Clay Paky Volero Wave - 8 x 40W RGBW LED Bar with 2.9-Degree Beam and Motorized Tilt in Black Finish

The Clay Paky Volero Wave is a groundbreaking LED bar designed to deliver powerful visual effects, combining innovative technology with high-performance capabilities. This cutting-edge fixture is equipped with 8 independent moving heads, each featuring a 40W RGBW LED engine. The Volero Wave allows for dynamic, three-dimensional projections with precise control, making it an ideal solution for lighting designers seeking to add depth and excitement to their productions. Whether used in television and film, musicals, live events, or touring shows, the Volero Wave offers a versatile, high-impact lighting effect that will stand out in any setting.

The heart of the Volero Wave lies in its unique optical system, which combines a mirror-based design with the powerful 40W RGBW LEDs. This system ensures higher light intensity and sharpness compared to other LED bars on the market. The fixture's 2.9° fixed aperture provides a narrow, parallel beam, which remains crisp and collimated across the full 220° tilt range, preserving the light flux intensity no matter the angle. This ensures that each beam always appears extremely sharp, even as the fixture tilts. When synchronized, multiple Volero Wave units create a stunning wave of light that is particularly impressive when fixtures are connected seamlessly.

Volero Wave's eight independently controlled heads allow for truly creative lighting effects, enabling the creation of intricate patterns and dynamic movements. These moving heads have a 220° tilt range with exceptional accuracy (+0.08°), allowing for smooth, fast movements that enhance the overall effect. The motorized tilt system and fine control enable fast, precise adjustments, making the Volero Wave perfect for creating mesmerizing aerial effects and vibrant visual displays. This unique flexibility is further enhanced by the system's ability to align Volero Waves with extreme precision, allowing them to work together seamlessly to create a synchronized "wave effect." For even more dynamic movement, the Volero Wave can be mounted on the Claypaky Panify, adding continuous pan rotation at variable speeds.

In terms of color mixing, the Volero Wave offers 16-bit RGBW control, allowing for smooth transitions and precise color adjustments. The linear CTO (color temperature control) feature, adjustable from 2500K to 8000K, gives designers full control over the color temperature, ensuring both warm and cool tones can be achieved effortlessly. This, combined with 50 pre-installed color macros, gives users the ability to quickly create vibrant, colorful effects while maintaining a high level of flexibility and control.

The fixture also supports advanced features such as pixel mapping and the innovative Advanced Layers Management system, which enables the use of three levels of effects simultaneously. This feature enhances the Volero Wave's capability for complex, multi-layered lighting displays, perfect for environments that demand intricate, detailed lighting effects. Whether you need a simple wash, precise beam control, or a complex effect, the Volero Wave can handle it all with ease and efficiency.

With a sleek aluminum and steel housing, the Volero Wave is built for durability and performance. Its IP20 protection rating ensures reliability in various environments, while its compact design and integrated web server make setup and control simple. The built-in CloudIO compatibility allows for remote access and monitoring, ensuring that the fixture operates at peak performance during shows. Additionally, its robust thermal management system ensures stable performance, even under demanding conditions.

The Clay Paky Volero Wave is more than just a lighting fixture - it's a creative tool that opens up new possibilities for lighting designers. Its combination of powerful lighting, dynamic movement, and innovative effects makes it a standout addition to any lighting setup, whether it's for TV studios, corporate events, or live performances.
