NEW Rasha Arete

The Rasha Arete is a professional CO2 jet machine built to deliver crisp, high-energy CO2 bursts for concerts, DJs, clubs, stage productions, and special events. Using full-flow 10 mm solenoid valves and a powerful electronic valve, it drives CO2 through a 50 mm fast-discharge nozzle for dynamic plumes up to 39 ft (12 m). The compact, full matte black, low-reflection casing and 0–90° manually adjustable spray angle make it easy to hide in a rig while aiming effects precisely where you want them.

Control and Integration

Control is straightforward with DMX512 (2 DMX channels) and manual operation, giving you smooth programming options to synchronize the CO2 jet with lighting cues and show control. Waterproof Neutrik True-One connectors help keep cabling secure and reliable in busy stage environments.

Built for Touring and Rigging

The Arete is designed for practical mounting and durability, featuring a chamfered baseplate that simplifies truss and stage installation. Its housing uses high-impact, ultra-thin textured raw material and metal construction with an IP20 protection rating, suited to typical indoor stage use.

CO2 Performance and Operating Specs

The electronic valve is rated up to 1600 psi max pressure for consistent bursts, paired with a professional CO2 hose rated to 2650 psi max. CO2 consumption is specified at 1.5–2 sec/lb CO2 or about 60 seconds from a 50 lb cylinder, with a recommended use time of 2–3 seconds per cycle. For best results, Rasha recommends a 50 lb carbon dioxide siphon cylinder.

Power and Physical Details

Power input is 110V–120V AC, 60 Hz, with a maximum total power consumption of 30 W (0.3 A @ 110V, 0.25 A @ 120V) and a recommended 20 A MCB. The unit measures 245 mm (L) x 150 mm (W base) x 410 mm (H head straight up) and weighs 5.7 kg (12.54 lbs.).
