MB-8 Build Details, Size Options, and Motor Notes
3/8-Inch Glass Tile Surface for Bright, Broken-Up Reflections
The MB-8 uses 3/8-inch glass mirror tiles and an increased number of mirrored tiles compared to traditional mirror balls.
The result is a more continuous reflective surface that throws lively, scattered reflections when your lighting hits it.
ABS Foam Core Interior with an 8-Inch, 2 lb Form Factor
Inside, the MB-8 is built around an ABS foam core. At 8.00" x 8.00" x 8.00" and 2.00 lbs, it is a compact mirror-ball option
for indoor DJ and event setups where you want classic disco texture without a large footprint.
Hanging Ring with Axis Connection for Motor-Based Rotation
The MB-8 includes a security ring with an axis connection designed for suspension and motor-style movement.
Mirror ball motors are sold separately, and the MB-8 is listed for use with X-MBM1 (or 3 RPM motors).
Size Lineup and X-MOTOS Compatibility Callout
The mirror ball series is available in 8-inch, 12-inch, 16-inch, 20-inch, 30-inch, 36-inch, 40-inch, and 48-inch sizes.
Note: 8-inch, 12-inch, 36-inch, 40-inch, and 48-inch mirror balls are not supported by X-MOTOS motors.
How to Deploy ProX MB-8 in the Field
Suspend the ProX MB-8 using its hanging ring and axis connection when you want mirror-ball movement in your lighting look.
For rotation, pair it with an X-MBM1 (or a 3 RPM motor) as listed, and plan your motor choice around the MB-8 size support notes.
Because the MB-8 is designed as a universal mirror ball effect, it can be integrated into a wide range of indoor DJ lighting rigs where reflected texture is the goal.
- Match the motor type to the application: Use the listed motor pairing (X-MBM1 or 3 RPM motors) for rotation-style effects.
- Respect motor compatibility notes: The 8-inch size is called out as not supported by X-MOTOS motors.
- Scale the visual to the room: Use the broader size lineup when you need more presence than an 8-inch sphere provides.
Deploy the MB-8 when you want instant classic disco reflections, with simple hang-and-spin integration using the listed motor pairing notes.
