Chauvet Professional Adds Rogue R1X and R2X Spot Fixtures
Chauvet Professional has introduced two bright and bold moving spots: the 300W LED
Rogue R2X Spot and 170W LED Rogue R1X Spot to its popular Rogue series of moving
fixtures. Reportedly their intense output and rich collection of features
notwithstanding, the two newcomers are surprisingly compact and affordable.
“The R2X and R1X both are true to the Rogue spirit of putting rugged, roadworthy
fixtures within reach of the average budget,” said Albert Chauvet, CEO of Chauvet.
“However, we stepped things up with the Rogue R2X and Rogue R1X, so our customers
can add extra punch to their shows even at larger venues.”
In addition to their impressive output (11,000 lumens for the R2X Spot and 6700 lumens
for the R1X Spot), both fixtures offer a range of performance features designed to
spice up any show. The R2X Spot, for example, features a 16.5° beam angle, two
variable scrolling color wheels with seven colors and split color capability, as
well as a 3-facet prism and smooth gobo morphing between its dual gobo wheels.
“Designers will be able to create an unlimited number of shape-changing and split
color effects with the R2X Spot,” said Chauvet. “These capabilities, along with the
fixture’s incredibly bright output, rich colors and 16-bit dimming make it a
versatile design tool.”
The Rogue R1X Spot is also a creative powerhouse, with its motorized iris and focus
for beam shaping, 16° beam angle for crisp gobo projections and a color wheel that
features eight colors, split color ability, and continuous variable-speed scrolling.
Adding to its versatility are its dual gobo wheels with seven interchangeable gobos,
as well as its 3-facet prism for stunning aerial effects and 16-bit dimming for
smooth fades.
Both fixtures are RDM enabled for remote addressing and trouble-shooting, and both
feature: Neutrik powerCON power input/output connections for power linking; simple
and complex DMXchannel profiles for programming versatility; 3- and 5-pin DMX
input/output connections; and selectable PWM settings for flicker-free operation
on camera.
The R2X offers a selectable LED maximum output, allowing it to match Rogue R2 Spot
fixtures that are already in a rig, while the R1X can be matched to existing Rogue
R1 Spot units. These features should come in handy, since the two powerful new
fixtures should be occupying prominent positions in more than a few Rogue rigs in
the months ahead.
