Description
The H-800MB is a professional-grade, heavy-duty mirror ball motor engineered for the largest productions and venues. Designed to safely handle oversized mirror balls up to 650 lbs, this motor is built for arenas, theaters, arenas, and large-scale events where strength and reliability are critical. Unlike standard motors, the H-800MB integrates DMX-512 (3-pin) control (optional), giving lighting designers the ability to operate rotation on/off, direction, and variable speed directly from their lighting console. This allows for seamless synchronization with intelligent lights, strobes, lasers, and other stage effects, creating dynamic and fully coordinated light shows. With its rugged steel housing and precision engineering, the H-800MB ensures smooth and consistent factory set rotation speeds of 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 RPM, or user-adjustable speeds via DMX, making it a top choice for professional installs.
