After the ingenious Color Strobe Strike Bolt 1C unveiled in preview at ISE, Chauvet Professional also upgrades the Strike Array blinders to color and IP65 and adds to the Maverick range a very powerful Storm 4 SoloWash presented at Prolight+Sound by David Launay, Chauvet Professional France product manager.
Strike Array 2C and 4C, rated IP65
Color versions of their elders Strike Array 2 and 4 are offered in warm white, the Strike Array 4C and 2C use respectively 2 and 4 independently controllable RGBA WW LED engines.
With 28 RGBA LEDs and 39 WW (Warm White) LEDs per source, these powerful blinders offer an infinite number of colors and a wide range of quality whites (from 2800 K to 6500 K; CRI of 94.6 @ 3200 K) allowing unify, during a recording, the color temperature applied to the set and the audience.
These two blinders benefit from a selection of 6 PWM power frequencies to avoid flickering in filming and 4 dimmer curves including tungsten emulation.
They are equipped with the new coupling system which does not require tools and ¼ turn locks for omega hooks both on the yoke and at the rear of the Case for easy attachment. They can be controlled using Art-Net, sACN and, DMX-RDM.
The flux of the 4C reaches 53,000 lm and that of the 2C 26,000 lm
Maverick Storm 4 SoloWash, rated IP65
At the top of the Maverick range, the Storm 4 SoloWash comes alongside the Storm 4 Profile (see SLU ‘s bench test here) equipped with the same 1250 W, 7465 K white LED engine with an output flux of 78,300 lm.
Chauvet did not choose to equip it with a Fresnel lens at the output in favor of a hammered lens which allows it to integrate a framing blade module, an animation wheel, and a wheel of 6 interchangeable rotating gobos to create volumetric effects.
With a very wide amplitude zoom which takes the beam from 7° to 74°, a frost, and an iris, there are numerous options for shaping the beam, colored by CMY + CTO flags and a 5-color wheel including a filter for raising the CRI, and a CTB.
This Wash receives Art-Net, DMX-RDM, W-DMX, and sACN protocols, measures 469 x 306 x 817 mm, and keeps a reasonable weight, taking into account its power and its IP65 classification, of 45.5 kg.
