Bring the Room to Life — ProX MB-12 12-Inch Mirror Ball for DJ Lighting
ProX MB-12 is a classic 12-inch mirror ball designed to turn any lighting rig into a moving, crowd-energizing effect. Built with 3/8 inch glass mirror tiles and an ABS foam core interior, it is made to throw bright, dazzling reflections and color across dance floors, walls, and ceilings when paired with a rotating motor.
This mirror ball is built with an increased number of mirrored tiles compared to traditional mirror balls, which helps create a denser reflection pattern for club nights, wedding receptions, and event spaces where you want the light to feel alive without changing your entire rig. A security ring with axis connection supports stable hanging and smooth rotation when used with a compatible motor.
For rotation, MB-12 can be used with X-MBM1 or other 3 RPM motors (sold separately). Note: sizes 8 inch, 12 inch, 36 inch, 40 inch, and 48 inch are currently not supported by X-MOTOS motors.

What Makes the ProX MB-12 Hit Hard on the Dancefloor
High-Tile Coverage for Brighter, Denser Sparkle
MB-12 uses 3/8 inch glass mirror tiles and is built with an increased number of mirrored tiles compared to traditional mirror balls. The result is a more filled-in reflection pattern that reads as richer movement across the room when your beam hits the sphere.
ABS Foam Core for Practical Hanging and Transport
The ABS foam core interior supports the mirror-ball form factor while keeping it practical for DJs and event crews who transport lighting gear, set up quickly, and strike at the end of the night.
Security Ring with Axis Connection for Stable Rotation
The included hanging hardware is designed to support stable suspension and smoother rotation with a compatible motor. This matters when you want consistent movement and reflections that do not feel jittery or uneven.
Motor Pairing Notes That Prevent Wrong-Buy Headaches
MB-12 is intended for X-MBM1 or other 3 RPM motors (sold separately). For planning: sizes 8 inch, 12 inch, 36 inch, 40 inch, and 48 inch are currently not supported by X-MOTOS motors.

This mirror ball is designed to work with virtually any lighting rig and becomes more impactful when your beams are focused and intentionally placed.
- Hang from a stable point: Use the security ring with axis connection and hang from a properly rated mounting point for your setup.
- Choose the right motor type: MB-12 is designed for X-MBM1 or other 3 RPM motors (sold separately).
- Avoid known mismatch motors: MB-12 is currently not supported by X-MOTOS motors.
- Build the look with beam placement: Aim focused light sources toward the sphere to create room-wide movement and reflections.
- Keep it indoor-clean: For best presentation, keep the mirror surface free of grime and scuffs so reflections stay crisp.
- Plan strike and transport: Allow the ball to stop rotating before handling, and pack to protect the mirrored tile surface.
Hang it securely, pair it with a 3 RPM motor, and aim focused beams for full-room sparkle that reads instantly on a DJ dancefloor.
