Chauvet DJ GigBAR 2: A Light Show in One Bag

The GigBAR 2 is one of the most popular portable lighting systems for DJs and bands because it does so much with so little setup. Derbies throw multicolored beams across the room, pars wash the dance floor and stage in color, strobes add bursts of energy, and the laser fills the ceiling with moving patterns. Adding UV to the pars and strobes expands color mixing and creates blacklight effects.

GigBAR 2 Control Options

Built-in automatic and sound-active programs run the show with no programming needed. The wireless footswitch lets performers change modes, trigger strobes, and black out hands-free from up to 100 feet away, and the IRC-6 remote offers control from anywhere in the room. For full creative control, connect a DMX controller. Multiple GigBARs can be linked and controlled together from a single remote or footswitch.

Setting Up the GigBAR 2

Extend the tripod to between 1.5 and 2.5 meters, mount the bar, and aim the fixtures toward the dance floor. Plug in one power cord, choose a mode with the footswitch or remote, and you’re ready. Keep the laser aimed above the audience’s eye level, and pack the bar and tripod into the included bag when you’re done.

What to Pair With the GigBAR 2

A haze machine makes the derby beams and laser visible in the air for maximum impact. For bigger rooms, add a second GigBAR, uplighting around the room, or a moving-head system like the GigBAR Move. A padded case protects the bar between gigs.

Why Choose an All-in-One Lighting System?

Buying individual fixtures means more stands, cables, and controllers to carry and set up. All-in-one systems like the GigBAR 2 combine multiple effects on one stand with one power connection and built-in control, which is why they’re a favorite for mobile DJs, bands, and schools who need professional results with minimal setup time and gear.

Chauvet DJ GigBAR 2 FAQ
