ALPHA BEAM 300

Exclusively presented by Clay Paky, ALPHA BEAM 300 produces a superconcentrated near parallel light beam, for a use very similar to that of a Par 64 ACL, always present in all the big Rock’n’Roll shows, but with superior and innovative features.

The new, special Clay Paky optical group, with a 300 W lamp produces three times the brightness as that of an ordinary 1200 W wash projector, generating an extraordinary “tube of light” with a natural beam of 8°.

The aperture and graphics of the “tube of light” can be decided at will by using the 8 fixed gobos available, while a linear frost can be used to pass from a narrow hard beam to a more or less soft one.

CMY colour mixing and a colour wheel (8+1) allow the light beam to be coloured at will.

A Dimmer on a dedicated channel, stop/strobe and high speed Pan/Tilt complete the ALPHA BEAM 300 configuration.

Innovative and complete, compact, service friendly and easy to install and use, ALPHA BEAM 300 is the ideal Moving Light Beam for “live” professional use especially “long throw” to cut through the brightness of stage washes or LED backgrounds, with Aircraft Landing light effects never seen before.

MORE INFO
An exclusive MOVING LIGHT BEAM

The only 300W Moving Light Beam on the market able to release an Aircraft Landing light effect from a powerful, light and compact moving body.
Like an ACL Par64, the Alpha Beam 300 can be used in “live” environments, especially for “long throw” use, and in addition to the former offering a series of graphic and movement capacities impossible to imagine so far.

Unequalled BRIGHTNESS

The new special Clay Paky optical group, with a 300W lamp and an unique elliptical reflector with a smooth surface is three times brighter than an ordinary 1200W wash projector, generating an extraordinary “tunnel of light” with a natural beam of 8°.

Complete GRAPHICS

The opening and graphics of the “tunnel of light” can be decided at will with the 8 fixed gobos available as standard (4 standard gobos + 4 beam angle reduction gobos) and easily interchangeable.

Patented FROST

The innovative frost system (Patent Pending), based on the inclusion of two high quality diffusion filters, allows the linear passage from a sharp beam to a soft one with two angles of diffusion, typical of a regular wash, with the obvious advantages of the two projection modes.

The COLOR makes the difference

CMY + Color Wheel (8+1) that allow the light beam to be colored at will, exceeding the traditional concentration of the Par64, which requires the manual insertion of gelatine filters. 2 CTO filters (3200K and 2500K), 1 CTB filter and a selection of new colors particularly demanded for professional use: Orange, Aquamarine, deep Green, deep Blue (Night Light effect) and saturated Red.
The color wheel uses a new snap-shot system that increases the color changing speed.

Standard ELECTRONIC BALLAST

The first product in its category with a standard electronic ballast that means total absence of flickering, a universal power supply selectable automatically and, naturally, the product weighs less.

Wide and fast PAN and TILT movements

Unlike an ACL Par64, with a 540° PAN and a 250° TILT, the Alpha Beam 300 superconcentrated light beam can be pointed and moved with ease onto the stage, the audience, the ceiling or towards the sky for open-air events. Three-phase motors have been introduced in the Alpha Beam 300 to allow faster Pan (2.75sec/540°) and Tilt (1.65sec/250°) movements.
