Ayrton has launched the IP65-rated Rivale Profile, the next in its Classical IP65 3 series, and the first luminaire in its new Ultimate series. All Ultimate models share common features and are designed to deliver great weight-to-output ratios.
Rivale Profile was developed for mixed use indoors and outdoors, and in all conditions. It weighs 28kg and offers continuous rotation of the pan and tilt movement.
The luminaire is fitted with a new high-efficiency 450W sealed mono-block LED module, calibrated at 6,500K. Ayrton said it offers a luminous flux of 30,000 lumens.
The proprietary optical system has 13 lenses, delivering a 13-to-1 zoom ratio and zoom range of 4-52°. Equipped with a 160mm frontal lens, Rivale Profile can produce an ultra-intensive beam of 4°, close to that of the LT range, Ayrton said.
Rivale Profile has adopted a new high-definition progressive CMY colour-mixing system. An extended progressive CTO lets users fine-tune the colour temperature from 2,700K to 6,500K, and a seven-position colour wheel completes the palette of tools dedicated to creating colour.
For greater flexibility of use, Rivale Profile allows subtle adjustment of the colour rendering index from 70 to 86. Ayrton said the framing section permits accurate positioning of each shutter blade on a 100% surface area with a rotation of +/-90°. A 15-blade iris diaphragm with an aperture range from 15-100% is designed to enable beam optimisation in Beam mode.
The image section of Rivale Profile includes 15 interchangeable high-definition glass gobos on two wheels: one rotating wheel with seven positions and one fixed wheel with eight positions. The effect section is fitted with a monochromatic animation wheel, two combinable rotating prisms and two frost filters.
Ergonomics have been completely redesigned with four highly integrated handles intended to make installation easy.
