Chauvet Maverick Force S Profile | Compact 350W CMY Framing Spot with Dual Gobos
The Chauvet Professional Maverick Force S Profile delivers advanced framing, full CMY color mixing, and pro-level network control in a compact, lightweight 350W LED yoke. Ideal for venues where weight and space matter—like theaters, broadcast studios, and corporate installs—it still packs enough punch for small- to mid-sized tours, with an output of 14,669 lumens and a tight 4.5° to 41.6° zoom range.
This precision profile fixture includes a 4-blade framing shutter system with full wipe and 120° module rotation, plus motorized iris, rotating prism, and dual gobo wheels—one static and one rotating with slot-n-lock indexing. Built-in CRI filtering raises rendering to 89.6 CRI, making it ideal for camera-based environments or IMAG support.
It supports full network integration with DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and W-DMX, all controlled via a battery-backed display with preset cross-loading, auto-orientation, and USB software updates. Whether you’re running an install grid, rigging an LED wall perimeter, or designing keylight for a touring stage, the Force S Profile delivers top-tier functionality without the bulk.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:
- Precise gobo layering and framing for theater or broadcast sets
- Compact profile rigging for small-format tours or rep houses

Optical System & Output Characteristics of the Force S Profile
The Maverick Force S Profile features a compact but potent 350W cool white LED engine producing up to 14,669 lumens of field output through a 119mm front lens. With selectable CRI boost (up to 89.6) and a high native color temperature of 6937K, this fixture is tailored for theatrical, house-of-worship, and camera-ready applications.
Its motorized zoom spans from 4.5° to 41.6°, giving LDs the ability to create both punchy beam looks and wide scenic washes without swapping fixtures.

Whether rigged on FOH trusses or backlighting scenic elements, the Force S delivers a sharp, consistent projection with optical versatility well beyond its size class.
Framing, Gobos & Layered Beam Effects in the Maverick Force S
This compact framing spot is anything but limited when it comes to beam shaping and texture delivery. The integrated framing shutter system includes four dual-axis blades with full wipe capability and a 120° rotating module, allowing for clean beam cuts, asymmetrical framing, and custom aperture shaping.
The Force S includes:
- Rotating Gobo Wheel: 7 interchangeable glass gobos with full indexing and slot-n-lock support
- Static Gobo Wheel: 9 metal gobos, scrollable for texture layering
- 5-Facet Prism: Motorized and rotatable, ideal for beam splitting or scenic FX
- Frost Filter: Motorized softening for eye candy or wash looks
- Iris: Motorized aperture control for beam narrowing or gobo isolation
These features can be layered seamlessly using 47-channel mode, giving designers creative freedom with minimal fixture count.
Protocols, Personalities & Data Handling in the Force S Profile
Whether you’re specifying for a networked venue, broadcast stage, or mobile tour, the Maverick Force S Profile delivers full control compatibility and intelligent data design. It supports both 31-channel and 47-channel personalities to accommodate basic and full-feature showfiles.

Data signal routing is consistent across all input types, and the fixture’s Ethernet passthrough enables clean daisy-chaining on console networks. This makes the Force S Profile ready for spec in hybrid rigs or houses that support multiple control layers.
Display Logic, Presets & Setup Tools for Touring Efficiency
The Maverick Force S Profile includes a technician-friendly setup platform designed to accelerate bench prep, clone matching, and load-in time. Its onboard UI features a battery-backed color display that stays active even when the fixture is not powered—perfect for addressing or mode-checking before truss hang.
Menu Efficiency Features:
- Auto-rotating display: Adjusts orientation based on fixture position
- 3 Internal Presets: Quickly apply common configuration templates
- Preset Sync: Cross-load configuration data between fixtures on the same network
