Is the equipment built for outdoor weather?
The machines are built with professional-grade, corrosion-resistant pump and pipe systems. While they are rugged enough for outdoor stage environments, they should be protected from direct heavy rain and extreme sand exposure when not in use.
How do I control the movements and firing?
Both machines are fully compatible with DMX control. This allows you to program precise firing times, flame angles (up to 210° for the Waver), and LED lighting synchronization directly from your lighting console.
Are these machines suitable for indoor use?
The SonicBoom is widely used indoors as it produces a clean, water-based smoke. The cFlamer Waver, however, is a real-flame effect and requires specific ceiling heights, ventilation, and safety clearances. Always check local fire safety regulations before indoor installation.
How much fuel or fluid can the machines hold?
The cFlamer Waver features a large 10.2L fuel tank, designed for professional use. This high capacity allows for extended show durations without the need for frequent refills during an event.
Can the cFlamer Waver create different colors?
Yes, the system is designed specifically for color flames. By using specialized color fuels, you can produce vibrant fire effects in various hues to match your event's theme or lighting design.
Do these machines require CO2 tanks?
No. The SonicBoom is a water-based system that simulates the CO2 effect without the need for bulky, high-pressure gas cylinders. This makes it significantly easier to transport and much more cost-effective to operate.
How long can the machines fire continuously?
To ensure safety and equipment longevity, the maximum single firing duration for the cFlamer Waver is 5 seconds. However, it can perform multiple rapid-fire bursts in quick succession during a sequence.
What is the maximum height the flames can reach?
The cFlamer Waver is capable of reaching a maximum flame height of 8 to 10 meters (approx. 26-33 feet) in no-wind conditions, while the SonicBoom provides smoke bursts of up to 10 meters.
