Chauvet unleashes a new force

Addressing the demand for compact but powerful fixtures, Chauvet has released its Maverick Force 2 Profile and Force 1 Spot. Weighing under 27.2kg, the Maverick Force 2 Profile is powered by a 580W LED engine that produces a 21,000-lumen output. Lighter than its companion, the Force 1 Spot weighs 22.7kg and features a 470W LED engine capable of producing 20,000 lumens of brightness. Both fixtures produce an array of hues from brilliant reds to soft pastels with CMY+CTO colour mixing and an added colour wheel with CTB and CRI filters for design flexibility.

Chauvet believes that lightweight fixtures make load-in times faster and more efficient. They also translate directly into faster movement and speedier effects for designers and programmers. Maverick Force 2 Profile features a quick four-blade framing shutter system with 120° rotation for precise control, a 7–55° zoom to cover a wide range of areas and 16-bit dimming for smoother fades. Added versatility is provided by its five-facet prism with frost, motorised iris, two rotating gobo wheels and animation wheel. Maverick Force 1 Spot’s effect wheelhouse has one rotating and static gobo wheel instead.

Both fixtures feature Pulse Width Modulation and several TV fan modes. A variety of advanced control options are offered with DMX, WDMX, sACN, Art-Net, preset synch and RDM capability for remote accessing.
