MDG’s stylish new stand was a popular gathering place for those interested in the
best of atmosphere generation. The stand was busy on all days with visitors
interested in products across the board, and receiving demonstrations of the
Atmosphere™ range, the Me™ Family, the IceFog™ Series of low-fog generators
and the award-winning, theOne™. Customers also benefited from fabulous videos
that showed on screen how to unleash the full potential of some of the larger
generators that the environs of a trade show were not able to accommodate.

One of these was the new Me8™ fog generator which was launched at the show to
great excitement. The biggest of the Me Series, the Me8™ is an 8-nozzled monster
capable of pumping out a massive 800m3 of fog per minute. Visitors were able to
witness the speed at which it could fill a 60m x 30m x 8m (15,000m3) space with
thick white fog.

“Yet the response was unanimous from our customers,’ says MDG CEO, Martin
Michaud, “That is, “how can that much fog come from such a compact unit!’’ The
new monster has already garnered some nicknames such as The Beast and La
Machine de Guerre and attracted the attention of technicians from the film industry
and larger outdoor music venues. “This makes us very happy as this is precisely the
market we designed the Me8 for,’ says Michaud. “We also hear from our
distributors that they believe the Me8 completes the Me Series very well.’

Designed primarily for large-scale applications, both indoor and out, and destined
for huge venues and stadia, the Me8 is also perfect for fire fighter and military
training, ventilation testing and special effects for movies.

Like all members of the Me Series, the Me8 benefits from a 1% – 100% variable fog
output that can be controlled directly from a lighting console or via local control, a
100% duty cycle that guarantees high-quality, consistent fog at all levels of output,
and MDG’s famous Automatic Purging System™ (APS™). Numerous control options
are on-board as standard and include 3 standard USITT DMX512 channels, XLR-5
connectors, a 4-button LCD user interface and RDM compliancy.

“Several customers have asked if the Me8 will be the last of the family,’ concludes
Michaud. “We can’t envisage anyone needed greater volumes of fog than those
generated by Me8, but if the request for an Me16 comes in…MDG never says
never!’
