Eliminator Frost FX Bar W RGBW Beam & Pixel Wash Bar

Dynamic RGBW Pixel Beam Strip with Cool-White Punch

The Eliminator Frost FX Bar W is a linear RGBW effects bar designed to dominate small to midsize stages, mobile DJ booths, and uplighting installs with 14 individually controlled 3W cool-white LEDs and 84 vibrant RGB SMDs. Its tight 17° beam angle delivers crisp pixel-mapped white shafts of light, while the RGB background LEDs layer in rich color macros and zone fades. This dual-source design gives you a wash and beam effect in one fixture.

With 9 selectable DMX channel modes (ranging from 6 to 69 channels), the Frost FX Bar W supports pixel control workflows from plug-and-play all the way up to multi-universe mapping. Its onboard Auto and Sound Active modes offer instant access to strobe bursts, color rolls, and layered effects—ideal for DJs and rental houses looking for high visual return with minimal programming.

The fixture includes power linking, 3-pin DMX in/out, and a built-in LCD display for easy navigation. Designed for truss-mounting, surface placement, or vertical stand applications, it’s a flexible workhorse that delivers more punch and variety than a typical LED strip.

Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:

• Club wash bar with strobing beam punches
• Truss-mounted pixel FX for mobile DJ setups
• Sound-reactive install fixture for lounges or venues
• Pixel-chase eye candy in music video or livestream sets
• Accent beam bar for risers, back walls, or dancefloors

Where This System Excels

• Multi-Zone Beam FX: Each of the 14 cool-white LEDs can be controlled independently for tight beam chases and pixel-mapped movement.
• Layered RGB Wash: 84 RGB SMDs create a vivid color wash behind the beam array, offering rich ambient effects and color mixing.
• Full DMX Flexibility: 9 different DMX modes from 6 to 69 channels support everything from beginner boards to pro mapping systems.
• Sound and Auto Modes: Onboard presets and audio-reactive shows provide immediate, dynamic output for DJ setups and one-offs.
• Lightweight & Rig-Ready: Compact steel housing, Omega bracket slots, and locking power/linking connectors make rigging fast and reliable.

Control Modes

The Eliminator Frost FX Bar W offers an extensive range of control flexibility, making it ideal for DJs, installers, and lighting programmers alike. It supports DMX512 control with a total of nine selectable channel modes: 6, 8, 14, 14 (variant), 17, 56, 60, 66, and 69 channels. Whether you're looking to run quick fades or create complex pixel-mapped sequences, this bar adapts to your control style.

Auto Mode: Includes 15 built-in shows, each with adjustable speed settings via onboard menu or DMX.

Sound Active Mode: Two distinct sound modes (Sod1 and Sod2) respond dynamically to audio input, perfect for mobile DJs or minimal programming environments.

Primary/Secondary Mode: Allows one fixture to act as the master while others follow, enabling synchronized shows without a controller. Simply set the master to Auto or Sound, and set all linked fixtures to DMX001.

Menu Navigation: The 4-button LCD display provides direct access to DMX addressing, mode selection, strobe speed, color macro playback, dimming curves, and Pixel Flip (PSET) options.

DMX Trait Access: All functions—white beam control, RGB background color, macros, shutters, auto triggers, fades, and dimmer curves—are assignable via DMX for granular control.

Pixel Architecture & Beam Sources in the Frost FX Bar W

At the core of the Frost FX Bar W is a dual-layer LED engine: 14x 3W cool-white LEDs form the primary beam array, while 84 RGB SMDs generate layered background color and zone effects. Each white LED operates as an individual pixel with full 0–100% dimming and strobe functionality, allowing you to create chase patterns, blinders, and beam pulses.

The RGB SMDs provide wide-area color wash and macro support, making the fixture act as a pixel bar and a wash bar simultaneously. These two engines work in tandem, enabling complex overlays like white strobe pulses over a rolling RGB gradient—all assignable via DMX or internal programming.

With a tight 17° beam angle, the white pixels project defined shafts of light suitable for truss-mount aerials or mid-air FX. The RGB elements are driven by a library of color temperature presets and macro-based fades, ideal for mood shifts, uplighting, or synchronized visual rolls in stage environments.

DMX Channel Modes & Trait Mapping

The Frost FX Bar W supports 9 total DMX modes: 6, 8, 14, 14 (variant), 17, 56, 60, 66, and 69 channels. This structure lets you scale control complexity to fit your application—from sound-active DJ rigs to advanced pixel mapping environments.

Entry-level DMX modes (6ch and 8ch) provide control over global dimmer, strobe, RGB wash, beam intensity, and macro selection—ideal for basic show consoles or small universes.

Higher channel modes such as 56ch and above unlock per-pixel intensity control for all 14 white LEDs and RGB background zones. In 69ch mode, every attribute—from color temperature macros to background strobe rates—is fully exposed to DMX, enabling professional-grade pixel chases and layered effects.

Each channel mode is defined in the system menu, with clear trait mapping for white intensity, RGB macro control, fade curves, strobe FX, and pixel flip logic. This modular design makes it easy to drop the bar into any rig—from simple scenes to large-scale video-synced lighting arrays.

Internal Macros, Presets, and Sound Logic

The Frost FX Bar W comes equipped with 15 internal Auto programs, each designed to layer RGB background fades with white beam bursts, pixel fades, and strobe sync. These shows are ideal for standalone deployments or quick setup DJ rigs.

Auto modes are selectable via the onboard menu or DMX, and speed can be controlled from 1 to 16 steps—making it easy to match tempo and venue energy. Each program is designed to showcase the fixture’s dual-layer FX system, often rotating between color chases and beam pulses.

Sound Active modes include two styles—Sod1 and Sod2—that dynamically respond to audio. One focuses on strobing to beat accents, while the other emphasizes rolling color changes and dimmer sweeps. The built-in mic sensitivity can be adjusted via the control menu or DMX for optimal triggering.

For synchronized shows without a controller, Primary/Secondary mode allows multiple fixtures to follow a single master running any Auto or Sound mode—perfect for mobile rigs, pop-up events, or mood-based venue installs.

How to Deploy in the Field

The Frost FX Bar W is built for flexible deployment in touring, club, or mobile environments. Its steel housing and integrated Omega bracket slots make it ideal for truss-mounting, DJ facades, risers, or uplighting rigs. Here's how to deploy it for maximum effect:

• Truss-Mounted FX Bar: Use two Omega brackets with M12 bolts to mount the bar horizontally along front truss. Aim downward for beam sweeps and color floods over a crowd or stage riser.
• Vertical Accent Beam: Stand the unit on its base or mount vertically to uplight backdrops, pillars, or truss columns with pixel FX and white bursts.
• Stage or Dancefloor Back Wash: Mount at floor level behind performers or DJs to project RGB pixel waves and cool-white pulses toward the audience.
• DJ Booth Front FX: Set on the floor in front of a DJ table or case to create synchronized strobe and pixel eye candy for smaller clubs and lounges.
• Power Linking Chain: Use the locking power output to daisy-chain multiple units. Always check fixture silk screen for max current draw before linking.

When flown or mounted overhead, always use a secondary safety cable through the integrated anchor point. Ensure 7.9" clearance from other surfaces for airflow, and maintain a 12m clearance from flammable objects per manufacturer specs.
