Just over four years ago, CHAUVET Professional’s product developers set out to reimagine their moving head lineup by creating a fixture that didn’t sacrifice output for compact size. The result was the widely celebrated Maverick Force S series, a collection of profiles and spots that combine intense output along with a host of impressive performance features, in a surprisingly trim package.
Offering the best of both worlds, in terms of output and size, this series opened new creative possibilities for lighting professionals. CHAUVET Professional has taken its reimagination of moving fixtures a step further with the introduction of the Maverick Force X Profile.
Like its popular predecessors, the new 520-watt profile delivers unprecedented output (19,640 lumens) for a fixture its size (14.21 x 9.40 x 25.43 inches/361 x 239 x 646 mm). Another way to appreciate this fixture’s intensity: its illuminance ranges from 1207 lux to 102,764 lux, depending on the beam angle. The secret is in its LED source, which does not require a large optical path or an extensive cooling system.
The pioneering combination of output and size, gives designers unparalleled freedom to position the Maverick Force X Profile in tight spaces, while also making it simpler, faster and less physically demanding to set up and take down rigs.
Going beyond its impressive power-to-size ratio, the new ruggedly designed profile is loaded with performance features that will take lighting designs to the next level. The Maverick Force X Profile has a larger front lens (145 mm diameter) than its predecessors. Its beam angle is an impressive 3.3° to 52.1°, while its Field Angle goes from 3.7° to 56.3°, and its zoom range is a broad 3.3° to 58.5.
The Maverick Force X Profile is also a colour mixing marvel, with a CRI of 72.2 (87.6 with filter). Its variable CMY colour wheel includes CRI, CTO and CTB filters + white, and split colours–and it offers continuous scroll at variable speeds.
Adding to the fixture’s versatility are its zoom optics, framing shutters with rotation, and two gobo wheels (one rotating, and one static), as well as 16-bit dimming of master dimmer for smooth control of fades, and 5-facet prism and frost, plus 4-blade framing shutters with dual axis movements.
Thanks to its compact design, the Maverick Force X Profile, which has a Pan and Tilt of 540° /270° , can create dramatic rapid movements, to generate excitement on the stage, dancefloor, or throughout a venue.
This compact high-performance lighting tool is also engineered for reliability, as it features a battery backup display with auto-rotate depending on fixture orientation, and a failsafe Ethernet connectivity that allows data to pass even if fixture power is lost. It selectable PWM of 600Hz, 1500Hz, 2000Hz 65000Hz Hz also ensures flicker free operation.
Given its incredible array of performance features, the new Maverick Force X Profile continues the reimagination journey begun by its predecessor in stellar fashion, proving the time-honoured adage that “progress never stands still,” but builds on itself as one advancement leads to another.
