The Q-series by CHAUVET is the latest, boldest move by the Florida manufacturer to corner every angle of the professional lighting entertainment market. Regardless of your budget and whatever the size of your gig, club or function, there is quite possibly a Q-series light in your future. The initial launch includes scanners, yokes and a gobo flower with lamp wattages from 150 watts to 575 watts. They boast the latest in advanced features, exclusive casings, long life lamps, superb optics and have virtually no competition within their price range. For starters, Q-series scanners and yokes all include interchangeable rotating glass gobos, down to the 150-watt Q- Spot 150 and Q-Scan 150. They al feature vector movement, dimmer/shutter/strobe channels, speed control of pan and tilt, bi-directional color scroll, reset via DMX, quality built in programs and high performance fan cooling systems for continuous operation. A consistent library of gobos and colors allows users to mix and match units across the line to bring variety yet still maintain a consistent look. The series' crowning jewel is the 16-channel Q-Spot 575, combining the brilliance of an HMI 575-watt lamp and the latest in cutting-edge technology. Next in line is the Q-Spot 250 with a 3,000-hour HSD 250-watt discharge lamp and 13 channels of DMX control. Its relatively compact size makes it the fixture of choice where sharp, even rojections are a priority but a venue's size and ceiling heights are limiting factors. Both yokes feature indexed gobos, motorized focus, a 3-facet high speed rotating prism, a wide 210 beam angle and lamp on/off capability via DMX. Here's an even bigger turn on: The more modest Q-Spot and Q-Spot 150 are also loaded with advanced features, the kind that you rarely, if ever see in EHJ or HTI yokes: we're talking 9 channels of DMX control, pan/tilt correction, 5400 of pan by 2700 of tilt, 16-bit movement resolution, state-of-the art control channels, and again the highly desirable interchangeable and rotating glass gobos that you just don't see in this category. These yokes level the playing field for lighting pros, once and for all. If you value the flexibility of having both DMX control and high quality stand alone programs and work on a shoestring budget, you have found your match. Q-scanners, Q-Scan 250 and Q-Scan 150 and their barrel versions, Q-roll 150 and Q-Roll 250, are equally impressive, with exclusive silver or black casings, vector movement with speed control, fast pan/tilt, 12 crisp colors, 9 rotating gobos, and removable stands among other alluring specifications. The series also includes a mid-range color washing yoke, the Q-Wash 250. Fitted with the same brilliant 250W discharge source as the Q-Spot 250, Q-Wash 250 projects a flat and even field of color through the use of dichroic filters. The beam angle adjusts from 8 to 22 degrees. And, for the final touch, is the Q-Mix gobo flower with a 12-slot bi-directional rotating gobo/color wheel, 2 channels of DMX control and standard Q series perks such 2-year warranty, Gobo Bounce™, built in programs, LED display and a wide (27°) beam angle. No question, this series has the power to surprise and awe.
