Chauvet DJ COLORband Q4 IP – Quad-Color Outdoor LED Bar

Outdoor-Rated Power Meets ILS Control: The COLORband Q4 IP

For outdoor shows, mobile DJ events, or permanent installs where weatherproofing matters, the COLORband Q4 IP delivers unmatched flexibility and performance. This full-sized RGBA LED wash strip is fully enclosed in an IP65-rated housing, offering the same punchy, vibrant output and zoned pixel control as the indoor ILS models—without compromising in harsh conditions. Whether you're lining a truss outdoors or lighting a wall in the rain, COLORband Q4 IP brings pro-grade lighting in a sealed, rugged format.

The quad-color (RGBA) LED engine gives you a broader color palette than RGB fixtures, with the added benefit of amber for rich, warm tones and nuanced color mixing. With 3 zones of control, you can create chase effects, ambient washes, or use it as a dynamic blinder. As part of the ILS (Integrated Lighting System) ecosystem, the COLORband Q4 IP can run seamlessly alongside other ILS-compatible fixtures, enabling time-coded light shows with zero DMX addressing or mapping required.

Wireless-ready via D-Fi USB, it also supports Master/Slave linking, DMX, and ILS control—all without cables. This unit is built to take abuse, designed for mobile professionals who demand the same lighting control sophistication both indoors and out.

Real-World Applications and Sound Roles

• Mobile DJ uplighting for tent weddings, pool decks, or open-air patios
• Permanent outdoor installs on stages, amphitheaters, or facades
• Touring and rental use where weather resistance is essential
• Live stream and studio sets requiring flicker-free output with warm tone options
• Hybrid indoor/outdoor rigs with a unified ILS-compatible workflow

Where This System Excels

• Outdoor-Ready Design: Fully IP65-rated for weatherproof performance at festivals, patios, or permanent exterior installs.
• ILS Integration: Seamlessly syncs with other ILS fixtures for immersive, cable-free master/slave lighting control.
• Amber-Enhanced Color: Quad-color RGBA LEDs offer richer tones and smoother fades than standard RGB strips.
• Multi-Zone Effects: 3 independently controllable zones enable pixel-chasing, chases, and reactive audio visuals.
• Wireless Control Options: Accepts D-Fi USB for cordless DMX, plus compatible with IRC-6 remote for instant color/program access.
• Tour-Tested Housing: Built to handle rain, dust, and long-term deployment in high-demand outdoor environments.

Control Modes

COLORband Q4 IP offers exceptional control versatility through both wired and wireless methods:

• DMX Modes: Choose from 3, 5, or 15-channel configurations to match your programming needs—from simple fades to multi-zone animations.
• ILS Mode: Integrated Lighting System (ILS) compatibility allows for automatic syncing with other ILS-enabled fixtures for immersive show design without programming complexity.
• D-Fi USB: Wireless DMX/Master-Slave operation via the optional D-Fi USB dongle eliminates the need for signal cabling during deployment.
• IRC-6 Support: Basic scene and color selection is accessible from the compact Chauvet DJ IRC-6 handheld remote (sold separately).
• Manual/Standalone: Built-in programs, strobe effects, and static colors are available without any external controller, ideal for quick installs or mobile gigs.

How to Deploy in the Field

Designed for all-weather versatility, the COLORband Q4 IP thrives in demanding event and install environments:

• Horizontal Wash: Ideal for lighting backdrops, architectural features, or DJ booth façades with a wide 50° beam and 80° field angle.
• Wall Mountable: Bracket-ready for truss clamps, pipe, or fixed outdoor install points—perfect for patios, tented venues, and entry façades.
• Zone Splits: Assign chase patterns or static color segments using the 3-zone control capability for visual layering effects.
• Power Linking: Daisy-chain up to 12 fixtures at 120V or 20 at 230V to streamline multi-unit installs and reduce cabling overhead.
• Rain or Shine: IP65-rated connections and sealed chassis allow year-round deployment—even during wet or dusty outdoor shows.

Expanded Technology: All-Weather RGBW Performance in the COLORband Q4 IP

Built for unpredictable environments, the COLORband Q4 IP is engineered with an IP65-rated enclosure and fully weatherized connectors, making it a reliable choice for permanent installations or mobile setups exposed to rain, dust, or fog. Whether it's uplighting architectural elements at outdoor festivals or running synchronized visuals along truss lines, this unit delivers consistent output in harsh conditions.

Each of the 12 quad-color LEDs (RGBA) is housed behind a weather-sealed lens, providing smooth color blending and intense saturation even in bright ambient light. The inclusion of amber (A) in the color mix gives designers a broader palette, enabling warmer tones and nuanced pastels that typical RGB fixtures can’t achieve.

Three distinct zones of control allow for animated effects across the bar, from sequential color sweeps to segment-based strobing. This layered pixel behavior is fully addressable via 15-channel DMX mode or can be automated using onboard effects and ILS coordination.

Wireless capability is built-in via the optional D-Fi USB system, enabling fully cable-free Master/Slave linking or DMX signal transmission across large event footprints. When combined with ILS functionality, the COLORband Q4 IP can effortlessly synchronize with multiple fixture types—spots, movers, pars, and beyond—without complex programming or software.
