Launch Every Direction. Own Every Moment.
The Air Blaster Maxx is a professional multi-launcher air cannon blaster engineered to blanket an entire venue in confetti, streamers, or powder in a single coordinated burst. With multiple simultaneous launch tubes, the Air Blaster Maxx delivers wide-coverage aerial fills that a single-barrel cannon simply cannot match — hitting every corner of the room, stage, or field at once for a high-impact crowd moment that lands hard every time.
Built for touring acts, festival stages, sporting events, and large-format DJ productions, this high pressure air cannon blaster operates on standard CO₂ or compressed air supply and fires on-demand via wired trigger or DMX control. Whether you're popping confetti over a packed dance floor at the first drop or launching streamers across a stadium end zone, the Air Blaster Maxx is the multi-launcher solution professionals deploy when one shot has to count.
⚠️ Safety Notice: Always point launch tubes away from audience faces. Maintain a minimum 10 ft clearance between nozzle tips and the nearest audience member. Use only manufacturer-approved CO₂ tanks and fittings. Never exceed the rated operating pressure. Operator must be present and attentive during all firing sequences.

What You'll Need
- CO₂ tank (5 lb or 10 lb recommended) — sourced locally or from your gas supplier
- Confetti or streamers — see compatible confetti fills
- DMX controller or lighting console (if using DMX mode)
- Truss clamp or floor stand for elevated positioning (optional)
Pro Setup Note: A 10 lb CO₂ tank is recommended for multi-show runs — it provides significantly more bursts per fill and reduces downtime between events.
Consumables — Load It Right
- Tissue & Metallic Confetti Fills — Standard-cut and flutter-cut options for varied aerial hang time
- Paper & Metallic Streamers — Pre-rolled streamer cartridges sized for the Air Blaster Maxx tube diameter
Multi-Unit Deployments
- Additional Air Cannon Blasters — Stage-left and stage-right positioning for full-width simultaneous coverage on large stages
- Mirror Pair the Air Blaster Maxx — Two units DMX-linked for symmetrical left/right blasts on a single trigger cue
Stack With
- Cold Spark Machines — Combine the air cannon blaster with cold spark fountains for a layered visual impact — sparks low, confetti high
- CO₂ Jet Cannons — Add cryo jets downstage of the Air Blaster Maxx for a multi-effect burst moment on the same cue
- Confetti Blowers & Cannons — Sustained confetti fill between Air Blaster Maxx burst moments to keep the floor covered throughout the event
Pairing Tip: Running the Air Blaster Maxx alongside CO₂ jets from a shared tank manifold lets you manage one gas supply for two effect types — reducing setup complexity on large event rigs.
How many shots do I get from a single CO₂ tank?
Using a standard 5 lb CO₂ tank, expect approximately 20–30 full multi-tube bursts depending on fill volume per tube and ambient temperature. A 10 lb tank effectively doubles that output — recommended for multi-set events or touring use.
Can I use compressed air instead of CO₂?
Yes. The Air Blaster Maxx is compatible with both CO₂ and standard compressed air supplies up to 150 PSI. Compressed air is a cost-effective option for fixed venue installations where a compressor is already on site.
What fill types work in the Air Blaster Maxx?
The Air Blaster Maxx is compatible with tissue confetti, metallic confetti, pre-rolled paper streamers, and metallic streamers. Use fills sized to fit the tube diameter — oversized fills will restrict airflow and reduce throw distance. See our confetti collection for compatible options.
Does the Air Blaster Maxx work with DMX lighting consoles?
Yes. The unit supports DMX-512 control over a single trigger channel, integrating directly into most professional lighting and show control consoles. It also includes a wired manual trigger for non-DMX setups.
Can the launch tube angles be adjusted?
Yes — each barrel can be angled independently to customize the spread pattern. Aim all tubes forward for maximum throw distance, or fan them outward for panoramic coverage across a wide venue floor.
Is the Air Blaster Maxx suitable for outdoor use?
The unit is rated for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Wind conditions significantly affect confetti and streamer trajectory outdoors — factor wind direction into your positioning. Avoid use in rain or high-humidity conditions without additional weatherproofing precautions.
How quickly can I reload between shots?
Each barrel loads independently — a fully trained operator can reload all tubes in under 2 minutes between bursts. Pre-loading spare tube cartridges before the event reduces reload time further on back-to-back shots.
Does this unit require any special permits or licensing?
Requirements vary by venue and jurisdiction. Always confirm with the venue manager and local fire marshal before use. The Air Blaster Maxx uses no pyrotechnics or open flame — compressed gas operation is generally lower-barrier than powder-charge cannons, but operator training and venue sign-off are always recommended.
Position for Maximum Aerial Coverage
Mount the Air Blaster Maxx at head height or above — angled slightly upward at 15–30° — for maximum aerial hang time. Ground-level firing pushes material into the audience horizontally rather than overhead, which reduces the visual impact of the burst significantly.
Time the Trigger to the Drop, Not After It
Fire on the downbeat — not after the crowd reacts. The air cannon blaster has near-instant response, but confetti and
How the Air Blaster Maxx Works
The Air Blaster Maxx is a professional-grade air cannon blaster built for live events, concerts, and stadium productions. Instead of CO2, it runs entirely on compressed air, giving your crew clean, consistent launches with no gas canisters to swap mid-show.
At its core, the unit operates as a high pressure air cannon that stores a precise charge of compressed air and releases it in a single powerful burst. Load your chosen barrel — one for confetti, one for streamers, or one for t-shirts — connect to your compressor, and fire on cue. Because the three barrels are swappable rather than fired simultaneously, your team can switch effect types between shots to match each moment of the show.
As an air blaster cannon designed exclusively for professional event use, the Air Blaster Maxx delivers repeatable results across every performance. There are no CO2 costs, no frostbite risk from gas discharge, and no foam payloads — just reliable compressed-air launches of confetti, streamers, and t-shirts exactly when you need them.
| Feature | Air Blaster Maxx | CO2 Cannon |
|---|---|---|
| Propellant | Compressed air | CO2 gas |
| Effects | Confetti, streamers, t-shirts | CO2 burst only |
| Refill Needed | No — connects to compressor | Yes — CO2 canisters required |
| Best For | Professional event productions | Atmospheric fog effects |
