Chauvet Professional Rogue R1E Spot Dual-Gobo Fixture

Chauvet Professional Rogue R1E Spot: Full Gobo Control in a Touring-Ready Compact Format

The Chauvet Professional Rogue R1E Spot packs high-performance features into a compact, affordable, and tour-ready LED yoke spot. Driven by a powerful 200W cool white LED engine and delivering up to 12,210 lumens of output, this fixture bridges the gap between budget-sensitive builds and feature-rich programming needs. The optical system includes a fixed 15.3° beam angle, motorized focus, frost, and iris, and a rotating 3-facet prism—all essential tools for versatile beam shaping. Designers also get access to two full gobo wheels: one rotating (interchangeable with slot-n-lock indexing) and one static. Combined with smooth dimming, variable-speed scrolling, and perfect gobo morphing, this compact unit can handle everything from aerial effects to pattern washes. For control, the R1E Spot supports 16-bit dimming, DMX (3- and 5-pin), RDM configuration, and user-selectable PWM frequencies up to 15,000 Hz. Power linking is handled via TRUE1-compatible Seetronic PowerKon connectors, and the unit ships with Omega brackets for fast rigging.

Real-World Applications and Lighting Roles:

• Mobile and DJ spot rigs requiring full gobo flexibility
• Truss-mounted beam spot in tight concert stages
• Production houses needing entry-level dual gobo design
• Rental inventory for schools, installs, or clubs
• Gobo morphing, frost beam, or prism effects in small venues

Where This System Excels

• Dual Gobo Control: Two wheels (one rotating, one static) for morphing and complex layered effects.
• Advanced Beam Shaping: Motorized iris, frost, and prism create dynamic texture and spread control.
• Compact with Power: 200W LED delivers 12,210 lumens with 15.3° beam angle and precise focus.
• Flexible Control: DMX (3- and 5-pin), RDM-ready, with 16-bit dimming and PWM frequency options.
• Tour & Install Ready: TRUE1-compatible power linking and Omega rigging for fast deployment.
• Legacy Match Mode: Output can be calibrated to match older Rogue R1X Spot inventories.

Control Modes

The Rogue R1E Spot provides professional-grade control in a lightweight chassis, supporting multiple DMX channel personalities and full-resolution movement and dimming.

• DMX Channel Modes: 16-channel and 19-channel options to accommodate both simplified and advanced programming needs.
• Pan/Tilt: 540° pan and 270° tilt with selectable range scaling (540°, 360°, 270° pan / 270°, 180°, 90° tilt).
• Focus and Zoom: Motorized focus included; beam angle fixed at 15.3° with field spread up to 18.7°.
• Dimmer & Shutter: 16-bit dimming with smooth fades and electronic shutter/strobe at 0–22 Hz.
• Gobo Wheels: One rotating indexing wheel (slot-n-lock), one static scrolling wheel with variable-speed scrolling.
• Color Wheel: 8 dichroic colors plus open, with split color effects and continuous scroll.
• Beam Shaping Tools: Motorized 3-facet prism, frost filter, and iris—all DMX controllable.
• PWM Frequency: Selectable rates from 600 Hz to 15,000 Hz for broadcast-safe operation.
• Protocols Supported: DMX (3- and 5-pin) and RDM for remote address and diagnostics.

All settings can be configured via the onboard OLED display, with USB-C port for software updates and RDM for remote configuration in complex lighting networks.

LED Light Engine & Optical System in the R1E Spot

The Rogue R1E Spot is driven by a compact yet powerful 200W cool white LED source with a native color temperature of 7423K. It outputs up to 12,210 lumens with a peak illuminance of 9,021 lux at 5 meters, delivering crisp gobos and vibrant color output even at long throws. A 15.3° fixed beam angle is supported by motorized focus and an internal optical system designed to retain sharpness and image fidelity across gobo morphs and effect layers. The front lens assembly features a 90mm diameter for strong output collimation, while the overall optical path supports advanced layering tools like iris, frost, and prism. This compact unit delivers professional optics without compromise on clarity or beam control.

Dual Gobo Wheels with Indexing & Morphing Capabilities

One of the standout features of the R1E Spot is its dual gobo wheel configuration—ideal for mid-level moving head designs where layered effects and morphing are required. The unit includes:

• Gobo Wheel 1: 7 rotating, interchangeable gobos (slot-n-lock), indexable and scrollable at variable speeds.
• Gobo Wheel 2: 8 fixed gobos, scrollable with split effects and speed control.
• Morphing Support: Perfect gobo transitions between wheels enabled by indexed tracking and motor sync.
• Gobo Size (rotating): 20mm outer, 16mm image diameter, 1.5mm thickness max.

This design enables designers to combine static texture with rotating movement or execute morphs during slow fades—perfect for clubs, concerts, or scenic moments onstage.

Advanced Beam Shaping with Prism, Frost, and Iris

The Rogue R1E Spot features a trio of internal modifiers that offer creative control over beam texture, size, and softness. These tools are fully DMX-controllable and integrate smoothly with gobo overlays and color scrolls.

• 3-Facet Prism: Motorized and rotating, ideal for spreading gobos across larger surfaces or simulating motion.
• Frost Filter: Softens beam edges for wash-style looks or gobo diffusion.
• Iris: Motorized iris for beam size control—tight beams or focused spot reduction.

When used together, these tools allow a single fixture to function as a narrow beam spot, a soft-edge texture light, or a broad environmental layer—great for maximizing fixture efficiency in tight plot designs.

DMX Structure, RDM Support & PWM Configuration

The Rogue R1E Spot includes two DMX personalities (16- and 19-channel) and supports full 16-bit resolution across key parameters like pan, tilt, dimmer, and motorized effects. Each control trait is arranged logically for fast programming, while RDM compatibility makes it easy to remotely address, monitor, or patch fixtures on supported networks.

Advanced control options include:

• Selectable PWM Frequencies: 600 Hz to 15,000 Hz for flicker-free video operation
• Move-In-Black: Ensures concealed movement between cues
• RDM Capable: Remote diagnostics, addressing, and mode configuration
• Software Updates: USB-C port for future firmware and feature deployment

The combination of DMX flexibility, broadcast readiness, and RDM integration makes this a fixture that scales with professional systems while remaining approachable for smaller rigs.

How to Deploy the Rogue R1E Spot in Touring and Install Rigs

The Chauvet Professional Rogue R1E Spot is compact enough for tight venues yet powerful enough for full-stage roles in touring and event production. Deployment is streamlined thanks to its lightweight housing, onboard power linking, and included omega bracket hardware.

• Truss Mounting: Use the included (2) 140D Omega brackets with CTC-50HC or CTC-50HCN clamps for secure overhead or vertical orientation on standard 2” truss.
• Base Mounting: Flat surface placement is possible for floor-based projection or uplighting applications using the rubberized base and safety cable loop.
• Power Linking: Link up to 4 fixtures at 120V (or 8 at 208–230V) using True1-compatible PowerKon in/out ports for rapid daisy chaining.
• Data Linking: 3- and 5-pin DMX I/O allows for integration into legacy or pro-tier signal chains. Add RDM for patch-free remote updates.
• Firmware Prep: USB-C port on the base allows fast updates and fixture prep from laptop or control cart without opening panels.

This fixture is equally at home on a club rig, regional rental grid, or educational performance grid where quick rig/strike time and compact transport footprint are critical.
