Chauvet DJ D-Fi XLR TX: Wireless DMX in Your Pocket

The D-Fi XLR TX turns any standard wired DMX setup into a wireless one. Instead of running long DMX cables to fixtures across a room or stage, plug the transmitter into your controller, and fixtures with built-in D-Fi, or D-Fi XLR RX receivers, pick up the signal wirelessly. It works for both DMX and master/slave signals.

Simple and Self-Contained

Because it’s battery powered, the transmitter needs no power supply at the controller, keeping your DJ booth or FOH position tidy. LED indicators confirm the wireless channel in use, so it’s easy to match the transmitter to your receivers and fixtures.

Setting Up the D-Fi XLR TX

Charge the transmitter fully before your event. Plug it into the DMX output of your controller or the first fixture in a chain, choose a wireless channel, and set your D-Fi fixtures or D-Fi XLR RX receivers to the same channel. Confirm the LED indicators, then run your show as usual.

What to Pair With the D-Fi XLR TX

Pair the D-Fi XLR TX with D-Fi XLR RX receivers for fixtures without built-in wireless, D-Fi-enabled fixtures such as Freedom Pars, SlimPAR ILS fixtures, and Intimidators, and a DMX controller. The D-Fi XLR Pack bundles a transmitter, three receivers, and a multi-charger.

Why D-Fi?

Chauvet DJ’s D-Fi is a wireless DMX ecosystem built into many of its fixtures. Adding a D-Fi XLR TX lets you control all of those fixtures wirelessly from any DMX controller, speeding setup, reducing trip hazards, and letting fixtures go anywhere in the room.

Getting the Best Range

For reliable wireless DMX, keep a clear line of sight between the transmitter and fixtures where possible, avoid mounting the transmitter against large metal objects, and choose a wireless channel that isn’t crowded by other 2.4 GHz devices in the venue.

Charging and Care

Charge the transmitter fully before every event and keep its charging cable in your controller case. Store it away from moisture and extreme heat, and check the XLR pins for damage before plugging into a controller. A spare transmitter makes a cheap backup for long or critical shows.
