Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 4 Profile: 1250W IP65 Yoke Spot with Full Framing, Dual Prisms, and 6.4°–58.3° Zoom
The Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 4 Profile is a flagship-grade, IP65-rated yoke spot fixture engineered for concert stages, broadcast studios, and stadium-scale installs. It harnesses a powerful 1,250W cool white LED engine that produces a staggering 94,000 lumens at source and over 60,000 lumens of output with smooth 16-bit dimming and variable PWM rates up to 15kHz—ready for camera-critical environments.
Its advanced feature set includes a full CMY+CTO color system, dual rotating gobo wheels, a motorized animation wheel, dual rotating prisms (linear and circular), and a four-blade full-framing system with ±60° rotation. Beam control is surgical, with motorized iris, focus, zoom, and two levels of frost spanning a versatile 6.4° to 58.3° field angle. An integrated sun shield protects the optics from solar damage during outdoor use, while onboard presets and preset sync drastically reduce prep time across large rig counts.
On the control side, the Maverick Storm 4 Profile supports DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and W-DMX, with dual IP-rated XLR and RJ45 connectors. It’s built for the rigors of high-pressure environments, offering advanced connectivity, power metering, USB-based firmware updates, and an intuitive full-color touchscreen with battery backup and auto-orient display.

LED Engine & Optical System of the Maverick Storm 4 Profile
The Maverick Storm 4 Profile is built around a massive 1,250W cool white LED engine, outputting an extraordinary 60,756 lumens with peak illuminance of 127,159 lux at 5 meters (6.2° beam). Designed for long life and maximum stability, its LED source is rated at 50,000 hours, delivering a consistent 7,500K native CCT. When driven at full, the color temperature reads 6,895K, but the color system includes CMY + CTO mixing and dedicated CRI/CTB filters to tailor output for high-fidelity environments like broadcast, theatrical installs, or corporate AV.
- Zoom Range: 6.4° to 58.3° with precise field, cutoff, and beam angles.
- Lens Diameter: 188 mm front aperture enables tight beam control.
- Selectable PWM: 600Hz to 15kHz for flicker-free on-camera use.
Its IP65-rated lens path is protected by an integrated sunshield, which blocks sunlight from entering and damaging optics during outdoor use — ideal for festivals and open-air installs.
Color Mixing, Gobo Wheels & Animation Tools
The Storm 4 Profile's effects engine features the full range of beam-sculpting tools expected in a premium hybrid profile. The dual-indexing gobo wheels use slot-and-lock rotating glass gobos with continuous scroll, while the framing system allows precise beam shaping via four dual-axis blades and full blackout capability. For kinetic looks, an animation wheel brings dynamic textures into play, working in tandem with the gobos and prisms.
- Color Wheel: 6 colors + white, including high CRI and CTB filters.
- Gobo Wheels: Two wheels, 6 gobos each (rotating, indexing, glass).
- Animation Wheel: Motorized, kinetic textures with gobo sync capability.
- Prisms: 5-facet circular and 5-facet linear, both motorized and rotating.
- Framing Shutters: 4 blades, full blackout, ±60° rotation frame plane.
Focus, zoom, iris, and frost are all motorized and finely tuned. Two frost types — light and medium — are included, adding depth and smooth wash potential when needed.
Data Protocols, Channel Modes & Network Control
The Maverick Storm 4 Profile delivers full data versatility with Art-Net, sACN, DMX, RDM, and W-DMX protocols. Dual IP-rated RJ45 ports and 5-pin XLR in/out ensure robust data transmission even in outdoor environments. Whether you're pixel-mapping in sACN or handling remote device management, this fixture adapts cleanly to modern show networks.
- DMX Modes: 2 personalities (38ch and 55ch) with precise trait structuring.
- Art-Net + sACN: Supports full 38/55ch maps for streaming protocols.
- W-DMX: Wireless protocol with internal receiver (requires transmitter).
- RDM: Allows remote address patching, fixture monitoring, and trait sync.
A USB firmware port and 3 fixture menu presets (with cross-load capability) streamline setup for rental houses and touring rigs. Presets can be duplicated across multiple units for speed and consistency.
Thermal Management, Noise Profile & IP65 Engineering
With a housing built from diecast aluminum, impact-resistant polymer, and sealed steel components, the Storm 4 Profile is engineered for both permanent installs and heavy-duty touring. An IP65 rating ensures complete protection against dust and water jets, including pressure-equalizing M12 Gore valves for humidity and barometric control.
- Noise (Idle): 38.5 dB(A) @ 1m — extremely low for a fixture of this class.
- Noise (Full): 50.5 dB(A) @ 1m — optimized for concert and theatrical use.
- Operating Temp: -20°C to 45°C (4°F to 113°F).
- Auto-Fan Modes: Adjusted based on load and ambient conditions.
Whether rigged above a stage in freezing temperatures or operated at full intensity during an outdoor festival, this fixture remains stable, safe, and performance-ready.
How to Deploy the Maverick Storm 4 Profile in the Field
At over 100 lbs and built for weatherproof durability, the Maverick Storm 4 Profile demands proper rigging practices and structural planning. The fixture ships with dual 140-D Omega brackets and hardware for fast truss integration, and its compact base ensures compatibility with both vertical and horizontal mounting configurations.
- Truss Rigging: Use CTC-50HC or CTC-50HCN clamps on 2" pipes; ensure minimum 25A circuit capacity per unit.
- Orientation: Display auto-rotates based on hang position; framing system remains fully functional regardless of tilt angle.
- Weather Deployment: IP65-rated construction supports outdoor use without additional dome housing — ideal for stadiums, amphitheaters, and rooftop venues.
- Power Wiring: Use Seetronic Powerkon IP65 extension cables to maintain watertight seals; pass-through capability enables loop-through with proper breaker sizing.
- Ground Support: Optional flight case and dolly solutions (TBA) are recommended for multi-fixture deployments during touring or festival circuits.
For safe overhead operation, always verify bracket integrity, safety cable routing (SC-07 or equivalent), and load distribution before energizing. The sun shield protects internal optics when off, but fixtures should be covered during transport to avoid lens damage.
