International Dance Party machine means business
Looking to start a dance party? Well then, my friend, all you need is this International Dance Party, a machine that has one setting: party.
When inactive, it just looks like a big black box. But when its radar detects dancing, it opens up and starts pumping out beats. As the dancing picks up the pace, it starts a light show, and then fog starts coming out, and sooner or later somebody will have to call the cops, because the party will just be too intense. But hey, is there really such a thing as a party that's too intense? Something tells me that the International Dance Party machine would say no. And that's all you need to know.

Oh dear Lord, you have to go to the product page and watch the video. I know the 80's techno by "Bad Spella" (seriously), The Turbo shades, and the gratuitous dance scenes have me sold. Man, I needed a laugh like that to start my day! Thanks, Dvice! I'm sending this link to everyone I know.

Ok… The idea is good… but has anyone looked at the specs????? A puny 80W speaker powered by a home theater 5 channel am!!! They even tell you 5 channels at 130W each. Fine… Sounds good. But it’s STEREO!!! Only two channels are used… And to top that of, the RMS (continuous) power is only part of the small peak power of 130. Doesn’t matter, since the speakers are only 80w.
The lightshow is ok for a small system like this, but the sound REALLY needs a professional touch.
Seriously, when I do a show, I run two (count them… 2) PROFESSIONAL power amps rated at over 2000 watts each and four speakers that can easily carry the power.
Like I said, the concept is good, but man, some professional know-how is required!!!! These guys should hire some real technicians to design the thing, then maybe it will run.
As it is right now, the specs show that this thing will barley sound good at a house party and will do NOTHING for anything larger.
on your cellphone!
