ADJ Entour Pileus 1650W Hybrid Water-Based Fog and Faze Machine for Large Venues
The ADJ Entour Pileus is a professional, tour-ready atmospheric generator built to cover large rooms with either dense fog plumes or a
fine faze-like mist using standard water-based fog fluid. At the core is a 1650W heater paired with a variable-speed dispersion fan
and advanced fluid consumption management, giving you the control to shape the look from aggressive bursts to clean, steady atmosphere.
Output is designed for scale, with a published performance of 60,000 cubic feet per minute. To keep production moving, the Entour Pileus ships in a
rugged road case with heavy-duty locking casters, and it includes dual 5.6L tanks so you can stock up on fluid or switch quickly
between fog fluid and faze fluid workflows. Multiple control paths are built in for live production, including onboard timer control, a 6-button LCD interface,
and 5-pin DMX in/out with 3 channel modes.
For tours and high-use environments, the unit includes OVP over-voltage protection and a self-cleaning system with a published
30-second cleaning duration. The Entour Pileus is CE certified and is engineered for professional reliability when the atmosphere is part of the show, not an afterthought.

Show-Scale Atmosphere Control Built Into Entour Pileus
Hybrid fog and faze behavior from one platform
Entour Pileus is built to cover two common production needs without swapping machines: thick, punchy fog bursts for impact moments,
and a finer atmospheric mist when you want beams and washes to hang in the air without turning the room into a whiteout.
High-output delivery for big rooms and fast fills
With a published 60,000 cu ft/min output, this unit is built for scale. Pair that output with controlled adjustments to keep the look intentional:
- Fog output adjustment: 5 to 100 percent for controlled bursts or steady atmosphere.
- Fan speed adjustment: 5 to 100 percent to tune dispersion for the venue.
Dual 5.6L tanks for changeovers and long runs
Dual 5.6L tanks are built for real production pacing, letting you run longer without constant refills or switch between fog-focused and mist-focused workflows faster when the cue list changes.
Burst control that protects pacing in live shows
Output timing is published with a 35-second max output duration when continuous mode is off, plus a continuous mode option that automatically adjusts output to allow longer burst behavior.
That gives operators a practical way to keep atmosphere consistent without overdriving the look.
Road-case build for tours and high-turn mobile production
The rugged road case housing and heavy-duty locking casters are designed for repeated load-ins, fast stage flips, and positioning the unit where dispersion and cable routing make the most sense.
Self-cleaning cycle for faster resets
A built-in self-cleaning system with a published 30-second cleaning duration supports faster turnaround between runs and helps keep the unit ready for the next cue.
How to Deploy ADJ Entour Pileus in the Field
Deploy Entour Pileus by treating it like an atmosphere engine, not a novelty: place it where airflow can push the output into the room, then tune fog output and fan speed to match the venue size and the lighting you want to reveal.
For tours and large events, plan your fluid strategy around the dual tanks and choose a control method that matches your show cues.
Set placement for clean airflow, then dial output and fan speed so the room reads atmospheric, not cloudy.
- Positioning: Use the road case and locking casters to place the unit where the dispersion fan can push output into the open room, not into soft goods or blocked corners.
- Dial the look: Start conservative, then use fog output adjustment 5 to 100 percent and fan speed adjustment 5 to 100 percent to land the density you want.
- DMX integration: Patch via 5-pin DMX in/out and select the channel mode (1CH, 2CH, 4CH) that matches your cue detail and console workflow.
- Burst planning: Use the published max output duration and continuous mode option to manage longer pushes without forcing the room into a constant heavy fog state.
- Fluid logistics: Use the dual 5.6L tanks to reduce refill interruptions or to keep different fluid workflows ready for fast changeovers.
- Environmental limit: Stay within the published max ambient temperature (Ta) of 40 C.

What control options and DMX modes are available?
It includes onboard timer control, an LCD display with 6-button control, remote controller connectors via 1/4 inch jack, and 5-pin DMX in/out with 3 DMX channel modes: 1CH, 2CH, and 4CH.
How do I keep the room from getting too cloudy during long runs?
Use fog output adjustment (5 to 100 percent) and fan speed adjustment (5 to 100 percent) to balance density and dispersion. A continuous mode option is listed that automatically adjusts output to allow for longer burst behavior.
For Chicago DJs, what is a reliable approach for weddings and ballrooms?
Position the unit for clean airflow, then run a controlled atmospheric layer by setting modest output and tuning the fan so beams and uplighting read without flooding the room. Lock the casters, then use timer control or DMX cues for consistent timing.
