Total Control for 3-color LED Fixtures!

Whether you're dialing in a single tri-color LED fixture or a bank of RGB lighting instruments, you'll find your job a lot easier with a Chauvet Obey 3 in your rig. This 3-channel DMX controller was specifically designed to make red, green, blue color mixing simple, allowing you to easily tap into the full range of colors your fixtures have to offer. You'll find plenty of compatible LED lights here at Sweetwater. Three playback modes take full advantage of an adjustable fade-time slider, and you can instantly switch or fade between nine preset colors. Onboard strobe control lets you up the intensity of your show, and the Obey 3 even offers you access to sound-activated and automatic programs.

Obey 3 Compact DMX Controller Features:
  • An ideal DMX controller for your RGB and tri-color lighting fixtures

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Does the job

This little controller really packs a punch. I tried a bigger controller but, way too much programming and, the size was somewhat not what I liked. I have 2 Chauvet 4bar Tri USB light bars and I have been using the wireless footswitch with great results.
With this little gem I set one bar to be operated with the footswitch and, the other DMX. I can get some very interesting color combinations by combining auto programs from both bars along with just setting one bar to a certain color and the other to a different color. The sound feature on the obey 3 really doesn't work as well as the bar operated with the footswitch but, combine the chase feature on the obey 3 with any feature on the bar operated with the footswitch and, that's where it gets fun. Very pleased with the ease of operation and the size of the obey3 along with a nice price and I now have quite a versatile system for not a lot of investment.

Great little controler!

Does a great job mixing colors and accessing all the effects of your Slim PAR(s) Plus adds a strobe effect!

A Great Tool

I have been using these things for years. One of them is nice, two nicer and three awesome. I looked at bigger and *better* units, but the plain truth is that three of these puppies is equal to anything I've ever seen. I'm actually just looking to pick up number four. I didn't give it the full five out of five rating because of the device's limitations, but because the power supplies are poorly made and the wires break just outside the power supply because of it. You will need to replace the power supply on these at some point.

Works Good, Instructions Suck

Nice little controller, be prepared to search online for videos that explain how to use it, the manufacture's instructions aren't much help at all.
Rated 4/5

Solid Entry-level Lighting Controller

Does exactly what's advertised with no added bells or whistles and for it's price point, that's perfect. I use it to sync a couple SlimPars and it does that just fine.

One Negative: Chauvet's documentation is not the greatest or easiest to understand. I've dealt with them a couple times and it hasn't gotten any easier. Their manuals are written from the point of view of someone that already fully understands lighting and setting up a DMX network. I think it's safe to assume that someone who's buying this product knows NOTHING about lighting or setting up a DMX network. So, work on improving your manuals, Chauvet.

And one Wish List item: wish it had and Audio In jack instead of relying solely on a tiny microphone. I found I had to that in order for "Sound" to work, I had to turn the volume up fairly loud, even at full Sensitivity. Would be great if I could plug a sound source in directly and have the lights dance at much lover volume.

That's it. Sweetwater and Robert were awesome as always!

Sweetwater lighting techs, DJs, and musicians alike have the deepest respect for Chauvet, both on the personal and on the professional side. Many of us first became acquainted with Chauvet before LED technology caught on, and it's been impressive to see their range of fixtures grow. Today, Chauvet offers some of our most popular LED lights, from drop-in PAR replacements and intelligent lighting instruments to exciting effects, foggers, haze machines, and more. We also love their innovation. Chauvet has brought LED technology to classic fixtures like ellipsoidal and Fresnels, while their D-Fi system has made wireless DMX truly accessible. Top it off with powerful hardware controllers, next-gen DMX control software, and much more, and we're happy to recommend the Chauvet gear we not only stock but also use ourselves.
