Chauvet DJ Mini Kinta ILS: Compact RGBW Derby with 48-Lens Coverage
The Chauvet DJ Mini Kinta ILS is a small-footprint, high-impact derby effect that fires vibrant RGBW beams through 48 lenses to energize dance floors and party spaces. Its wide 135° coverage floods the room with motion while the lightweight 3.6 lb chassis and compact frame make it an easy add to any mobile DJ rig or club install.
Integration is effortless: ILS compatibility unlocks synchronized shows across supported Chauvet DJ fixtures, while DMX (4/8 ch), Master/Slave, automated, and sound-activated modes cover everything from plug-and-play to programmed precision. Add a D-Fi™ USB (sold separately) for wireless DMX/Master-Slave, or use the optional IRC6 for quick, non-DMX control. In DMX mode you can adjust motor speed to craft the right vibe for any set.

Optics, Color Engine & Coverage Geometry
Mini Kinta ILS projects bright RGBW beams through 48 lenses to create eye-catching aerials and room sweeps. A generous 135° coverage angle blankets small and mid-sized spaces, while the long-life LED source (4 × 3 W, 50,000 hr) delivers reliable output night after night.
- Light Source: 4 LEDs (1 red, 1 green, 1 blue, 1 white), 3 W each
- Lenses: 48-point output for dense, multicolor beam fields
- Coverage: 135° wide spread for room-filling effects
Power Linking & Deployment Efficiency
Build larger looks fast with power linking—up to 33 units @ 120 V (or 54 @ 230 V)—and keep cabling tidy across truss lines or stands. The fixture’s compact form factor (7.5 × 10.1 × 7.2 in, 3.6 lb) and auto-ranging 100–240 VAC input simplify transport and international deployments, while low draw (19 W @ 120 V / 18 W @ 230 V) keeps power planning painless.
- Input: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (auto-ranging)
- Consumption: 19 W, 0.3 A @ 120 V; 18 W, 0.2 A @ 230 V
- Approvals: CE, RoHS, UKCA
How to Deploy the Mini Kinta ILS
Mini Kinta ILS is designed for fast, flexible setups—from single-stand mobile rigs to multi-fixture club installs. Use the guidance below to get clean coverage, reliable control, and tidy cabling.
Mounting & Positioning
- Rigging Points: Mount to truss, T-bars, or totems with a proper clamp and always add a safety cable.
- Aim for Coverage: Place overhead and angle slightly toward the dance floor to exploit the wide 135° spread and the 48-lens output.
- Mirror for Symmetry: Use two fixtures left/right of the dance floor, or four in room corners for even beam distribution.
- Deck Placement: For uplook effects, set on stable platforms away from foot traffic; avoid direct audience eye-line when possible.
Power & Cabling
- Auto-Ranging Input: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
- Low Draw: ~19 W @ 120 V (18 W @ 230 V) simplifies circuit planning.
- Power Linking: Daisy-chain up to 33 units @ 120 V or 54 units @ 230 V to minimize extension cords.
- Cable Management: Route power and data along truss lines; strain-relief at the yoke to prevent connector stress.
Control Workflows
- Standalone Fast Start: Select Auto for instant looks or Sound-Active to let music drive movement (ideal when you’re not running DMX).
- Master/Slave: Set one fixture as Master, others as Slave to mirror patterns across the rig for cohesive coverage.
- ILS Show Sync: Integrate with the Chauvet DJ ILS ecosystem to coordinate multi-fixture shows without deep programming.
- DMX Control: Choose 4-ch or 8-ch profiles via the menu, assign a start address, and daisy-chain 3-pin XLR; terminate at the last fixture. In DMX, adjust motor speed to match the event’s energy.
- Wireless Options: Insert a D-Fi™ USB (sold separately) for wireless DMX/Master-Slave; use the optional IRC6 for simple, handheld control without a console.
Quick Deployment Recipes
- Single-Fixture Mobile DJ: Center T-bar above the dance floor, slight downward tilt; run Auto or Sound-Active for plug-and-play impact.
- Two-Fixture Symmetry: Left/right on a front or rear truss; Master/Slave for matched sweeps across the room.
- Four-Corner Wrap: Corners of the room or stage for immersive 360° coverage; consider DMX (8-ch) for pacing and color control.
- ILS Mixed Rig: Pair with other ILS fixtures; designate your ILS controller/primary and link additional heads for coordinated shows.
