CHAUVET Professional Unveils Wealth of New Innovations at Prolight + Sound
Posted on March 25, 2025
FRANKFURT – Recently, CHAUVET Professional has been marketing its celebrated line of fixtures under the banner “Finally True Colours ReveaLED.” And while it’s true that the brilliant, realistic colours created by the company’s latest fixture are nothing short of jaw dropping, it’s also true that the company will be impressing with another kind of “reveal” at Prolight + Sound, as it introduces a stunning array of new products at Stand E21.
This year’s Prolight + Sound will mark the first major showing of three CHAUVET Professional products that are certain to change the equation in entertainment lighting in 2025 and beyond. Calling these new fixtures “innovative,” doesn’t nearly do them justice — they are truly game changing.
Heading the list is the very new Maverick Storm 1 Flex. Unveiled just weeks ago in late March, this fully featured spot/beam/wash powerhouse distinguishes itself (and opens new creative vistas for designers) by projecting flat even fields of white and colored light from its LED source, including true reds, with absolutely no hot spots.
The Maverick Storm 1 Flex has a massive zoom range of 2.6° to over 50°, but even when it’s down to its tightest zoom, the light is still spot free. It’s easy to see how any skilled designer can use this feature to create remarkably unique tightly-focused aerial effects.
Joining this versatile fixture at the booth will be the STRIKE V, the newest addition to the wildly popular STRIKE family of lights that have been shaking up the touring world. The new fixture delivers the same famously intense brightness as its stablemates, but it also takes things further by offering an unprecedented level of creative options thanks to its two layers of individually controllable RGBW LEDs.
A “smart” variable electronic frost plate that covers the fixture’s two layers (each with 24 LEDs), makes it possible to create zoomed out flares, and change beam angles at the push of a button. A 180-degree titling fixture, the STRIKE V has remarkably powerful strobing capabilities to go along with its outstanding performance as a color wash.
Anyone wishing to rev up the intensity level at live music venues and festivals will want to check out another newcomer at the show: The Rogue Outcast 3X Wash, which allows a fast zoom from beam to wash. Powered by 37 bright 25W RGBW LEDs, this alloy armored IP65 rated fixture can punch through fog or haze. Power stands shoulder to shoulder with flexibility in this versatile wash, which features nine pixel-mappable zones and produces excellent color blending and fades with 16-bit master and individual dimming.
The exciting WELL family of battery-powered fixtures will also be featured at the CHAUVET Professional stand, including the WELL Panel X4, the WELL Fit X, and the WELL Batten 14 X, which features 14 zones of individually controllable pixels.
ChamSys will also be offering showgoers a new offering — the MagicQ Compact Wing, which features 20 playbacks (10 Fader and 10 Executor buttons), and pairs seamlessly with MagicQ consoles and wings, making it easy to expand the number of physical playbacks at any site.
This newcomer joins ChamSys’ other stellar product offerings, including the MagicQ MQ500+ Stadium console and GeNetix family of solutions at the Prolight + Sound booth E21, where new worlds of possibilities await.
