Full details

Ideal for DJs, small venues, and event spaces, it offers a powerful output from 6 multi-colour COB LEDs. While it provides excellent flexibility with multiple control options including DMX and an IR remote, users should be aware of its 60° beam angle, which is best suited for washes rather than focused spotlights.

Troubleshooting
Unit does not power on
Check that the IEC power cable is securely connected to both the unit and a working power outlet. Verify the power outlet is receiving power. Check the 3A fuse and replace if necessary.
No light output
Ensure the unit is powered on and the master dimmer is not set to minimum. If using DMX, check DMX connections and ensure the fixture is addressed correctly. If using the remote, ensure it's within range and pointing at the IR sensor.
Sound-activated mode not working
Ensure the microphone is not obstructed and that the sound sensitivity is adjusted appropriately via the menu or remote. The unit needs to detect ambient sound to trigger.
DMX control is erratic or not responding
Verify that the DMX cable is properly connected and that the unit's DMX address is set correctly. Ensure there are no damaged DMX cables in the chain and that the DMX signal is terminated correctly at the last fixture if necessary.
Colours appear washed out or incorrect
Check the colour mixing settings via DMX or the remote. Ensure the master dimmer is not limiting the output. Clean the LEDs if they appear dusty.
