American DJ Unveils Compact, User-Friendly Micro Galaxian Green/Red Laser Effect

Out Of This World -- And Down To Earth!

Now you can take your light show to the far reaches of the universe - even if you're playing at the smallest gig on earth. American DJ has added a new compact, highly affordable laser to its popular line of Galaxian solar-system-type effects, the Micro Galaxian, a trim, easy-to-use unit that produces over 200 green and red laser beams.

When projected on a ceiling or wall, the Micro Galaxian's pin-sized beams give the appearance of a galaxy of stars in the sky, creating a stunning celestial show that will ignite any size party or gig. Yet, the Micro Galaxian is amazingly small and compact, weighing just 2 lbs./.6 kg. and measuring a miniscule 2" x 4.75" x 3.5"/50 x 120 x 90mm, making it ideal for DJs, mobile entertainers, nightclubs, bars and even private parties.

Best of all, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to set this pocket-sized powerhouse into orbit. No DMX programming is required; the Micro Galaxian comes with its own built-in programs plus a sound-activation mode. Just plug it in and push a button, and the unit's shooting laser beams will run through their pre-programmed gyrations or move to the beat of the music. The Micro Galaxian also includes an RF wireless remote control that gives users the convenience of being able to operate it from afar. With the remote, you can control Auto/Sound Mode, Black Out, Color Change (R, G, R+G), and Rotation, all wirelessly at the push of a button.

"The Micro Galaxian was designed for the mobile entertainer who plays small venues, the neighborhood bar, or private party host who wants the excitement of a solar-style laser show, but doesn't want to spend a lot of time or money on lighting," said Scott Davies, General Manager of the American DJ Group of Companies.  "It's basically a smaller, streamlined version of our other Galaxian effects that has been designed to be very easy to operate, even for lighting novices.

"But even though the Micro Galaxian keeps things simple, it doesn't sacrifice excitement," Davies added. "It's got all the laser punch and visual thrills you'd expect from the Galaxian name, which have made this product line so popular."

Safety is another feature that the Micro Galaxian shares in common with its larger siblings. The laser complies with all FDA standards, ensuring that it can be used safely and securely at entertainment venues and parties. A UL-listed multi-voltage power supply (AC 100-240V, 50/60 Hz) allows the unit to go virtually anywhere, another feature that makes it great for mobile entertainers.

The Micro Galaxian is powered by a 30mW green laser and an 80mW red laser. It includes a flexible dual hanging bracket that allows it to sit on the ground or be hung from a wall or ceiling. A fan-cooled effect, the Micro Galaxian is also very energy-efficient, consuming just 9 watts of power at maximum use.

The pricing of the Micro Galaxian is also very down to earth. The MSRP of the unit, including the RF wireless remote controller, is just $139.95.
