Rental-Ready Laser, Built for Small Crews
Who This Benefits
Rental houses, mobile DJs, boutique AV teams, and hotels that need reliable laser light show projector results with minimal crew and predictable prep.
Why A8 Is a Spec-First Choice
- 3W RGB, 1.2 mrad for crisp text/lines
- 25 Kpps @ 8° (32° max): smooth logos & geometry
- Auto / Sound / Bluetooth App: instant deployment for no-console shows
- DMX512 / Master-Slave: fast integration into small rigs
- Battery 3–4h: cable-free activations and pop-ups
The 10-Minute Prep Checklist (Copy-Paste for Crew)
- Open case → Visual QC (lens clean, bracket tight, accessories present)
- Power on → Auto/Sound for rush jobs (verify output & scan)
- Bluetooth App pair → load client preset list
- Mount above eye line → confirm 10–20 m throw
- Optional haze → confirm beam volume & camera read
- DMX linking → scene cues for intros/dance sets
- Logo/text check → spacing; brightness 20–40% for cameras
- Safety → lines over heads; no mirror hits
- Power plan → AC tidy or log battery %
- Sign-off → preset name + cue timing noted
SKUs, ROI & Package Recipes

Integration & Control for Pros
Bluetooth App → DMX512 Growth Path
Start with the Bluetooth App for quick tweaks, then expand into DMX512 when you need timed cues, multi-scene shows, or synced DJ lights.
Master-Slave for Small Rigs
Mirror looks without a console. For symmetry, place an A8 on each truss corner and link Master-Slave.
