My school is looking at purchasing a haze machine. It is for an 850 seat theatre, and will be used twice a year for each musical, and for a few one-off dance shows/ music concerts. We are looking to spend about 1000$, but could go up to 1500$, so something in the DF-50 range won't work. The stage has a proscenium opening of 32H by 48W. We previously have used a Chavuet Hurricane 2, but a single one did not produce enough haze, and I was not satisfied with the density of the haze. I found it to be very thick, and more fog like. I would really like DMX Control, but its absence is not a non-sell. Also, i cannot buy used equipment. Fire Detectors aren't a concern, they are heat, not particle.
Some machines I have considered:
Ultratec Radiance
Le Maitre Neutron XS (Though this looks very similiar to the Chavuet, and I wonder if it is at all similiar on the inside)
I looked at Starlight and Magic Fog and Haze Machines: Assortment of Machines and Supplies and some of their products interest me, namely the "Professional Hazer", as it looks similar to a DF-50, and uses a compressor. Also the "Vision" machine, and the "HZ550 Pro Stage Hazer" look like possible contenders. I was wondering if people had used them, and if so their thoughts about the company.
As an absolute last choice, I would get 2 Hurricanes, but I would rather not.
Thanks!
