Chauvet issues Storm watch for LDI
- Details
Making their world debut at LDI this year, the Maverick Storm 4 Profile and Storm 2 Profile feature a lumen output of 62,255 and 28,000 respectively. Like their stable mate, the previously introduced Maverick Storm 2 BeamWash, which will also be shown at LDI, the new hard-edged profiles were designed to provide a quieter, more reliable performance in a lighter weight package.
“We have been in the forefront of developing IP65 rated fixtures in response to the demand from our customers who want more versatile products that can be used indoors or out,” said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet. “However, we’ve always recognised that an IP65 rating alone isn’t enough, which is why we’ve worked to design the best possible performance features into the Maverick Storm series.”
Reflecting this philosophy, the Maverick Storm 4 Profile and Strom 2 Profile are loaded with features like variable CMY and CTP colour mixing, a 4-blade framing shutter system with rotation (as well as full black out), a colour wheel, 10:1 zoom and dual prisms -- two rotating for the Storm 4, one rotating and one static for the Storm 2.
Powered by a 1,250-watt LED, the Maverick Storm 4 Profile has CRI and CTB filters on its colour wheel for greater flexibility. Also adding to the fixture’s versatility is its animation wheel, which excels at creating kinetic textured effects. Other distinctive features are its iris with five prisms (one full round, the other linear), 16-bit dimming, and its 6.4ﹾ to 55.4ﹾ zoom range.
The 580-watt Maverick Strom 2 Profile has a 5.5ﹾ to 56.5ﹾ zoom range to create a variety of beam sizes and a 5-fact prism with frost for precise beam control. Like its larger cousin, it also has a sunshield to protect the optical path from sunlight when the fixture isn’t on. As user-friendly as they are rugged and powerful, both fixtures also have RDM control over DMX, RDM, sACN, and WDMX, in addition to three setup menu presets as well as preset sync.
Also featured at LDI will be the Rogue Outcast 2X Wash, which offers IP-65 protection for superior indoor and outdoor performance, while adding only 23.4 lbs to the overall weight. Another highlight will be the Ovation Rêve E-3 IP.
