Introduction: 

The Accu Spot 575 is a sixteen channel, moving head,  

intelligent DMX fixture. The fixture can operate in three different oper-
ating modes; stand alone, sound-active, or in a Master/Slave configu-
ration. The Accu Spot 575 comes with several built in programs that 
can be used, while operating as a stand alone unit or when used in 
multiples linked in a master/slave configuration. 

For best results use 

fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projections. 

During the initial start-up or use of this product a light smoke or 
smell  may  arise  from  the  unit.  This  is  a  normal  process  and  is 
cause by the heat associated with the lamp.
