About the CHAUVET DJ Obey 70 Universal DMX-512 Controller
The CHAUVET DJ Obey 70 is a versatile and powerful DMX controller designed to manage a comprehensive range of intelligent lighting fixtures, including moving heads, LED pars, scanners, and color changers, for professional mobile entertainers and venue operators. It builds upon the success of earlier models by offering expanded control over up to 512 DMX channels, organized across multiple fixture groups and pages, enabling complex, layered light shows from a single, compact console. The user interface centers around a backlit LCD screen that provides clear feedback on fixture selection, attribute values, and programming steps, complemented by dedicated buttons for quick access to pan, tilt, color, gobo, and effect parameters. This layout facilitates both intuitive live operation and detailed scene building.
Programming capabilities are robust, allowing users to create and store up to 70 customizable scenes and 70 chases, which can be triggered instantly via the corresponding numbered buttons during a performance. The console features a "learn" mode that dramatically simplifies programming by recording the real-time movements and settings of physically manipulated fixtures into a scene. For dynamic playback, the integrated crossfader and BPM-tap tempo control allow for smooth transitions and perfect synchronization of chases with music. These features empower operators to construct sophisticated, tempo-matched shows that respond to the energy of a live event without requiring pre-programmed timecode or a connected computer.
Housed in a durable, road-ready casing, the Obey 70 is engineered for reliability in demanding touring environments. It operates as a standalone unit, powered by a standard IEC cable, and provides both 3-pin and 5-pin DMX output connectors for maximum compatibility with various lighting rigs. By balancing extensive programming depth with a performance-oriented, hardware-based interface, the CHAUVET DJ Obey 70 serves as an capable central control solution for lighting professionals who need to execute compelling, professional light shows across a wide array of fixtures and environments.
