Audibax Thunder 250 RGB - Pixelable RGB LED Strobe with 960 LEDs, 250 W, DMX512 and RDM

Audibax Thunder 250 RGB - Pixelable RGB LED Strobe with 960 LEDs, 250 W, DMX512 and RDM

The Audibax Thunder 250 RGB is a high-performance professional strobe light designed for rental and permanent installation. It features 960 0.5W SMD 5050 RGB LEDs , DMX512 control with 3/9/24 channels , RDM function for remote management, and a wide 120° beam angle that ensures uniform coverage on stages, in event venues, nightclubs, and studios. Its electronics integrate 32-bit linear dimming (0–100%) , a strobe frequency of 1–30 Hz , and 10 kHz PWM to minimize camera flicker. With standalone , master-slave , and sound-activated modes, it offers quick setup without a console, as well as advanced DMX operation with 8-section pixel-capable mapping. The black metal housing, DMX input/output , and power input/output facilitate truss mounting and daisy-chaining, optimizing installation time.

Product benefits

• Great visual impact with precise control: the 8 pixelable sections allow you to create chase, blinder and RGB patterns synchronized with the music or the console.
• Professional workflow: RDM simplifies address assignment and diagnostics from the compatible controller, reducing assembly time.
• Camera ready: 10 kHz PWM modulation mitigates flicker artifacts in video, ideal for streaming, TV and recording.
• Integration versatility: standalone operation, sound or DMX operation, with signal chaining and power supply for extensive installations.
• Smooth operation: 32-bit dimmer and strobe up to 30 Hz for smooth fades and powerful bursts.

Use cases

• Events and festivals: large-scale RGB strobe effects with zone mapping.
• Clubs and rooms: blinder/strobe lights on catwalks and booths with sound or DMX control.
• Theatre and studios: effects without perceptible flicker on camera thanks to high PWM.
• Fixed installation: power supply and DMX chaining for clean and fast runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the difference between 3, 9, and 24 DMX channels? 3 channels control global RGB; 9 channels add a master dimmer, strobe, and macro selection; 24 channels control each of the 8 sections (RGB per segment) for pixel programming.
• Do I need an RDM-compatible controller? Only if you want remote addressing and diagnostics. The device works with any standard DMX console.
• Can the power supply be daisy-chained? Yes, it has power input and output to distribute power between several units within the electrical limits of the installation.
• Is it suitable for outdoor use? No, its IP20 rating makes it suitable for indoor or protected locations.
• Can it be used with flicker-free cameras? The 10 kHz PWM signal significantly reduces flicker with most common shutter speeds.

Good installation practices

• Addressing and testing: Configure DMX address and channel profile from the LCD panel; if your console is RDM, perform the remote patch and verify the response of each section.
• Thermal management: respects the range of -30 °C to 50 °C and ensures adequate ventilation around the chassis.
• Orderly daisy-chaining: Use DMX and power outputs to minimize wiring; terminate the line with a 120 Ω resistor where appropriate.
