Easy to use auto-mode

The RAW (DMX + ILDA) is designed to run a full laser show without requiring any programming or external control. With built-in auto and sound-reactive modes, the system can generate dynamic effects on its own, adapting in real time to your environment.

Sound-reactive mode uses an integrated microphone to detect music and trigger effects in sync with the beat, while auto mode runs pre-programmed sequences for continuous operation.

What this means for your show:

• Run a complete laser show with zero setup or programming
• Stay in sync with your music automatically
• Keep your focus on DJing, not controlling visuals
• Get consistent, professional-looking effects every time

What this means for your show:

• Plug into your existing DMX setup with ease
• Choose between simple control or more advanced customization
• Trigger effects, colors, and patterns on demand
• Scale your control as your setup grows

Color macros

The RAW (DMX + ILDA) includes pre-programmed color macros that make it easy to access a wide range of vibrant colors instantly. Instead of manually balancing red, green, and blue levels, you can quickly select from optimized color combinations designed to look great in real-world environments.

These macros are tuned for brightness and visual impact, ensuring consistent color output across different effects and show conditions.

What this means for your show:

• Instantly switch colors without manual adjustment
• Match the mood of your music or event in seconds
• Maintain consistent, high-quality color output
• Spend less time tweaking and more time performing

Built-in gobos

Built-in gobos give you access to a variety of preloaded patterns and shapes that can be projected instantly. These patterns add structure and visual interest to your show, whether you're creating ambient textures or more defined beam effects.

Because they are already optimized for the system, you can use them right away without creating or importing custom content.

What this means for your show:

• Add recognizable patterns and textures instantly
• Create more dynamic and engaging visuals
• No need for custom graphics or additional setup
• Expand your visual variety right out of the box

User serviceable

Most laser projectors treat internal servicing as something only a factory technician should touch. The RAW (DMX+ILDA) is built differently. It features dedicated access panels that give you direct access to the optical train, so you can perform color convergence alignment and module alignment yourself, without shipping the unit back to a manufacturer.

Color convergence is the process of aligning your red, green, and blue beams so they stack perfectly on top of each other. Over time, vibration and transport can cause these beams to drift. With the RAW (DMX+ILDA)'s accessible dichroic mounts and Pangolin's step-by-step alignment guide, you can diagnose and correct these issues at home or in your shop before heading out to a show.

What this means for your show:

• Fix color convergence issues yourself without sending the unit in for service
• Check and correct alignment at home before every show
• Access panels let you reach the optical train quickly and cleanly
• Pangolin's full alignment guide walks you through every step of the process

Safety & compliance

Laser shows in the United States require a variance from the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health before any public performance. For most operators, navigating that process alone is a serious barrier. With the RAW (DMX+ILDA), Pangolin handles the variance process on your behalf, so you're covered before your first show.

The RAW (DMX+ILDA) is fully compliant with US laser regulations out of the box, meaning you can focus on your show instead of paperwork, and perform with confidence at clubs, venues, and festivals across the country.

What this means for your show:

• FDA variance handled for you, no paperwork or regulatory navigation on your end
• Perform legally at clubs, venues, and festivals across the United States
• Full US regulatory compliance included from day one
• Go from purchase to compliant, stage-ready operation faster than any competing system
