© American DJ® Los Angeles, CA 90058 - Crusader User Manual page 2
Introduction: Thank you for purchasing the Crusader™ by American DJ®. For your convenience the
Crusader™ has been lamped and is ready for use, there is no assembly necessary. The Crusader™ may
be hung or set on a flat surface. The Crusader™ comes with a 4-way prism mirrored. This prism crates a
four (4) pattern reflection of the gobo. This fixture projects in split color combinations.
Operating Instructions: This unit comes with a 3-way operating switch located on the front of
the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating modes; Static, Sound Active, and Continuous
Rotation. When the switch is in the "I" position the unit will react to the beat of music via its internal
microphone. When the unit is in the "0" position the fixture will act as a static gobo projector, the gobo
will not rotate nor will the colors change. When the switch is in the "II" position the unit's gobo and color
wheels will rotate in a continuous pattern not reacting to a sound source.
