Introduction: 

The Auto Spot 150™ is a six 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  con-
figuration. The Auto Spot 150™ comes with several build in programs 
and is best used in multiples of four. When used as a stand alone unit 
or when used in multiples linked in a master/slave configuration the 
optional  IRC/2  controller  may  be  used.  The  optional  controller  will 
access different programs and control a blackout function. 

For best

jections. 

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.
