The Ayrton Zonda 9 FX is a high-performance moving head wash luminaire designed for a wide range of applications, particularly in stage lighting. It is the first fixture in its class to feature a 1000W RGBW LED light source, providing powerful and precise lighting effects with a focus on versatility and innovation. Ideal for large-scale events, concerts, theme parks, and professional theatre productions, the Zonda 9 FX delivers a remarkable 25,000 lumens of output and a CRI of up to 86, ensuring brilliant and accurate colour reproduction across both saturated and pastel hues. The fixture is capable of producing 4.29 billion colours, offering unparalleled flexibility for lighting designers who require a high degree of creativity in their lighting setups.
The Zonda 9 FX incorporates a sophisticated optical system that features 37 truncated 50 mm frontal lenses, combined with a 384 mm front lens cluster. This configuration, together with the use of high-power RGBW LEDs, ensures an even, homogeneous beam with no visible colour shadows, delivering consistent colour mixing across the entire beam range. The optical system is designed for high efficiency, providing a zoom range of 4° to 56° with a 14:1 zoom ratio. The fixture's motorised linear zoom enables quick and seamless adjustments, making it suitable for both tight spot effects and wide wash coverage. The 37 high-power LEDs are capable of producing a perfect colour mixture, allowing designers to create stunning light effects from soft pastels to intense saturated colours.
One of the key features of the Zonda 9 FX is its ability to generate 3D volumetric effects thanks to the individual control of each LED. This allows for a high level of creative flexibility, enabling the creation of dynamic lighting effects that can be used in combination with the fixture's beam, wash, or matrix applications. The fixture also offers a range of built-in effects such as LiquidEffect, a high-definition liquid effect that creates complex, fluid-like visuals between its lenses. This effect can be used in isolation or in combination with the main LED matrix, adding another layer of creative possibilities. Additionally, the Zonda 9 FX is equipped with two rotating prisms (one 5-facet circular and one 4-facet linear) for even more complex graphic effects.
The Zonda 9 FX's advanced cooling system ensures that the fixture operates efficiently and quietly, even in demanding environments. The system includes self-adjusting, variable-speed fans that keep the fixture cool while reducing noise levels, making it suitable for use in stage and studio settings where noise sensitivity is a concern. The fixture offers selectable ventilation modes, including Auto, Stage, and Studio modes, which provide additional flexibility in different environments. With a rated life of up to 40,000 hours, the Zonda 9 FX is built for long-lasting performance, making it a reliable choice for professionals in the entertainment industry.
The Zonda 9 FX offers complete control and connectivity options, supporting DMX512, RDM, ArtNet, and sACN protocols through standard DMX cables or Ethernet. The fixture features a graphic LCD display with a flip function for easy setup and monitoring, as well as a clicking jog wheel for convenient function settings. It supports multiple DMX modes, with up to 199 DMX channels, and offers the flexibility to operate in stand-alone, master/slave, or remote control modes. Additionally, the Zonda 9 FX includes wireless CRMX TiMo RDM integration from LumenRadio for seamless wireless control, making it an ideal solution for modern lighting setups.
With its compact design, advanced features, and exceptional performance, the Ayrton Zonda 9 FX is a versatile and reliable luminaire that excels in a variety of professional lighting applications. Whether used for dynamic stage effects, film productions, or large-scale concerts, the Zonda 9 FX provides exceptional light quality and creative flexibility for lighting designers.
