Fast-Start, Road-Case Faze Power for Big Rooms — ADJ Entourage
The ADJ Entourage is a professional faze machine built into its own flight case for touring reliability and fast show turns. A 1500W heater with a rapid 45-second warm-up feeds a fine atmospheric haze, while onboard fan and volume control shape output up to 15,000 cubic feet per minute when set to full. The external 5.6-liter fluid tank supports long runs, and DMX control (3 modes: 1/2/4 channels) or the onboard LCD with timer/manual functions makes operation simple in the booth or at FOH.
Connections include 3-pin and 5-pin DMX in/out and a locking PowerCon input. The road-case form factor (approx. 21" × 15.25" × 9.75", 47 lb) is designed for quick load-ins and efficient truck packs, ideal for Chicago ballrooms, clubs, theaters, and mobile DJ productions that need consistent, camera-friendly haze.

Control Modes for ADJ Entourage
Onboard LCD Controls: Timer mode with adjustable Duration (3–250 s) and Interval (5–250 s); Continuous fogging via HOLD (5–100% output and fan adjustable); Manual fogging at maximum output and fan while button is held. Stopping timer/continuous/ manual initiates a short Cleaning cycle before returning to the DMX screen.
- Warm-Up: Approximately 45 seconds from power-on.
- DMX Addressing: Set from the rear panel LCD.
DMX-512 (3 Modes):
- 1-Channel Mode — CH1: Output Volume (0% at 0–4; 5–100% at 5–255) with fan at 100% when output is active. At 0–4, fan defaults to 5%.
- 2-Channel Mode — CH1: Output Volume (0/5–100%); CH2: Fan Speed (5–100%). Note: Using CH1 only sets fan to a default ~30%.
- 4-Channel Mode — CH1: Output Volume (0/5–100%); CH2: Fan Speed (5–100%); CH3: Duration (3–250 s; 0–7 = 3 s); CH4: Interval (0 or 5–250 s; 0 = 0 s). Note: Using CH1 only sets fan to a default ~30%.
DMX Cabling: 3-pin and 5-pin XLR in/out supported; use 110–120 O DMX cable in a daisy chain. For long runs, terminate last fixture with 120 O between pins 2 and 3. Do not connect to dimmers.
Flight-Case Form Factor that Speeds Every Turn
The integrated road case protects the machine, manages airflow via side filtering, and keeps the output path clear. Lid off, power in, fluid checked—then haze on stage in under a minute.
Fine Haze, Not Obscuring Fog
Designed to enhance beams and scenery without clouding views, the Entourage blends heater output with a controllable fan to deliver even, repeatable atmospheric texture across wide throws.
Service-Smart Design for Long Life
Post-run cleaning cycles, accessible filters, and guidance for periodic sponge/nozzle maintenance support reliable performance over extended use. Use only high-quality water-based fog fluid.
Power & Safety Built for Real Venues
Locking PowerCon input resists unplugging on busy stages. CE certification supports compliance workflows. Caution: fog machines may trigger smoke detectors—coordinate with venue staff.
How to Deploy ADJ Entourage in the Field
- Place & Power: Set the road-case base on a stable, ventilated surface with the output deflector clear. Connect locking PowerCon to mains.
- Fluid Prep: Fill the external 5.6 L tank with ADJ water-based fog fluid (e.g., F4L Premium, F1L Premium, F4L ECO). Seat the feeder tube filter fully; secure the cap.
- Warm-Up: Allow approximately 45 seconds. The LCD indicates readiness.
- Control: For standalone, set timer duration/interval or use HOLD for continuous; for lighting consoles, patch DMX at 1/2/4 channels as needed.
- Focus the Haze: Adjust Volume and Fan to balance beam visibility and sightlines; start conservatively in venues with active detectors.
- Strike & Store: After stopping output, allow the automatic cleaning cycle to finish. Power down, cap fluid, and keep ventilation paths clear during storage.
Power, warm, balance volume and fan—consistent, even haze in under a minute.
