Obey 70 is a DMX lighting controller handling twelve fixtures of up to sixteen channels each, with scene and chase programming. It is the step up from automated modes into calling specific looks on cue.
Where a rig stops running itself and starts following you.
Bigger shows call for more accessibility and ease of programming. The Obey 70 bridges the gap between smaller rack mount controllers and massive control desks. 14 faders and an assignable joystick allow for easy programming of up to twelve 32-channel fixtures. The Obey 70 can store up to 6 sets of chases containing 240 scenes on 384 total channels of control. Also at your fingertips are fog and strobe control as well as MIDI compatibility.

Do I Need a Lighting Controller?
Not to get started. Chauvet fixtures run automated and sound-active modes on their own, and ILS coordinates a rig without one. A controller matters when you want to call specific looks at specific moments rather than letting the rig run itself.
What Is DMX?
The standard control protocol for stage lighting. Fixtures are daisy-chained on a DMX cable and each is assigned an address, so a controller can address each one individually. It has been the industry standard for decades and it is what makes fixtures from different brands work together.
Wired or Wireless?
Wired DMX is reliable and cheap but means running cable across a venue. Wireless DMX removes the cable, which matters for uplighting placed around a room, at the cost of a transmitter and receiver at each end.
Why Chauvet DJ
Chauvet DJ has been the default answer in mobile DJ and small venue lighting for two decades, built on a simple premise: a lighting rig should set up fast, run without an operator and survive being loaded in and out several nights a week. The ILS system ties fixtures together so a whole rig responds as one without a DMX desk or a programmer, which is the reason a single DJ can run a room's worth of lighting alone. The company is based in Sunrise, Florida.
