CHAUVET DJDerby X RGB LED Derby w/Static, Blackout, Strobe Effect Light & Automated/Sound Active Programs

I'm not a DJ or anything like that. Actually, I primarily enjoy classic/arena rock and wanted a light that would look just as good for rock music at a party as it would for club/dance music. While great without fog, fog is a must for this light to really shine.The sound sensitivity on this unit is superior to the others I have used (Vue 4.1 and LX5). The LX5 seems to want to respond to nearly every frequency, while the Vue 4.1 only responds to bass frequencies. The unique part about the Derby X is that when sensitivity is lower, it seems to only respond to bass frequencies....while when you increase sensitivity, it will respond to more midbass and midrange frequencies. Whether this is a design flaw or not, it works perfectly when you want the light to move to quicker music that doesn't necessarily have a quick bass rhythm.While the pattern/program does repeat every 30 seconds - it moves fast/seemingly random at times that you won't easily remember what it did 30 seconds ago.. and because it responds so well to music, depending on where you're at in the song - the series of patterns may look completely different each time through any given song. Also, no matter where you start the song in the pattern - this unit seems to have a mind of it's own and will create an effect that looks like was carefully planned when in fact all you did was plug the thing in and adjust the sensitivity so it responds the way you want it to.This is just one of several videos I made of this light in action:[...]The video speaks for itself and summarizes why all the reviews here on this light are so positive.

First one the auto mode with all the switches in the correct spot didn’t do anything but stay on the red dot light. A unit that works, you plug it in and auto mode by default and if you tap slightly on it, the lights will jump. Returning for another one, will respond with, hopefully a better review of what I think should be a fantastic light unit.*update*. New one actually works! Great light!!

I bought this thing with no intention of connecting it up to any sort of controller. I just wanted to bring it to parties and dance events that I frequent. I put it on the most sensitive setting and leave it alone.I go to dance parties a lot, sometimes DJing them. My friends will request that I bring them, and even comment on how they really got the party going. No buyer's remorse for these lights at all. Turn the room's lights off, get some music and booze flowing, and you have yourself a simple party creator that you don't have to touch or mess with once you found that perfect spot to place it so it shines on the ceiling. Fun for the bedroom too.Just keep an eye on them after the party is over, because someone will want to take them from you.

It's different then the video posted. Lead me to believe I could remove a filter for the x to just have lights on the wall. Instead I recieved the lights with ball lights all over the wall and floor. Intertesting.. it's good motion but not what I thought it would be for $100. I say to much

Ran this last night at an outdoor gig for 300 people. We are a 5 piece classic rock band, and I added it to the existing spots and effects we have (some Chauvet, one by Luz, etc.). This gave a great wide area of coverage and looked really cool, even when projecting out over the crowd! I may consider a second unit, but not sure if needed unless you are doing "big" rooms. Two would be optimal for that. I like to have additional effects (swirls, strobes, etc) and not just one. Great light - buy it and you won't be disappointed!

I was very disappointed that the mic didn’t work when I got it. I owned this light years ago when it first came out and loved it.The light came in one 24 May 2022, I set it up directly in front of my speakers, dip switches off, mic sensitivity hi AND NOTHING! The lights only change colors when I tap the unit. I sent it back the same day for a refund, not an exchange. Are these lights refurbished? I wanna give them another chance

The media could not be loaded. I have now too sets of these lights they are awesome it worked great the microphone is super sensitive. Best lights I ever had. I recommended them to all my friends. Wouldn't want it any other way. My neighbors complain sometimes when I use them because it lights up their house. Updates on my lights how many years need for 3 years now and never had a problem. The mic is very sensitive I mean really sensitive I can snap my finger and it makes a light change. I have another set of lights and it doesn't do that. Let me tell you best bang for your buck
