CO₂-style plume · fog fluid · DMX cue · integrated light
Showven smoke jets with lighting and DMX control.
Showven SONICBOOM vertical smoke jets create fast, illuminated plumes for concerts, DJ sets, sports, entrances, countdowns, reveals, weddings and brand activations—using compatible quick-dissipating fog fluid instead of compressed CO₂ cylinders.
Start with the effect you want, even if the model, quantity, or venue is still undecided. Tell us when it should happen in the show and share any photos or references you have. We review the options with you and coordinate the technical information and approvals needed before confirming the setup.
Choose by output and cue
Compare height, burst duration and power by model.
We review the desired height, burst duration, fluid capacity, power, positions, and actual room conditions with you to select the model. Published specifications are manufacturer reference values; we confirm the exact units and operating version in the quote.

We use these manufacturer references to compare options. We confirm the model, equipment source, availability for your dates, and delivery package with you before quoting the setup. Listing a model does not mean we own it or that it is immediately available.
Not traditional CO₂
How a smoke jet works without a CO₂ cylinder.
Traditional CO₂ jets discharge gas from pressurized cylinders. SONICBOOM uses electrical heaters and compatible fog fluid to create a fast-dissipating plume without that cylinder. To prepare the effect, we review power and placement with the venue and define the operator and operating conditions.
No compressed CO₂ cylinder
The cited SONICBOOM configurations use fog fluid. Cylinder transport, manifolds and high-pressure CO₂ supply are not part of this effect.
Integrated illuminated plume
Built-in LED arrays can color or highlight the smoke column, with channel control dependent on the selected model.
Repeatable show cues
DMX control supports coordinated hits with music, lighting, LED content, countdowns and show control after programming and rehearsal.
Quick-dissipating fluid
Showven FX-S is formulated for vertical smoke-jet systems and fast dissipation. Only compatible, approved fluid is used in the actual machine.
Power must be planned
High heater loads require confirmed voltage, dedicated distribution where needed, correct connectors and an approved power plan.
Venue approval still matters
Fire alarms, HVAC, residue concerns, floor protection, clearances, ceiling height and local policies are reviewed before operation.

Specify positions, quantity and cue sequence.
Enter the event, model preference, quantity to quote, and desired sequence. If you have not chosen a model, you can request a recommendation in the selector. If you do not yet know how many machines you need, contact us first with the effect you have in mind and the available space. The setup is added to the same quote cart as the rest of your production; we review positions and quantities before confirming them.
Safety before the cue
Clear space.
Controlled effect.
Keep people out of the plume
No guest, performer, fabric, decor or equipment is placed over the output. Manufacturer clearances and the approved stage plot control every position.
Hot machine and output area
The unit uses high-power heating. Access, cool-down, handling and surface protection follow the manual and responsible operator’s plan.
Use compatible fluid only
No water, pigment, scent or unapproved fluid is added. The exact consumable is matched to the confirmed model and machine condition.
Power, DMX and stability
Voltage, load, connectors, distribution, address, safety loop, secure placement and any rigging method are confirmed before rehearsal.
Venue approval and go/no-go
Fire alarms, HVAC, weather, surface conditions and venue policies can alter or cancel the effect. The final cue is released only under approved conditions.
Frequently asked
Questions about Showven effects.
Does SONICBOOM use CO₂?
The cited SONICBOOM X, Plus and Jet are CO₂-jet simulators powered by compatible fog fluid and electrical heating. They create a similar fast plume without a compressed CO₂ cylinder.
Will it trigger the venue’s fire alarm?
Fog can affect some detection systems. Written venue approval and coordination with fire-alarm, HVAC and life-safety teams are required; disabling a system is never assumed.
Can the jets be synchronized with music?
Yes. DMX or show control can trigger single hits, chases and programmed sequences. Final timing follows the selected model’s limits and a full rehearsal.
Can the machines be installed upside down?
Only when the exact model/version, manual, mounting method, fluid-tank configuration and qualified rigging review explicitly permit it. Ground-positioned vertical operation is the default request.
Can I rent the machines without an operator?
We can assess equipment-only rental for a qualified production provider. We review with their team how they will handle power, fluid, control, safety, and venue coordination, and document those agreed tasks before confirming the rental. For other events, we quote the technical operation appropriate to the effect.
