Product Description
Overview
The DF-502-AU Digi-Fan II is an effects fan with an Australian/NZ plug, built for studios, theatres, theme parks, touring productions, photography sets, and film stages. Its 300 W brushless DC motor, deep-pitch blade, spiral grille, and air-inlet duct produce a focused column of controllable wind for haze, smoke, fabric, hair, confetti, snow, cooling, and ventilation work.
Why It Matters
A good effects fan is not just about moving air. It has to aim cleanly, respond quickly, stay light enough to rig, and plug into the control system without special treatment, which is why the Digi-Fan II combines manual control, Digital Multiplex (DMX) control, fast spin-up, and universal input in one 8.6 kg unit.
Key Features
- 300 W brushless DC motor delivers more than 60 % greater wind output than the previous generation while cutting energy consumption by at least 50 %.
- Manual slider and DMX-512 control let the fan work as a local set tool or as part of a programmed stage cue.
- 5-pin XLR DMX in and thru connectors support integration into existing theatre and film control systems.
- 360° manual tilt, M10 bracket hole, and included mounting spigot support truss hanging or stand mounting.
- 3 mm cable with Australian/NZ plug matches AU/NZ mains outlets for this regional version.
Applications
Built for blowing haze, smoke, bubbles, confetti, snow, wardrobe movement, scenic fabric, performer cooling, dimmer rack ventilation, amplifier cooling, and drying tasks on stages, sets, and themed environments.
Compatibility
Uses AC 100-240 V universal input with an Australian/NZ plug on this model; choose DF-502-EU or DF-502-US for Schuko or Edison plug versions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be controlled from a lighting console?
Yes. It supports DMX-512 control through 5-pin XLR in and thru connectors, while still offering a manual slider for local operation.
Is the AU version different from the EU or US versions?
The fan specification is otherwise the same. The DF-502-AU ships with a 3 mm cable terminated in an Australian/NZ plug.
Can it be hung, or is it only a floor fan?
It can be hung from the M10 bracket plate with suitable rigging hardware or mounted on a stand using the included mounting spigot.
