*DISCO CLUB & LEISURE INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE, Carl Dodds "Merlin is unbelievably easy to program and use, all-in-all it is a very impressive product - especially at the price" *NIGHT MAGAZINE, Matt Turner "The story behind its development shows NJD's devotion to creating innovative high quality products, and the value they place on customer input. The final proof of the Merlin came when Kevin taught me, a lighting novice, how to create a simple program in 5 minutes flat." *NIGHTLIFE JOURNAL, Mike Locke "NJD's new Merlin is pure magic. After two and a half years of further development Merlin is now up for grabs and more than lives up to NJD's claim that their 'baby' is the "MASTER OF IMAGINATION"
