The MkII builds on its predecessor with a 12-inch sealed axial motor, integrated DMX, an included analogue timer remote control, instant-on response, low minimum speed, and a maximum noise output of 70 dBA. Both models support floor standing or truss mounting and suit indoor or outdoor applications including touring, stage, theme parks and cruise ships.
Martin JEM AF-1 / JEM AF-1 MKII — buyer FAQs
What is the Martin JEM AF-1 and what does it do?
The Martin JEM AF-1 is a professional effect fan designed for use with the JEM range of fog machines. It can convert smoke to haze, generate wind effects, project smoke down long lengths of ducting, and keep equipment such as amp and dimmer racks cool. It supports single-channel DMX operation and can be controlled via analogue link sockets, with fan speed adjustable from 0 to 2500 rpm.
How does the JEM AF-1 MkII differ from the original AF-1?
The MkII uses a 12-inch sealed axial motor with integrated DMX and includes an analogue timer remote control, whereas the original AF-1 relies on analogue link sockets and single-channel DMX without a bundled remote. The MkII adds instant-on response, a lower minimum speed, and reduced motor noise, producing a maximum of 70 dBA at full output. Both versions support floor standing or truss mounting.
Where does the JEM AF-1 sit in the Martin Professional range?
Martin Professional is a Danish entertainment technology manufacturer founded in 1986 and known for effects, lighting and related accessories for live performance, touring and themed environments. The JEM AF-1 and AF-1 MkII sit within Martin's JEM effects line, serving as dedicated airforce fans built specifically to work alongside JEM fog machines in touring, stage, theme park and cruise ship applications.
What installations and applications suit a used JEM AF-1 or AF-1 MkII?
Both models suit indoor and outdoor use across touring, stage, theme parks and cruise ships. They can be installed from the ceiling, in truss, or floor standing, making them adaptable to varied production setups. Their ability to project smoke down long lengths of ducting and provide variable fan speed control also makes them practical for equipment cooling and atmospheric effect work in fixed installations.
What should I check when buying a second-hand JEM AF-1 or AF-1 MkII?
Confirm whether the unit is the original AF-1 or the MkII, since they differ in motor, control options and included accessories. Check that the sealed motor shows no signs of moisture damage and that DMX response is consistent across the speed range. For the MkII, verify the analogue timer remote control is included.
