Now CHAUVET DJ will unveil a host of new USB compatible lighting products and several other exciting new fixtures at the 2016 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California January 21st-24th. Among the new offerings are eight new USB fixtures, the new completely wireless Freedom Stick Pack, two new Intimidator moving head lights and a powerful new Ellipsoidal fixture.

When plugged into the USB port on a compatible USB Series lighting fixture, the tiny D-Fi USB gives users total wireless DMX control of the unit from a CHAUVET DJ FlareCON Air or any other D-Fi compatible transmitter. In addition to transferring DMX signals, the D-Fi USB can be used to provide completely wireless Master-Slave operation. Users simply set the finger-sized device into Transmitter Mode on the lead fixture, and the unit will act as the “Master,” controlling like models equipped with a D-Fi USB. Since the D-Fi USB draws its power from the fixtures themselves, no external power supply is required.

“We’re excited to continue advancing our wireless technology with the introduction of these new products at NAMM” said CHAUVET DJ Senior Product Manager Allan Reiss. “The new USB compatible fixtures we’re launching at NAMM along with all our other new products we’ll be launching there are designed to make the jobs of lighting users of all kinds easier, more powerful and more profitable and we look forward to getting these tools in their hands at NAMM”.
