MDG theONE - 1480 Watt Dual Fog/Haze Machine (Touring Model)

Product Overview

The MDG theONE is a revolutionary, digital, dual mode atmospheric generator. Its simple and efficient multi-level User Interface, accessible from the backlit LCD panel, allows for a gradual switch between either mode seamlessly using various networking protocols, DMX-512-A USITT and RDM ANSI E1.20. Each parameter is set into specific presets, but can be accessed and redefined by advanced users. The networking capability of the MDG theONE allows the user to install the generator as part of an existing network. The generator pumps its fluid from its 20 l (5.28 US gal) container into a pressurized reservoir. The two interconnected 9 kg (20 lb) CO2 (or N2) bottles sit in separate cradles in the universal standard rolling rack, for easier storage and freight. The 100~250V, 50/60Hz universal power supply, dual rigging points, and supplied half-couplers make the MDG theONE especially fit for ready-to-go touring conditions (indoor use or outdoor with shelter).

Product Features

• Dual mode: Haze and Fog: Seamless switching between haze and fog modes. 100% duty cycle.
• APS (Automatic Purging System): This system purges the heating module after the first heating cycle and after every emission of haze/fog preventing residual build up and clogging.
• Networking capabilities: theONE is the first atmospheric generator with networking capabilities. It can be controlled through its DMX/RDM connector or RJ45 node (Pathport embedded, ACN, ART-Net, ETCNet 2 & 3 and SHOWNet protocols). USB 2.0 Link connector for updates.
• ARS (Automatic Refill System): Specially designed to give maximum, consecutive, non-stop hours of haze/fog without interruption, theONE automatically refills its internal fluid reservoir from our external 20 L (5.3 US gallons) container of MDG Neutral fluid as required.
• Integral Touring Fan: External dual-position, adjustable fan with dedicated control channel which travels in its own compartment within the touring cradle. Can be mounted above or below haze/fog output to adjust directional flow.
• Total running time: theONE, running at full intensity, will generate 308 hours of haze and 20 hours of fog from its 20 L (5.3 US gallons) fluid container. Gas bottle will need to be changed at 50 hours for haze and 15 hours for fog. This can be done during operation without interruption of fog or haze emission.
• Operating voltage: theONE is unique in being the only atmospheric generator to offer automatic detection of universal voltage rating from 100-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, single phase.
• Touring cradle: theONE cradle contains the generator, its fan and a convenient tool drawer, and accommodates our 20 L (5.3 US gallons) fluid container and, uniquely, all known sizes of 9 kg (20 lb) CO2 or N2 gas bottle, within a single robust aluminium frame. Exceeding PLASA rigging standards the cradle is designed for rigging, stacking and rolling and sized to fit standard trucks/containers. The touring cradle ensures theONE is fit and ready for worldwide touring.
• Certification: theONE is a truly global product being CE certified, CSA and UL approved.
