Martin JEM AF-1 MKII 12" Variable Speed Effect Fan
Description
Martin JEM AF-1 MKII 12" Variable Speed Effect Fan
The JEM AF-1 MKII delivers responsive, variable-speed airflow control with minimal noise signature, making it equally effective at subtle low-speed operation or full-throttle performance. Its compact footprint and flexible mounting options—floor or hanging in any orientation—integrate seamlessly into touring rigs, permanent installations, and temporary event setups. Built to Martin's industry standard for effect fans, the AF-1 MKII combines sealed motor reliability with straightforward control for touring and theater venues, theme parks, cruise ships, and beyond.
Motor & Airflow Performance
The 12" sealed axial motor operates across a wide speed range (200–2500 rpm) with variable output from 0–100%, delivering up to 1815 m³/hour (1083 CFM) maximum airflow. Responsive control at low speeds ensures smooth ramping without dead zones, while the 70 dBA maximum noise level at full speed keeps acoustic footprint manageable even in sensitive environments.
Control & Connectivity
Dual control options—integrated DMX and an included analog timer remote control with 3-pin XLR connector (3 m cable, expandable to 50 m)—provide flexibility for both simple cue-based operation and complex show integration. The test switch enables on-site verification without requiring external equipment.
