Full RDM support enables fixture addressing, mode changes, and reporting remotely via any compatible controller. Data I/O is handled via 5-pin XLR and EtherCON RJ45 ports, while the Powerkon IP65 in/thru connectors support loop-through linking in professional rig environments.
LED Color Engine & Spectral Accuracy
The Maverick Silens 2X Profile delivers unmatched color performance through a dual-source architecture combining a 750W cool white LED and a 13W RGB LED background source. At full output, the unit operates at a precise 6317K color temperature, with a fixed white point engineered for studio and camera alignment.
The CMY + CTO color mixing system offers seamless transitions across a full chromatic spectrum while maintaining spectral purity. Beyond its CRI rating of 94.8, the fixture also boasts TM-30 Rf 93.2 and Rg 101.5, confirming its utility in high-fidelity environments where exact skin tone and color reproduction are critical.
To complement high-CRI output, the Silens 2X integrates 16-bit electronic dimming with selectable red shift to simulate the warmth and fade of traditional tungsten sources. This combination of color rendering precision and cinematic dimming behavior makes the fixture ideal for film, broadcast, and theatrical work.
Framing System, Gobo Architecture & Effects Stack
Designed for deep scenic control, the Silens 2X Profile incorporates a high-resolution four-blade framing system with ±60° rotation. This setup supports full beam shaping, blackout-style masking, and precise edge control—critical for cue transitions in theater and studio applications.
The fixture includes two independent gobo wheels: one rotating, indexing wheel with 7 interchangeable glass gobos and one static wheel with 8 slots. Both accept 26.9 mm gobos with 22 mm image diameters, and gobos can be exchanged between wheels for layered programming workflows. A dedicated animation wheel adds dynamic scenic projection and fluid movement to textural effects.
Supporting tools include a motorized 5-facet rotating prism for multi-beam effects, a variable frost filter for wash softening, and a 15-leaf motorized iris for precise beam diameter adjustment. These elements combine to create a fixture that can shift from hard-edged gobo projection to soft ambient wash instantly—all under silent motion control.
Optical Zoom System & Output Performance
The Maverick Silens 2X Profile features a precision motorized zoom system spanning 5.5° to 57.9°, allowing the fixture to function as both a long-throw beam tool and a wide-angle wash. Beam, field, and cutoff angles are tightly engineered for accurate coverage transitions:
- Beam Angle: 5.5° to 49.9°
- Field Angle: 6° to 53.1°
- Cutoff Angle: 6.2° to 57.9°
At its narrowest zoom (5.5°), the fixture delivers a powerful 30,672 lux @ 5 meters, and still maintains a strong 697 lux @ 5 meters at full wide. This makes it ideal for long-distance aerial work, front lighting, and large-format scenic washes. The 138 mm front lens diameter supports uniform field distribution and high optical resolution throughout the zoom range.
Network Protocols, DMX Personality Mapping & RDM Integration
The Silens 2X Profile offers comprehensive multi-protocol control for modern lighting systems, supporting DMX, sACN, Art-Net, RDM, and CRMX wireless right out of the box. Its four selectable DMX personalities (32-, 33-, 41-, and 42-channel modes) provide granular access to advanced traits like framing shutter position, animation wheel speed, and dual gobo indexing.
All control protocols are fully mirrored across DMX and Art-Net for consistent channel mapping. The fixture’s RDM functionality enables remote addressing, mode selection, and operational status reporting. Users benefit from a battery-backed OLED display with automatic screen orientation based on fixture position—ideal for hanging installs or tight access points.
To ensure video-safe operation, the PWM refresh rate is user-selectable at 20,000 Hz or 40,000 Hz, eliminating flicker even with high-speed capture systems. Data ports include 5-pin XLR in/out and Amphenol EtherCON RJ45 in/out, while power is handled via locking Seetronic Powerkon IP65 input and thru, supporting clean power linking in permanent or mobile rigs.
