ADJ has expanded its Focus Series with the introduction of the Focus CMY Compact, a next-generation automated LED moving head engineered to combine high output, extensive creative control and multi-functional versatility within a compact, portable form factor. Designed to meet the evolving demands of lighting professionals, the fixture integrates beam, spot and wash capabilities alongside full CMY colour mixing and advanced connectivity.

At its core, the Focus CMY Compact features a 400-watt LED engine delivering up to 14,500 lumens of output, positioning it to perform alongside larger luminaires across concert stages, theatres, corporate productions and houses of worship, while maintaining a reduced footprint and weight. The fixture’s motorised zoom system offers a wide 3° to 52° range, enabling seamless transitions from tight beam effects to defined spots and broad washes, effectively consolidating multiple fixture roles into a single unit. Fast and precise 3-phase pan and tilt motors further support responsive movement and accurate positioning for dynamic show environments.

Colour control is handled through a CMY mixing system designed for smooth and continuous blending, complemented by an adjustable CTO correction range from 3200K to 8500K for precise white light tuning. A dedicated colour wheel featuring seven dichroic filters, including a High CRI option, enhances versatility for applications where accurate colour rendering is critical, such as broadcast, theatre and worship settings.

The fixture’s creative capabilities extend through two GOBO wheels, offering eight rotating, indexable and replaceable glass patterns alongside ten static designs, allowing designers to build layered textures and visual effects. Dual rotating prisms—a 6-facet circular and a 6-facet linear—enable beam multiplication for aerial effects, while two frost filters provide light and heavy diffusion options for softer output and wide-area washes.

Despite its feature-rich design, the Focus CMY Compact remains engineered for portability, weighing under 45 lbs (20.2 kg) and measuring 23.5” (597 mm) in height. Integrated pan and tilt locks enhance protection during transport and rigging, supporting ease of deployment across touring and installed applications.

Connectivity is tailored to modern production workflows, with support for DMX with RDM, as well as Art-Net and sACN protocols for network-based control. The fixture includes both 3-pin and 5-pin DMX In/Out connections alongside RJ45 ports, ensuring seamless system integration. Built-in Aria X2 wireless management enables cable-free DMX operation, while NFC functionality and a six-button touch control panel with a full-colour, reversible LCD display simplify addressing and on-site configuration.

The Focus CMY Compact is also designed with efficiency and longevity in mind, featuring an LED source with an average lifespan of 20,000 hours and optimised power consumption, contributing to reduced maintenance requirements and lower total cost of ownership.

By consolidating beam, spot and wash functionality into a single fixture, the Focus CMY Compact reduces the need for multiple luminaires, helping optimise rigging space, streamline programming workflows and manage production budgets more efficiently.
