Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
● Showtec Performer Profile IP Q4
● Gobo holder with a glass gobo
● True1 to Schuko pro power cable (2,1 m)
● 2 x safety cable
● User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.

● Static
● Manual (Custom Programs)
● Master/Slave
● DMX-512/RDM (8CH, 9CH, 12CH, 17CH)
One Performer (Static, Manual)
01) Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
03) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
04) When the Phantom is not connected with a DMX cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.
Please see pages 17–19 for more information about Static and Manual mode.
Multiple Performers (Master/Slave control)
01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
03) Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the Performer.
The pins:
01) Earth
02) Signal -
03) Signal +
04) Link the units as shown in Fig. 10. Connect the first unit's DMX "out" socket with the second unit's "in"
socket, using a DMX signal cable. Repeat this process to link the second, third and fourth units.
