ProX MB-20 Mirror Ball — 20-Inch Sparkle Engine for DJ Lighting
ProX MB-20 is a 20-inch bright silver mirror ball built to turn almost any lighting rig into a classic, crowd-moving effect. Constructed with appx 3/8 inch glass mirror tiles over an ABS foam core interior, MB-20 is designed to throw dazzling reflections of reflected light and color across the room when rotated.
ProX mirror balls are built with an increased number of mirrored tiles compared to traditional mirror balls, helping the reflection pattern feel denser and more immersive as it moves. A security ring with axis connection supports stable hanging and smoother rotation, which matters when you want the effect to look clean on the dance floor and in photos.
For rotation, MB-20 is listed for use with X-MBM1 (or other 3 RPM motors) (sold separately), and it is described as a universal mirror ball that can be used with any brand motor that fits the use case.

Rotation and Operation Notes — ProX MB-20 (Control Modes)
ProX MB-20 is a non-powered mirror ball, so it has no onboard control modes, presets, or settings. The motion and look are determined by your mirror ball motor and the way you aim your lighting.
- Motor use case: Listed for use with X-MBM1 or other 3 RPM motors (sold separately).
- Look control is beam-driven: Focused beams create sharper sparkle movement, while wider washes create softer room texture.
- Rig planning note: MB-20 is described as usable with any brand motor that fits the mirror ball motor use case.
What Makes the ProX MB-20 a Bigger, Cleaner Mirror Ball Look
Appx 3/8 Inch Mirror Tiles for Bright, Readable Sparkle
MB-20 is equipped with appx 3/8 inch mirrored tiles, built to throw crisp reflections when hit with focused light. This tile size and surface layout are key to a mirror ball look that reads clearly from across the floor.
Increased Tile Count for Denser Reflected Light
ProX states their mirror balls use an increased number of mirrored tiles compared to traditional mirror balls. That higher coverage helps the reflection field feel fuller as the sphere rotates, instead of looking sparse or patchy.
ABS Foam Core Built for Event Deployment
The ABS foam core interior supports the mirror sphere format for real-world production use where gear is transported, hung, and struck repeatedly.
Security Ring with Axis Connection for Smoother Rotation
The security ring with axis connection is designed to support stable suspension and cleaner rotation with a compatible motor, helping the movement look intentional instead of sloppy.
Sizing Lineup for Matching the Room
ProX lists the mirror ball series in multiple sizes: 8 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch, 24 inch, 30 inch, 36 inch, 40 inch, 48 inch. MB-20 sits in the larger, high-visibility range for venues that need more coverage.

How to Deploy ProX MB-20 in the Field
Deploy the MB-20 as a true centerpiece: hang it securely, rotate it with a compatible motor, and aim your fixtures so reflections sweep the dance floor and ceiling. The cleanest mirror ball look comes from stable suspension, consistent rotation, and intentional beam placement.
- Hang from a properly rated point: Use the security ring with axis connection and ensure your mounting point and hardware are appropriate for the installation.
- Pair the right motor type: ProX lists MB-20 for use with X-MBM1 or other 3 RPM motors (sold separately).
- Build the effect with beam placement: Aim focused beams at the sphere for sharper sparkle movement; adjust angles to spread reflections across the room.
- Plan for handling: Allow rotation to stop before handling, and pack to protect the mirrored tile surface during transport.
- Use size to your advantage: Position MB-20 where reflections can travel across open surfaces rather than getting blocked by décor or low ceilings.
Secure hang + 3 RPM rotation + focused beams creates a bigger, cleaner mirror-ball look that reads instantly on DJ dance floors.
