Introduction: 

The DJ Spot 300 is a eight channel, moving head, intel-

ligent DMX fixture. The fixture can operate in three different operating 

modes; stand alone, sound-active, or in a Master/Slave configuration. 
The DJ Spot 300 comes with several built in programs and is best used 
in multiples of four. 

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.
