Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 1 Beam: IP65 Beam Power for Outdoor Tours and Precision FX

The Maverick Storm 1 Beam by Chauvet Professional is a rugged IP65-rated beam fixture built around a powerful 310W Osram Sirius HRI lamp and engineered for touring and outdoor performance environments. With a razor-sharp 1.3° beam angle and 190,000+ lux at 15 meters, it delivers ultra-focused aerial effects with long-throw impact, making it ideal for concerts, festivals, and fixed installations demanding reliability and punch.

This fixture features CMY color mixing, a 14-color wheel, and a frost filter for creating soft diffusion when needed. The static gobo wheel houses 17 metal gobos with smooth scrolling, allowing for dramatic mid-air animations and beam morphs. For layered visual interest, the Storm 1 Beam includes dual rotating prisms — an 8-facet circular and a 5-facet linear — both of which are individually selectable and can be stacked for maximum FX versatility.

Its professional-grade control protocol suite includes DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and W-DMX, with personality modes supporting 19- or 21-channel operation. The sealed OLED UI offers intuitive configuration, while the Seetronic IP65 connectors and internal pressure valve ensure full weatherproof reliability. Ethernet failsafe ensures signal continuity even in the event of power loss. Designed with a diecast aluminum chassis and weighing 51.2 lb, the Storm 1 Beam is built for touring-grade durability and deployment ease.

Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:

• Outdoor beam FX for large-format concert stages and stadium tours
• IP65 architectural installs requiring punch and reliability
• Layered gobo/prism effects for high-energy EDM or festival rigs
• Beam-based pixel mapping and tight aerial chases for arenas
• Long-throw FX in weather-prone environments like amphitheaters

WHERE THIS SYSTEM EXCELS IP65 Protection: Designed for outdoor stages, festivals, and installs where weather resistance is non-negotiable. Narrow Beam Punch: Ultra-tight 1.3° beam with high lux output cuts through haze and long distances. Dual Prism Effects: Independent 5-facet linear and 8-facet round prisms unlock complex beam layering. Layered Color & Gobos: CMY + color wheel + 17 static gobos give designers broad textural control. Touring-Ready Housing: Magnesium alloy frame keeps weight low without sacrificing durability. Failsafe Connectivity: Lumen Radio WDMX + Art-Net + sACN with backup Ethernet pass-through. CONTROL MODES The Maverick Storm 1 Beam supports both wired and wireless control with full protocol flexibility for modern production environments. Choose between 2 DMX personalities (19 or 21 channels) depending on your programming needs. The unit is equipped with onboard support for **DMX512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN**, and **Lumen Radio W-DMX**, allowing seamless integration into networked or standalone show control systems. A high-visibility OLED display provides fast access to address settings, channel modes, test functions, and fixture status. Users can also define pan/tilt ranges, dimmer curves, and fan speed modes (if applicable). The IP-rated Seetronic connectors and bypass-capable Ethernet ensure robust data routing—even if power is interrupted on a fixture mid-stream. Key fixture control features include:

• DMX Channel Modes: 19 or 21
• Protocols Supported: DMX, RDM, sACN, Art-Net, Lumen Radio WDMX
• OLED Menu Access: Navigation for addressing, testing, and mode selection
• Failsafe Data Path: Maintains Art-Net or sACN data continuity if fixture loses power

Optical System & Beam Focus Engine

The Maverick Storm 1 Beam is built around an OSRAM SIRIUS HRI 310W discharge lamp with a tight native beam angle of just 1.3°, pushing a remarkable 30,639 lumens with ultra-focused intensity. Output tests confirm peak illuminance of 190,709 lux at 15 meters, making this fixture a top-tier tool for long-throw aerial FX and piercing mid-air punches in large-scale venues.

The motorized optical train includes fast-action focus, frost, and dual rotating prisms (5-facet linear and 8-facet round), all layerable for textured, animated beam effects. A static gobo wheel delivers 17 precision metal gobos designed for crisp projection even in haze-dense environments.

CMY color mixing is supplemented by a 13-position color wheel plus open, allowing for split-color morphs and speed-controlled rainbow scrolls. An internal frost lens softens field edges when needed, converting this tight beam engine into a more diffused wash element.

Optical calibration prioritizes consistency across beam field and edge taper, with no visible hotspots even at aggressive angles.

Protocols, Modes & Network Control

Designed for advanced systems integration, the Maverick Storm 1 Beam supports full multi-protocol control, including:

• DMX512 (5-pin XLR IP-rated)
• Art-Net and sACN over Ethernet
• RDM for remote fixture configuration
• LumenRadio WDMX wireless protocol built-in

Failsafe network architecture includes an auto-bypass Ethernet link that continues data pass-through even if the fixture loses power — a crucial feature for mission-critical rigging.

Control channel sets include 19- and 21-channel DMX modes with granular mapping of beam control parameters, effect motors, and CMY macros. All personalities feature fully indexed prism layers and gobo effects, enabling precision cueing and transition timing within console workflows.

This fixture’s native control logic is optimized for timecode, busking, and network-mapped environments — ideal for festival rigs and permanent installs alike.

Internal Programming & Gobo Engine

While designed primarily for console operation, the Storm 1 Beam also includes onboard programs for basic beam chases and demo sequences. These are accessible via the OLED display menu and are intended for testing or emergency playback scenarios.

The static gobo wheel features 17 metal gobos + open, all designed for high-contrast aerial projection. Fast, motorized gobo indexing supports continuous rotation and speed-variable scrolls for dynamic sweeps and waveform FX. Although gobos are not user-replaceable, their design reflects touring-standard beam pattern aesthetics.

CMY and CTO flag macros, layered with the frost and prism combinations, allow for color-driven beam FX without requiring full console programming in lower control modes. Move-in-black is supported on all gobo and prism motors for seamless blackout transitions.

This engine is tailored for beam-focused cue design with simple but powerful FX layering options out-of-the-box.

UI, Fixture Logic & Field Handling

The rear-panel OLED display with 4-button navigation gives techs access to all major fixture settings, including address, mode, fan speed presets, and test patterns. Menu auto-rotation adjusts for mounting orientation — simplifying rig-side configuration when hung inverted or at odd angles.

All menu structures are grouped by function and mimic console terminology, reducing setup time for experienced programmers. A lockout option is available to prevent accidental changes during transport or show operation.

Power is delivered via Seetronic Powerkon IP65 in/out, with true1-compatible throughput for daisy-chaining. Dual Omega brackets come pre-installed for truss rigging, and the fixture includes a pressure-balanced GORE valve to maintain IP integrity in varying environments.

Everything about the Storm 1 Beam’s logic and interface is built for fast deployment, even in weather-challenged or high-pressure load-ins.
