Compact 3U DMX Controller

The Chauvet DJ Obey 40 is a 192-channel universal DMX-512 controller built for intelligent lighting systems. It fits in a compact 3U rackmount form factor suited for mobile and fixed installations. The unit manages up to 12 fixtures at 16 channels each.

DJs and mobile performers needing fixture

This controller suits operators who want integrated fog, strobe, beat activation, tap-sync and auto-run modes in one box. MIDI compatibility and a DMX polarity selector add flexibility for larger shows. Builders who need more than 12 fixtures or more than 16 channels per fixture should look elsewhere.

192 DMX channels across 30 banks

The controller provides 192 total DMX channels organised in 30 banks of 8 scenes, giving a maximum of 240 scenes. Six chase banks can each hold 240 scenes for programmed sequences. This channel and scene capacity is the specification that determines whether the Obey 40 matches the show size.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Obey 40 draw when running a full show all day?

The controller draws minimal power from its external supply; no fan or high-wattage circuitry is present, so heat and noise stay negligible during extended use.

What cabling and fixtures must I already own to operate the Obey 40?

You need DMX-512 cables for each fixture, up to 12 intelligent lights that accept 16 channels each, and a standard IEC power cord for the controller itself.

Will the Obey 40 work alongside my older DMX fixtures that use fewer than 16 channels?

Yes, each of the 12 fixture buttons can be patched to any start address from 1 to 512, so 8-channel or 4-channel units integrate without changes to their settings.
