Compact show lasers make up Laserworld’s CUBE range, covered here across four models: CUBE 1, CUBE 1.5, CUBE 3 and CUBE 7. All four are analogue-modulated RGB diode lasers, stepping from 1,000 mW total output on the CUBE 1 through 1,500 mW and 3,000 mW to 7,000 mW on the CUBE 7, so match the unit to room size and throw distance rather than defaulting to the biggest on the list.

Control is flexible for the format: a Bluetooth app for iOS and Android handles show selection and custom text and graphics, alongside DMX, stand-alone and music modes and more than 250 built-in patterns, and models such as the CUBE 1.5 and CUBE 7 carry built-in batteries for cable-free running. As with any laser, output needs haze, and beam paths should stay above head height unless an audience-scanning risk assessment has been carried out.
