To achieve optimal results the use of smoke effects together with your Ego is
recommended.
The lamp turns on as soon as power is applied. The effect wheel/s and mirror dish
begin to rotate. The action is varied whenever trigger signals are generated as a
result of sounds picked up by the built-in microphone (manual trig) or randomly
(when the fixture is in auto trig mode).
S E T T I N G T H E T R I G M O D E
The Idle Speed dial on the control panel is used to set the trigger mode; when the
Idle Speed dial is set:
•
In the Auto Trig zone trigger signals are generated randomly in Auto Trig mode.
This will result in unsynchronized operation that is not in time with music.
•
Out of the Auto Trig zone, the fixture is in Manual Trig mode and the built-in
microphone will generate trigger signals as a result of sounds that it picks up. This
will result in synchronous operation in time with any music that is being played.
When trigger signals are not being received, the effect wheel will idle at a speed
that is relative to how far clockwise the Idle Speed dial is set.

Dynami c
The Dynamic dial on the control panel is used to set the aggressiveness of the
effect, regardless of which trig mode is set. When the dial is wound fully anti-
clockwise the fixture will react relatively passively, and the level of
aggressiveness will increase the further clockwise that the dial is wound.
The separately orderable remote control unit can be used to link multiple Egos
and allows the simultaneous adjustment of their dynamics. See “Operation with
the optional remote control” on page 12 for more information.
