Here they are finally, the new DS 1400 series from Elation. First, the Design Spot 1400E.
25 DMX Channels
CMY
CTO
Color Wheel with 6 replaceable colors

3 Face, 5 Face, and Infinity Prisms
Frost
Iris
12-32 Degree Zoom
MSR 1200 Gold SE Fastfit Lamp, 1000 hrs
Weight is 114 Lbs, 52 kg
Next up is the Design Wash 1400E.
17 DMX Channels
2 Color Wheels each with 4 replaceable Colors
10-40 Degree Zoom
MSR 1200 SE Fastfit, 1000 hrs
Weight is 110 lbs, 50 kg
I am pretty sure the DS1400 Wash will also have CMY and frost at least, if going off of the DS250 and DS575 Washes. I also wouldn't be surprised if it had a CTO wheel like the DS1400 Spot. It also will most likely have a beam shaper, as the DS250 and DS575 both have them.
The DS1400 will also most likely have an animation wheel of some sort, the PS700CMY has it, and the DS575 has it as well.
The one thing that urks me a little about these guys, the weight. A Mac 2k Wash weighs 75 lbs, and a Mac 2k Profile weighs 84 lbs, the Performance weights 87 lbs. Spec wise they are the same, so why do the DS's weigh so much more?
Another thing is it might be a little late getting into the 1200w market. Vari-lite and Martin are stepping it up to 1500w arcs now.
Nice part about these guys will be the cost. I am sure you will be able to find them under 9 grand, possibly even as low as 7 if you look very hard.
Thoughts, ideas, comments?
