Chauvet Professional’s Strike Array Ultra takes the audience blinder concept and adds two things working LDs don’t usually get in one fixture: a motorized movement axis and a 120-LED RGB halo ring sitting independent of the main RGBA-WW pod. The result is a fixture that can punch stadium-level output straight into the audience, wash them in color from the ring alone, or do both simultaneously — and because the motorized axis flips between pan and tilt depending on how you mount it, you can build walls that move in more than one plane without mixing fixture types.

More from Chauvet Professional:

At the center of the Strike Array Ultra is a single high-output RGBA-WW LED pod surrounded by a 120-LED RGB halo ring — two distinct visual layers in one housing. The RGBA-WW engine delivers broadcast-grade whites with high-CRI calibration, red-shift dimming, and a stealth filter option for camera-friendly output. The halo ring operates independently with per-segment control, so you can run the ring as an audience-facing pixel effect while the main pod handles FOH wash, or kill the pod entirely and use the ring as a standalone effect element.

The motorized axis is the other headline feature. Mount the fixture normally and it pans; flip it 90 degrees and that same axis becomes tilt. In a blinder wall made up of multiple Strike Array Ultras, individual units can pan or tilt independently — and the fixture mounts alongside any other fixture in the Strike Array family (Array 2C, Array 4C) as well as the Strike Bolt 1C, so you can build mixed walls without separate motor control infrastructure.

Other specs: IP65 rated, 0–30Hz electronic strobe, four dimming modes, four dimming curves, standalone color mixing, built-in automated programs. Physical dimensions are 19.13 x 17.79 x 11.02 in (486 x 452 x 280 mm).
