General
Is a single moving head not enough for you? Or do you enjoy intelligent lighting that can be directly installed on a stand? The Showtec XS-2 might just be the thing for you! This armature is equipped with an electronic control bar, to which two moving heads are mounted. The moving heads project beams that are quite narrow, with a high light intensity and great colour diversity, thanks to the 10W LED.
Use of the XS-2
The XS-2 can be used in various ways. Firstly, it can be used in combination with a spigot adapter, which allows you to mount it directly on a 35mm stand. Place a stand sleeve in front of it, LED armature underneath it and your lighting show is good to go! It will look great at weddings and similar applications. The XS-2 can also be used for disco applications, as it can be positioned on the floor or fastened to a truss with G hooks or half couplers.
Operating Modes and Controls
The XS-2 can be used in a plug-and-play capacity in automatic or music-controlled mode, but with DMX controls you can really make the most of it. As the pan and tilt movements can be inverted for both heads, programming is easy. With the practical display, you will be able to adjust your favourite settings in no-time, so that you can make the most of the unit.

Uitgebreid te besturen met DMX, stand-alone programma's vallen mee.
De hoge lichtopbrengst van het apparaat ligt vooral aan het feit dat de stralen zeer gebundeld zijn: 4°. Hierdoor krijg je een beetje het effect van 2 ouderwetse pinspot zwenkspots. Dit is wel jammer want de gobo's komen eigenlijk niet tot zijn recht. Het grootste minpunt van het toestel.
2 toestellen combineren geeft een mooi effect. 1 toestel vind ik te weinig owv de gebundelde straal.
De koppen kunnen erg snel bewegen, het toestel maakt dan wel wat lawaai (niet te horen door muziek).
Een leuk apparaat. Erg praktisch, maar wil je een moving head die een brede waaierende straal geeft, koop dan een andere.
Handig built-in programs ook sound modus werk uitstekend (soms wat te gevoelig)
Via DMX is elke spot appart bestuurbaar (afhankelijk de kanaalmodus).
Zeer krachtige lichtbundels, erg snelle rotaties (maakt soms wel wat lawaai, enkel bij snelle bewegingen, bij stilstand of trage bewegingen hoor je ze amper)
Voor die prijs mocht er van mij wel gobo rotatie, een prisma of een gemotoriseerde focus opzitten...
Al heb ik ze wel in de beginperiode gekocht en toen waren ze nog zo'n 100 goedkoper...
Kortom het zijn degelijk movingheads en een echte budgetvriendelijke aanrader
Showtec XS-2 Movingheads LED
Een tijdje terug twee van deze armaturen besteld en al verschillende keren op klus gehad.
We gebruik ze op twee Wind-up statieven met een Compact Par 7 MKII erop gemonteerd.
De Movingheads:
Toen ik ze uitpakte 'oogte' ze nog al klein, Maar wat een BAK licht!. De stralen prikken makkelijk door de zaal D.M.V de smalle afstralingshoek, Echter zit hier voor mij ook het grootste nadeel aan. De gobo's komen hierdoor niet echt tot hun recht je hebt hier heel weinig effect van. Verder kun je elke spot apart aansturen dus je hebt in principe 2 supersnelle movingheads tot je beschikking.
Voordelen:
- Sterke lichtbundel door zaal
- Spot Individueel aanstuurbaar
- Veiligheid-oog!
- Makkelijk te programmeren
- Smooth dimbaar
- 35 mm statiefadapter voor direct op je statief.
- Ingebouwde programma's!!
- Zeer snel
Nadelen:
- Gobo's komen niet echt tot hun recht.
- Bij langzame bewegingen wil die nog wel is 'haperen'
- Stroboscoop functie loopt niet synchroon
Conclusie:
Ongeacht de nadelen is dit een zeer betrouwbaar armatuur. Makkelijk te hanteren en er zijn er leuke pinspot effecten mee te maken. Ook de beugel die meegeleverd is is handig als je bijvoorbeeld wil gaan riggen. Ik ben er zeer tevreden mee!

Uiteraard kan je dit toestel niet vergelijken met de véél duurdere modelen.
Voor mij volstaat het meer als voldoende om af en toe eens een feestje te gaan opluisteren !
Heb wel een min-puntje :de statief houder is 35 mm en mijn statieven zijn 38 mm maar dit is maar een detail :-)
zelf laat ik de programma's afspelen
dus geen omkijken naar .
1 puntje toch als ik de micro intensiteit instel op 00 dus slow/langzaam
dan gaat de head toch af toe een heel snel programma afspelen en dan weer langzaam...jammer
maar voor de rest een leuk apparaat met een beetje rook komen de 4 graden beams strak de zaal in
