If a product is branded as a “Martin” product this is aimed at the Club / DJ market. All products branded as a “JEM” product are classed as Professional and are aimed at the higher end touring / installation market.
These standards also meet the requirements of CISPR 22. JEM did not carry the CE mark on products that were produced prior to 1995. These products can be identified by either the DIN/XLR socket on the rear or top of the unit or the Mains PCB: If the unit has a 5 pin DIN or a 4 pin XLR without the CE text on the rear, the unit is classed as NON-CE.
Searching for information on the INTERNET If you require information with regards to JEM / Martin Smoke, Haze and Heavy Fog products an ideal place to start is the Internet. Martin has a dedicated team of staff who are constantly monitoring and updating the information that is placed onto the INTERNET.
Jem’s unique "8 x Mode" expands the time capability of the standard timer settings by multiples of 8, far beyond those normally found on fog machine remotes.
