CHAUVET Professional Launches Maverick Force X Profile

	Features include a larger front lens (145mm diameter) than its predecessors, the company says.

Just over four years ago, CHAUVET Professional's product developers set out to reimagine its moving head lineup by creating a fixture that didn't sacrifice output for compact size. The result was the Maverick Force S Series. Now comes the Maverick Force X Profile. Like popular predecessors, the new 520W profile delivers high output (19,640 lumens) for a fixture of its size (14.21" by 9.40" by 25.43". The fixture's illuminance ranges from 1207 lux to 102,764 lux, depending on the beam angle. The secret is in its LED source, the company says, which does not require a large optical path or an extensive cooling system. The company says, "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."

Features include a larger front lens (145mm diameter) than its predecessors. Its beam angle is 3.3 degrees to 52.1 degrees, while its field angle goes from 3.7 degrees to 56.3 degrees, and its zoom range is a broad 3.3 degrees to 58.5 degrees.

The color-mixing unit offers a CRI of 72.2 (87.6 with filter). Its variable CMY color wheel includes CRI, CTO, and CTB filters plus white, and split colors. 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 the master dimmer for smooth control of fades, and five-facet prism and frost, plus four-blade framing shutters with dual-axis movements. Thanks to its compact design, the unit, which has a Pan and Tilt of 540 degrees/270 degrees, can create dramatic, rapid movements.

It also features a battery backup display with auto-rotate depending on fixture orientation, and an Ethernet connectivity that allows data to pass even if fixture power is lost. It selectable PWM also ensures flicker-free operation, the company says.
