This entry-level moving head from Varytec features incredibly powerful LED lights and a zoom function for adjusting the beam angle that users would normally expect to find in spotlights of a higher price category. The budget-friendly Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom in elegant black (also available in a white housing) comprises 4-in-1 LEDs, which means that it delivers a different light output than models with 6-in-1 LEDs such as the Hero Wash 715 Hex LED. Compared to many similar products from competitors, however, this powerful party light scores points thanks to its robust power twist input socket and an optional wireless control function using a Varytec IR remote control (available separately). The scope of delivery of the Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom also includes a power cable, a DMX cable, a mounting bracket, and a safety eyebolt.
Thanks to seven powerful 12-watt RGBW LEDs that ensure a uniform light output and a motorised zoom that allows the beam angle to be gradually adjusted (in increments) within a range from 6° to 36°, the Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom is the ideal solution for illuminating areas with a wash light or creating small individual light accents. Its low weight of just 4.2kg allows it to be easily set up on a stage floor or suspended in a lighting rig. In the latter case, users can activate the integrated reversal function to rotate the display by 180° and facilitate readability. Further practical functions that can also be directly accessed via the menu buttons at any time during operation include eight automatic programmes with a pre-defined beam angle, a strobe effect, and a sound control mode, all of which will come in particularly useful at just about every type of party. Alternatively, the Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom can be controlled via eight or 15-channel DMX, or using a separately available remote control.
The Varytec Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom moving head is the ideal tool for budget-conscious users who want to create a vibrant party atmosphere in small venues such as bars, clubs, or basements. Activating the sound control mode on the moving head and adjusting its sensitivity to the volume of the music is a breeze, so barkeepers and party organisers are completely free to attend to their guests for the rest of the evening. Thanks to its strobe effect, automatic programmes, low weight, and low-noise fan, the Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom will also be an excellent choice for mobile DJs who are looking for a portable moving light for small dance floors. And touring entertainers who perform in venues of various sizes can easily adapt the beam angle to the dimensions of the specific stage area using the integrated zoom function and control the moving light from a distance with an optional remote control.
Over the years, Thomann has greatly enriched its already extensive range of lighting products with its in-house brand Varytec. In addition to LED spotlights, theatre lighting, and moving lights, Varytec offers an arsenal of matching accessories. Tripods, cables, power distributors, and all kinds of other components are, like the lighting solutions themselves, manufactured by well-known names in the field. The firm's direct sales approach, which eliminates intermediate retailers, ensures that all of these products are nevertheless attractively priced. Varytec's range comprises well over 200 items, which will illuminate everything from home-streamer setups to photo studios, theatres, and concert halls.
To free up space on the stage or dance floor, the Varytec Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom can be easily suspended in a lighting rig using the included mounting bracket and an optionally available suspension adapter, and secured using an optional safety cord and the included eyebolt. The suspended moving head can then be conveniently controlled via an infrared remote control, which is available as an optional accessory and requires a clear line of sight to the front of the base. The master/slave mode even allows several Hero Wash 712 Z RGBW Zoom units to be combined as a group to create an even more impressive light show. For example, users can configure several groups of lights to move in opposite directions using the pan or tilt reverse functions, then mix and slowly fade the colours of selected groups via 15 DMX channels, or cast flashing strobe lights at variable speed to the beat of the music. Suitable cases for transporting two, four, or six Hero Wash units can be purchased separately.
