Antari Z1520 RGB

The Antari Z-1520 RGB is a high-output vertical fog jet that combines dramatic fog columns with built-in color. Its powerful heater shoots fog up to 6 meters high, while 22 bright 3W RGB LEDs light the plume in any color, so one machine delivers both a spectacular fog effect and a lighting effect. It’s the successor to Antari’s well-known Z-1020, built for stages, clubs, concerts, and events.

Antari Z-1520 RGB: Fog and Color in One Effect

Fog jets create the towering columns of fog seen at concerts and festivals, adding instant energy to drops, entrances, and big moments. The Z-1520 RGB goes further by lighting its own fog plume with 22 high-brightness RGB LEDs, so each blast can be red, blue, green, or any mix, synchronized with the rest of your show. You get a colored fog effect without aiming separate lights at the plume.

Flexible Control

Run the Z-1520 RGB from a lighting console over 8 DMX channels to control fog output and LED color precisely in time with the music. For simpler setups, use the included wireless remote to fire bursts and choose colors, set the built-in timer for automatic interval blasts, or link multiple units in master/slave mode for synchronized fog columns across the stage.

Setting Up the Z-1520 RGB

Place the unit on a stable, level surface at the front or rear of the stage with a clear path above it. Fill the tank with Antari FLC fog fluid, connect power via the powerCON input, and allow about five minutes for the heater to reach temperature. Connect DMX or pair the wireless remote, then test bursts and colors before the audience arrives. Keep the area above the nozzle clear of people, fabrics, and fixtures.

What to Pair With the Z-1520 RGB

Pair the Z-1520 RGB with Antari FLC fog fluid, a DMX controller or lighting console, DMX cables, and additional Z-1520 RGB units for symmetrical fog columns. Moving heads and beam fixtures look especially dramatic cutting through the fog.

Fog Jets vs. Standard Fog Machines

A standard fog machine fills a room with a haze of fog to show off light beams. A fog jet like the Z-1520 RGB fires a tight, powerful vertical column for a short, high-impact effect that dissipates quickly. Many productions use both: a hazer or fogger for atmosphere and fog jets for big moments like drops, intros, and finales.

Fluid and Maintenance

Antari specifies its FLC fog fluid for the Z-1520 RGB. Using the recommended fluid helps the heater perform properly and protects the machine, while other fluids may cause clogs or void the warranty. Keep the tank topped up during shows, store the machine upright, and run it regularly so the heater and pump stay in good condition.
