Chauvet DJ SlimPAR Pro Q IP: Compact RGBA Wash with DMX Precision
Slim, bright, and precise. The SlimPAR Pro Q IP uses 12 × 6 W quad-color RGBA LEDs to deliver clean, even washes with a 19-degree beam angle (33° field) and a 0–20 Hz variable strobe. Its convection-cooled design keeps noise off the stage, while the compact form factor (approx. 10.4 × 4.6 × 11.2 in, 7.8 lb) makes it easy to place on truss, deck, or tight installs.
Control your way. Choose DMX control in 4/5/10-channel personalities via 3-pin XLR, or run standalone with four auto programs, 19 preset color macros, and custom RGBA color mixing. Dial in response using selectable dimmer curves (diM1–diM3), lock the display with a passcode, and deploy Master/Slave for synchronized rigs—then restore defaults with a factory reset when needed.
Power that scales. A universal 100–240 VAC auto-ranging supply feeds Seetronic Powerkon IP65 in/out connectors for rugged power linking—up to 10 fixtures at 120 V or 18 at 230 V—with a typical draw around 76 W @ 120 V. Built-in protections include a 3.15 A / 250 V breaker, and safe-use practices are supported by clear on-screen menus and labeling.

- Indoor stage and club color wash where silent operation matters.
- Mobile DJ rigs needing compact RGBA mixing and quick standalone looks.
- Corporate/events for consistent uplight, truss warming, and scenic accents.
