Fog/Haze Machine Antari IP-1600 (model 51702816) – professional water-based fog output, DMX compatible

The Antari IP-1600 is a professional fog/haze machine engineered for stage, studio and event applications. It generates water-based fog suitable for enhancing lighting effects, creating atmospheric haze and emphasizing beam patterns. Designed for continuous or timed output, the unit supports DMX control for integration with lighting desks and show control systems and provides reliable, consistent fog output for live performance environments.

Advantages

The Antari IP-1600 delivers a fine, water-based haze that disperses evenly and highlights light beams without leaving oily residues. DMX compatibility allows precise remote control of output intensity, duration and timing, while the machine's build supports extended operation in professional settings. Water-based fluid use reduces smoke smell and cleanup compared with oil-based alternatives.

Suitable for

• Concerts and live music venues to enhance lighting and laser effects
• Theatre productions and stage performances for atmosphere and scene transitions
• Film, television and photography studios requiring controllable haze
• Corporate events, trade shows and exhibitions to emphasize lighting designs
• Clubs and entertainment venues that use fog to augment visual effects

When it may not be suitable

This fog/haze machine uses water-based fluid and is not designed for producing dense, short-lived plumes intended solely for pyrotechnic concealment; it is optimized for continuous haze and controlled fog effects. Environments with strict ventilation constraints or locations where any fog is prohibited for safety or regulatory reasons may not be appropriate for use.

Key specifications

• Fluid type: water-based fog/haze fluid
• Control: DMX-compatible control interface for remote operation
• Intended use: professional stage, event and studio applications
• Output characteristics: consistent, fine haze suitable for lighting enhancement
• Operation modes: continuous and timed output options for show control

How to use

Fill the reservoir with the recommended water-based fog fluid, place the unit on a stable surface or mount according to the manufacturer's guidelines, and connect power and DMX/control cabling as required. Start with low output settings to assess dispersion in the venue, then adjust DMX channels or on-unit controls to achieve the desired haze density. Allow the machine to warm up per the user manual before extended operation and monitor fluid level and ventilation throughout use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your venue's ventilation and safety regulations regarding theatrical fog and haze
• Verify that DMX integration fits your lighting/control setup and cabling requirements
• Plan for ongoing costs such as recommended water-based fluid and routine maintenance
• Ensure placement allows safe operation, avoiding obstruction of air intakes and heat sources

Usage recommendations

Use recommended water-based fluids only, perform initial tests at low output to determine optimal DMX settings for your lighting, and schedule regular maintenance checks to preserve consistent fog quality and reliable performance.
