CHAUVET DJ Intimidator Spot 360X Intelligent Fixture

Pro-Level Zoom and Movement for Stage, Venue, and Touring DJs

The CHAUVET DJ Intimidator Spot 360X is a next-gen 100-watt moving head packed with elite programming tools, performance upgrades, and a design overhaul that prioritizes speed, clarity, and control. From high-impact beam throws to elegant gobo projection, this fixture delivers pro-tier versatility for DJs, production teams, and club installs that demand more than just motion.

What sets the 360X apart is its updated dual-wheel gobo/colour system paired with a motorized zoom, allowing crisp pattern morphing and focus shifts on the fly — even during complex cue stacks. Add to that an advanced TOTEM mode for fixed-axis targeting, and this fixture becomes ideal for dancefloor FX, entrance spots, or synchronized aerials without drift.

Control is streamlined through built-in wireless D-Fi USB compatibility, giving you freedom to connect to Master/Slave rigs, DMX software, or CHAUVET’s RFC/IRC-6 remotes with minimal cabling. The onboard OLED display includes password protection and custom menu locking, making it tour-friendly and tech-secure across multi-fixture deployments.

The Intimidator Spot 360X is built to move with precision, featuring 540° pan and 270° tilt, selectable pan/tilt ranges, and ultra-smooth 16-bit dimming curves. Whether you’re pixel mapping shows in SoundSwitch or running DMX scenes in a club rack, this fixture is engineered to respond cleanly under pressure.

Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:

• Club and stage installs needing high-lumen, rotating aerial FX
• Mobile DJs looking for pro movement and zoom without going hybrid
• Corporate and house-of-worship use where locked pan/tilt zones are required
• Event producers syncing multiple moving heads in auto or wireless DMX chains

Where This System Excels

• Pro-Grade Zoom Control: Motorized zoom allows beam width adjustments in real time for stage-to-dancefloor throw transitions.
• Precision Gobo Morphing: Dual gobo wheels with rotation and indexing deliver seamless effect layering and animation.
• Secure Touring Use: Password-protected OLED display and menu lockout make it ideal for shared rigs or rental fleets.
• Wireless Flexibility: D-Fi USB compatibility enables cable-free DMX, Master/Slave, or remote control via IRC-6.
• Totem Mode Stability: Keeps beam locked on a vertical axis, perfect for focused FX zones in mobile DJ setups.
• Integrated Auto Shows: Prebuilt programs let you link up to 4 fixtures in Sound or Auto modes for fast deployment.

Control Modes

The Intimidator Spot 360X offers a full suite of DMX and standalone control options, making it equally flexible for programmed shows, auto-sync events, or wireless DMX applications:

• DMX Control: Operates in 8- or 14-channel modes with access to zoom, pan/tilt, gobo indexing, dimming curves, and macro FX.
• Wireless D-Fi USB: Accepts CHAUVET’s D-Fi USB dongle for wireless DMX, Master/Slave, or triggering via RFC/IRC-6 remotes.
• Master/Slave Linking: Chain multiple units with mirrored or alternating patterns using built-in shows and no external controller.
• Auto & Sound Modes: Run internal programs based on music or tempo; up to 4 fixtures can be linked for synchronized movement.
• OLED Display: Intuitive menu system with PIN protection, custom address settings, pan/tilt inversion, and reset functions.

How to Deploy in the Field

The Spot 360X is optimized for fast, reliable mounting across mobile and installed environments:

• Truss Hanging: Use the included ¼-turn Omega bracket to rig from standard clamps on trussing or goalposts.
• Ground Positioning: Flat-bottom base allows for stable placement on stages, risers, or uplight zones with locking pan/tilt.
• Power Linking: Connect up to 7 units at 120V via IEC pass-through for clean cable runs in overhead installs.
• Transport Protection: Fits most dual-mover cases; display lockout prevents unauthorized programming while in transit.
• Quick Focus: Motorized zoom and focus allow fast tuning of beam size and clarity in low-light show prep conditions.

Advanced Movement and Optics in the Intimidator Spot 360X

At the heart of the 360X is a refined motor and optics engine that prioritizes precision across every movement and focus cue. With 540° pan and 270° tilt, the unit delivers high-speed positioning and repeatable indexing across gobo macros and position scenes. Smooth 16-bit dimming curves ensure fade transitions feel organic even during rapid scene changes.

The motorized zoom and focus system is a standout feature for this tier, offering beam size manipulation without changing rig height or spacing. Whether you’re projecting gobos across a ballroom or targeting a dancefloor from a T-bar truss, the fixture adapts instantly to varying throw distances and ceiling heights. Manual zoom limitations found in the 160 ILS are eliminated here, making the 360X a better fit for variable-depth installs or tours.

Color and gobo programming also benefit from the dual-wheel design. You get rotating and static gobos, both of which can be morphed, indexed, or layered through DMX. The rotating wheel supports full indexing and shake effects, ideal for texture-rich looks on walls, ceilings, or atmospheric haze.

From a connectivity perspective, the fixture includes native support for D-Fi USB wireless DMX, enabling cable-free operation in both standalone and master/slave modes. Paired with the optional IRC-6 or RFC remotes, it’s easy to dial in basic looks without a controller. And with password-lockable menus, the 360X becomes a safe pick for venues and installs where programming access needs to be restricted.
