It’s a busy week in our industry this week, and like all of our other busy weeks, you must take a few minutes for your own personal peace and sanity. This morning we submit something perfect for that application — a very rare live cut of the funk band Jamiroquai playing an amazing late night rip of Stillness in Time. We hope it brings you peace on this awesome Wednesday morning!
It doesn’t matter how high or low it is, when truss falls, it can hurt, destroy, and kill.
Here’s a quick video of a band playing live in Poland when their low-hanging upstage truss tipped right over onto the drum kit. Be careful out there, everyone. Make sure you’re not overloading your gear, and make sure you’ve got it rigged properly. Accidents in our business are no laughing matter.

Another week has come and gone here on the Chauvet Professional Blog… we sincerely hope that it has been an amazing week for you and yours, and that you got through every load-in, every performance,, and every load-out like it was your first and last! For those of us in this industry, it’s amazing to do the work we do – arriving at an empty venue and leaving it as you found it, yet hours and pounds of sweat later.
We really do work in the best industry!
Let’s recap what went on this week on the Chauvet professional Blog — it was an awesome week, and you all seemed to love what we had to say! Check out a recap of this week’s post goodness!
Have you seen theCOLORado 4 IPvideo from Chauvet Professional?
We ran the COLORado 4 IP through its paces for your approval — we made it act like a multi-pixel mapping audience blinder, let it play the role of an architectural wall washer (with IP 66 status!) and had it do its thing as a linear wash. Never once did the COLORado 4 IP disappoint!
The 4 IP is another awesome addition from the COLORado line! It’s dependable, intensely bright, and built like a tank – it’s what you expect from Chauvet Professional! The COLORado 4 IP features an IP66 rating along with an incredibly bright series of four 40-watt RGBW LEDs — incorporating white into the palette gave us the ability to provide you a broad choice of color mixing and creative expression. COLORado 4 IP also has 15-degree lenses that give an amazing punch to the output of the fixture, making it excellent for any wash application!
COLORado 4 IP also features individual pixel programming, enhancing the visual impact of this very versatile and resilient fixture. A removable yoke doubles as a mounting bracket for stacking an array of up to four units that maintain a perfect pixel pitch. it’s road worthy AND versatile!
Check out the COLORado 4 IP product feature video:
Kaskade is on tour with his new upcoming album Atmosphere — and the tour is amazing. He’s calling it the Big Rooms, Small Tour tour. He’s also using some amazing gear on that show: Chauvet Professional’s Nexus 4X4 and Geyser RGB foggers!

This is some awesome stuff — if you’ve not had your ears on Kaskade, you need to give yourself the pleasure of that kind of enjoyment!
Every time we look over at Mike Graham, one of our resident human walking awesomesauce packets, we can’t help but wonder how he fits all of that knowledge into one polo shirt wearing container. Mike provides great articles for Tech Talk here on the Chauvet Professional Blog, full of insight and hard work from his years in the business.
We decided to look through the last few years of Tech Talk articles and pick our five favorites. Check them out!
GOOD MORNING, lighting industry! It’s that special day again, the day where you’ve got half the week done and the other half creeping quickly towards the weekend’s events, activities, or sleeping in time. You know what we’re talking about. If you’re out in the bus, we hope your Craft Service is hot, your bus food is fresh, and your back lounge is clean!
Today we have a special Hump Day post for you — an appearance from the KLF!
