Dual Voltage and Power Configuration
Engineered for global compatibility, the Pro-D6 operates on multiple input voltages (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) without manual switching. Each of the six channels features a dedicated 20 A connector—split into two independent 20 A circuits that must share the same phase for proper operation. This design allows you to feed Line A and Line B with different voltages (e.g., 120 VAC on Line A and 230 VAC on Line B) when they are on a common phase, simplifying international tours and installations. Built-in circuit breakers and individual switches per channel offer added protection and control for each output. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
DMX Control and Dimming Options
The Pro-D6 seamlessly integrates into any DMX-512 lighting rig using a standard 3-pin XLR DMX input/output. Each channel can be independently assigned to any DMX address, giving you total control over which fixtures receive dimming or relay commands. When set to dimmer mode, channels offer variable electronic dimming from 0 % to 100 %, with selectable dimming curves—square, linear, or switch—tailored to your application. In relay mode, channels act as simple on/off switches for non-dimmable loads. This flexibility lets you mix dimmable and switched fixtures on a single unit, optimizing rack space and streamlining patching. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Rack-Mount Ready and Safety Features
Designed for easy installation, the Pro-D6 fits into a standard 19 in rack with built-in mounting ears and a compact, road-ready enclosure. Individual channel controls include manual on/off switches and resettable circuit breakers to quickly isolate and protect faulty loads. The robust metal housing and professional-grade connectors ensure reliable performance in touring, rental, and fixed-install environments. With clear DMX indicators and durable construction, this unit stands up to the demands of any production. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Useful Links for the Chauvet DJ Pro-D6
How do I assign DMX channels on the Pro-D6?
Use the onboard dip switches to set each of the six channels to a unique DMX address. Ensure each channel’s dipswitch corresponds to the desired DMX start address on your lighting console.
Can I mix dimmable and non-dimmable fixtures on the Pro-D6?
Yes. Each channel has a mode switch: set to “Dimmer” for smooth fades (0–100%) or “Relay” for simple on/off control, allowing a mix of fixture types on the same unit.
What voltage ranges does the Pro-D6 support?
The Pro-D6 auto-ranges from 100 VAC to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz), so it operates globally without manual voltage switching.
How do I protect my fixtures from overload?
Each channel has a built-in, resettable circuit breaker. If a channel’s load exceeds 20 A or a short occurs, the breaker trips and you can reset it manually to restore power.
Does the Pro-D6 require a DMX terminator?
Yes. When your Pro-D6 is the last (or only) DMX device in the chain, install a DMX terminator in the output XLR to prevent signal reflections and ensure stable operation.
