Product Overview
The ADJ Vintage X is a dual-purpose scenic lighting fixture combining four 60W amber blinder LEDs (2000K) with 64 individually controllable 3W RGB background LEDs. Its octagonal housing offers a wide 150° field angle, delivering rich retro amber pulses and vibrant multi-color backdrops. With smooth 16-bit dimming, selectable LED refresh rates (900 Hz–25 kHz), and flicker-free operation, it excels in broadcast, theatrical, and live-event environments. Control is effortless via DMX512, RDM, Bluetooth, or Aria X2 wireless, and fixtures can interlock up to eight units with the coffin locking system for immersive video-wall and scenic designs.

Flexible Protocols: Supports DMX512 (9 channel modes), RDM, Bluetooth, and Aria X2 wireless management for over-the-air firmware updates and remote setup.
Master/Slave & Interlock: Primary/Secondary mode for standalone chaining plus coffin-lock system to interlock up to eight units in linear or grid arrays.
Onboard Interface: OLED display with six-button navigation and key-lock prevents accidental changes, while USB port enables quick firmware upgrades.
Secure Connections: Locking IP65 power in/thru and 5-pin XLR DMX in/out ensure reliable signal and power in rental and install environments.
All control and connectivity features adhere strictly to ADJ’s published specifications for rock-solid reliability.
How to Deploy the ADJ Vintage X in the Field
- Octagon Array Mounting: Use the coffin-lock system to interlock up to eight Vintage X units side-by-side for seamless video-wall or backdrop washes.
- Truss or Grid Installation: Attach omega clamps (sold separately) to the integrated bracket receivers and secure to truss or grid using safety cables through the built-in eyelet.
- Floor Placement: Position the fixture on its back flange for low-level blinder effects, aiming the 150° field for broad coverage on walls or stage floors.
- Broadcast Studio Setup: Mount above or beside camera positions; select a high PWM rate (10 kHz+) for flicker-free operation under studio lighting.
- Wireless Management: Configure DMX via Aria X2 or Bluetooth to reduce cable runs; use RDM to set addresses remotely from your console.
The coffin-lock interlock and wireless control options make Vintage X ideal for fast-paced installs and creative scenic arrays.
Whether grid-mounted, floor-stacked, or networked via Aria X2, Vintage X adapts to any production design with ease.
