Starter Kits

COBRA offers starter kits comprised of an 18R2 Controller and your choice of module, including various slat/cue combinations.

18R2 Controller

The remote control is the master brain of firing. This is what you hold in your hand to fire the show. We one controller that supports basic manual firing, sophisticated world class pyromusicals, and everything in between.

Firing Modules

The module is responsible for firing the fireworks. The fireworks are connected to a "cue" on the firing module using an e-match or igniter clip. When the "cue" fires, electricity is sent through the cue which in turn lights the fuse causing the firework to ignite. COBRA offers modules with varying cue counts and connection methods.

Quickplugs

A quickplug is a small plug that comes pre-installed on your Clip-On Igniters and MJG Initiators. This allows you to easily plug this igniter into a firing module equipped to support quickplugs. Using this method is much easier and faster than using a traditional wire igniter.

Audio Box

The audio box is designed for allowing perfect audio synchronization with automated shows. Simply plug the audio box into your sound system. When the script is started from the 18R2 handheld remote, the audio plays in perfect sync. Pause your show, the audio pauses. Resume your show, the audio resumes. It's a great tool for ensuring great audio timing and low stress if you need to pause your show.

SMPTE

SMPTE (pronounced "simpty") is a way to shoot your fireworks show synchronized to music by sending an audio feed from your sound system to the COBRA 18R2 without using a COBRA Audio Box. You can also send the same audio feed to other systems (such as DMX and lighting) to synchronize them together with your COBRA system.

DMX

DMX is used to control a variety of SPFX (special effects) hardware devices. Adding DMX support to your module(s) allows you to integrate any device that supports DMX into your COBRA shows.

Control Panel

The Control Panel is an easy to use, powerful graphical user interface into the 18R2 handheld remote. If you are firing larger shows, or just want the full features of the COBRA system, this is your product boasting a comprehensive device list, scripted show controls, Google Earth field map and advanced manual firing controls.

Slats & Cables

Slats provide varying flexibility in how you want to connect to your modules. Multiple slats can be connected together to fire multiple positions at the same time.

Cables are used to extend your cues from your module from your slat. We offer our cables in varying lengths.

Scripting Software

Options include a free Excel Template, our introductory COBRA Show Creator software, and the powerful Finale 3D for larger professional displays.

Igniters

COBRA offers two types of consumer-legal igniters. The first is the Clip-On Igniter, the most reliable and simple to use clip for connecting to consumer visco fuse. COBRA also offers a professional grade consumer-legal option for connecting into the lift charge of any consumer (1.4g) or professional (1.3g) product. While more time consuming, connecting into the lift charge allows for instant, no delay ignition of your fireworks. Both igniters are available with Quickplugs pre-installed at no additional cost.
