Merlin

2500W HMI Followspot


Mixing a stainless steel housing with strong aluminium framework, Merlin has been created to reflect the specific requirements of those working in the touring, live music and large event market – indoors and out. Ranging from 3° to 12°, Merlin is a versatile throw followspot offering the widest choice of ranges in one single unit. All the handling is amazingly good and easy: the levers for adjusting the beam size, the dimmer and even the different colour filters are within arm’s reach. The rapid cooling is another advantage when the followspot needs to be boxed right after the show. The power supply unit is integrated, the case is practically built and, if you want, you can even charge your smartphone from Merlin!
