Chauvet Cloud 9 Fogger
Chauvet Cloud 9 Fogger

The Chauvet Cloud 9 Low Fog Machine is a new way to create a low lying smoke/fog effect. Water rather than a chiller unit is used in this innovative product. Distilled water is used to create a fine mist using ultrasonic technology, and the Cloud 9 then adds vapourised fog fluid. The mist keeps the vapour cold, creating a dense fog output which stays low.

Described by Chauvet as creating an “impressive, low-lying fogger that creates thick, cloud-like effects. With a high-impact output ideal for use on large-scale stages, theatres, live performances and theme parks. The robust unit has a best in class heat-up time of 4 minutes. No dry ice or CO2 is needed, which means no special licensing/training is required. Because it works without a special coolant or compressor, only water and fog fluid is needed for continuous output.” Check out the full specifications from Chauvet here.

The powerful unit weighs in at 55.8kg, although is built into a road case type housing complete with handles and wheels. The Cloud 9 can be controlled locally via the LCD display or via DMX. Both 3pin and 5pin XLR connections are present, and control is via two DMX channels. Power supply is via a TRUE1 inlet.

The Rosco Chiller Module, used with Rosco Stage and Studio Fluid, allows you to produce low-lying fog with variable densities on demand.

The operation of the system is simple. Attach the 1.5 m ducting hose that is included with the Chiller Module to a Hose Adaptor (supplied separately) affixed to the front of a Rosco fog machine. Attach the other end of the hose to the inlet port of the Chiller Module. As the fog output of the machine enters the Chiller Module, it is cooled by the dry ice in the basket.

The density of the emerging fog can be controlled with a fan via a knob on the remote control unit. The fan has a capacity of between 0 and 95 cubic feet per minute, so a wide variety of effects are possible. Using Ducting Hose, you can transport the output of the chiller Module to the location you want. Rosco’s Ducting Hose will slip over the outlet port of the Module.

When dry ice is not available, ordinary ice may be used. The Chiller Module will not leak as the ice melts, but water should be emptied or siphoned off frequently, and should not be allowed to accumulate to a height of more than 6inch.

Showven Sparkular DMX (3 PIN DMX)

The Showven Sparkular DMX is a cold fallout spark generator. It can be used in almost all indoor venues (subject to risk assessment). Creating dramatic visual effects, this DMX controllable machine gives you precise control. Creating dramatic adjustable height spark effects from 1.5 to 5m high. Perfect for sports events, product launches, big annoucements, dramatic entrances and much more.

 

Showven state that SPARKULAR is their original innovative product and the first spark‑fountain machine in the special‑effects industry. They designed SPARKULAR for demanding professional use, with adjustable spark heights from 1.5 to 5 m.

Featuring patented non-pyro technology, the Sparkular is easy to set up, and very safe in operation. The Sparkular uses no gunpowder, unlike traditional pyrotechnic effects that can be difficult to store safely. The effect creates no smoke or pyro smell – although it does create a small amount of grey dust in operation.  You can view and download the user manual from the Showven website here.

The Showven Sparkular DMX machine is ready to hire from IPS now. PowerCON connections provide power input, and each machine comes with a 16A to powerCON cable. Please note that DMX control is via 3PIN XLR.  You can find 3-5 and 5-3 pin DMX adaptors here if you need them. IPS Sparkular hire units arrive in either 2‑way or 4‑way flight cases.

Please note that Sparkulars require Showven Sparkular Granules for operation. Granules are a consumable item and the cost for these is NOT included as part of the hire. Please ask us for details and current prices. The sparkular offers up to 10-20min effects run time from a full granule hopper.
