1 MEET THE MAGICFX®STADIUMBLASTER!
The MAGICFX® STADIUMBLASTER is a special eects machine that launches confetti into the air up
to a height of 12 meters.
The MAGICFX®STADIUMBLASTER is equipped with a CO2powered woofer. CO2is shot into the
woofer through small holes. This creates a Venturi eect that draws the confetti continuously from
the hopper, out of the woofer and into the air. The shot is accompanied by a strong hissing sound.
If liquid CO2is applied, a white plume of smoke will be visible.
The MAGICFX® STADIUMBLASTER is outtted for operation:
• by hand with the manual CO2valve;
• with a 24 V controller;
• with DMX and optionally RDM.
With DMX you can operate multiple machines in a sequence.
