS HRI 420W discharge lamp, focused through precision optics, to deliver an output of up to 14,416 Lumens. It’s expansive feature set includes CMY color mixing and an additional 12-position color wheel, two GOBO wheels (one fixed static and one replaceable indexed-rotating), two rotating prisms (8-facet circular and 6-facet linear), motorized focus and motorized zoom (1.6° – 17.7°: Beam Mode; 3.1° – 39.2°: Spot Mode).
Expanding ADJ’s catalog of professional LED video panel products, the new WMS2 is the company’s highest resolution offering to date. It features an arrangement of RGB SMD1515 color mixing LEDs and generates a brightness of 800 NITS. Offering a pixel pitch of just 2.6mm, resulting in a pixel density of 147,456/m2, the panel delivers excellent definition even from a close viewing distance. Measuring 1000mm x 500mm (39.3” x 19.9”), each panel is made up of eight individual modules of 96 x 96 pixels. With a front serviceable design, this vibrant video display solution can be mounted directly to a wall, with a seamless edge-to-edge finish, either horizontally or vertically. It is therefore ideal for a wide variety of integration applications, including shop window displays, museums and attractions, boardrooms, meeting and event spaces, digital signage, houses of worship and entertainment venues.
The next evolution in ADJ’s extremely popular Vizi Series of automated luminaires, the new Vizi Beam CMY is a powerful and feature-packed dedicated beam fixture. Harnessing the full potential of the 310W Osram Sirius HRI discharge lamp, paired with precision engineered optics, it generates a potent and crisp 2-degree beam that is ideal for generating awe-inspiring aerial effects. Lighting Designers can unlock a spectrum of possibilities with CMY color mixing, paired with a 14-color dichroic wheel that includes CTO (3200K), CTB (9000k) & UV filters. In addition, the fixture offers a versatile GOBO wheel loaded with 17 static patterns (including 4 beam reducers) and a dynamic GOBO shake effect. Users can also enjoy the flexibility of on-board wireless DMX, motorized focus, 16-bit fine focus and high speed 3-phase pan and tilt motors which deliver fast movement and meticulous control. The fixture’s extensive feature set also includes two rotating prisms (16-facet circular and 6-facet linear) which may be overlayed as well as a frost filter for creating wash effects.
Offering a host of advanced features, the ElectraPix Series is a collection of versatile battery powered and wirelessly controllable LED wash fixtures. Each product in the series features the same color-calibrated 20-Watt Hex (RGBAL+UV) LEDs which deliver incredible color mixing potential as well as a high CRI. In addition, an arrangement of 0.2-Watt RGB color mixing LEDs surrounds the main LEDs to generate a background glow effect. The series is made up of three fixtures, which each feature versatile floor-standing / hanging brackets as well as an integrated L Track system which can be used to easily attach a range of rigging accessories. The ElectraPix Bar 8 is a compact 0.5-meter linear fixture that incorporates eight LEDs. The larger ElectraPix Bar 16 measures 1-meter in length and features 16 LEDs. Finally, the ElectraPix Par 7 is a complementary LED par fixture loaded with seven LEDs.
Finally, ISE 2024 will see the European launch of the new Aria X2 wireless lighting control solution. This next generation multi-band system is designed to increase the reliability and transmission range for cable free communication of a DMX signal between console and fixtures. Featuring an advanced proprietary protocol, it creates a wireless mesh that allows all Aria X2 devices within a given system to transmit the DMX signal between one another, which establishes an extremely robust network. On display at ADJ’s ISE booth will be the Aria X2 Transceiver, which features twin wireless antennas as well as 5-pin DMX input and thru connections. An Aria X2 network can be configured from the large display screen located on the front of the transceiver or using a dedicated mobile app. In addition, the app can also be used to remotely configure compatible fixtures and provide basic DMX control. All the new lighting fixtures on display at ISE 2024 are equipped with Aria X2 compatible wireless transceivers as are many of the other ADJ fixtures released recently.
ADJ’s booth at the show will also showcase two new additions to sister company AVANTE Audio’s Imperio Pro line array series. The Imperio Pro IMP328 is a powerful and versatile line array module. It is composed of potent dual 8-inch low-mid frequency drivers and two HF drivers coupled with a precision waveguide. It integrates a 3-way Class-D+ power switching amplifier, which boasts 2800-Watts of total peak power to ensure ample headroom and very low distortion. The array delivers an exceptional full range frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz (-6dB), a wide 100-degree horizontal coverage pattern, and an impressive maximum SPL of 132 dB each peak. A comprehensive DSP with FIR filters is built in, which offers selectable crossover frequency and delay as well as LF and HF compensation. The DSP can be configured from an on-board display screen or remotely using a Windows PC (RS485) through an application that also offers remote system monitoring.
Designed to perfectly complement this new array module, the Imperio Pro IMP218 is an active subwoofer which features dual 18-inch drivers paired with powerful 4-inch voice coils and a high-output port design. It incorporates an active Class-D amplifier capable of delivering 4800-Watts of peak power. The unit delivers an exceptional frequency response of 32 Hz – 130 Hz (-10dB) / 38 Hz-130 Hz (-3dB) that ensures deep, powerful, tight bass that you can feel! It is equipped with a comprehensive DSP that includes selectable crossover frequency, variable delay, and Cardioid / End-Fire presets. As with the array module, all DSP features can be configured directly from the back panel of the unit or remotely from a networked Windows PC.
“ISE is increasingly becoming an important tradeshow on the ADJ calendar and we are looking forward to using this year’s event to showcase a collection of significant new products in Europe for the first time,” comments ADJ’s European Sales Director, Sebastian Mobers. “From the Hydro Hybrid and Vizi Beam CMY moving heads to the ElectraPix Series of lime-infused battery-powered LED wash fixtures, and from the high resolution WMS2 LED video panel to the Aria X2 wireless lighting management system and new AVANTE Audio products, we are sure there will be something of interest to everyone who visits our booth. I, along with the rest of the ADJ Europe team, look forward to connecting with AVL integrators from across Europe and beyond, introducing them to our product range and helping them to decide on the right lighting and video solutions for their upcoming projects.”
Integrated Systems Europe 2024 will take place at Fira Barcelona – Gran Via, Tuesday January 30th thru Friday February 2nd. ADJ will be exhibiting from booth #5C150, where the company’s experienced and multilingual team of sales and product specialists will be on hand to answer questions and provide one-on-one demos.
