Chauvet DJ D-Fi XLR RX Wireless DMX Receiver
The Chauvet DJ D-Fi XLR RX adds wireless DMX reception to compatible lighting setups. Connect this compact receiver to your fixture's DMX input and pair it with a compatible D-Fi transmitter. Its rechargeable battery helps simplify temporary installations, making it a practical addition to mobile DJ and event lighting rigs.
Chauvet DJ D-Fi XLR RX Wireless DMX Receiver
Bring wireless control to your lighting rig with the Chauvet DJ D-Fi XLR RX. This compact receiver connects to a fixture's DMX input and receives control from a compatible D-Fi transmitter, helping you bridge spaces where running a DMX cable would be inconvenient.
For mobile DJs and event operators, it offers a practical way to plan lighting positions around the room rather than around a long control cable. Use it when adding a receiving point to an existing compatible system or replacing an individual receiver.
The RX receives DMX and supported master/slave signals between similar fixtures. Its onboard indicators help you check wireless channel operation during setup.
A compatible D-Fi transmitter is required separately. Check your equipment's compatibility before ordering. The receiver handles lighting control, while your fixtures still require their own suitable power source.
Is the Chauvet D-Fi XLR RX Right for Your Setup?
- Mobile DJs: Add a wireless receiving point where a long DMX cable would be awkward.
- Wedding and event operators: Plan temporary lighting positions with fewer control cable runs.
- Existing D-Fi users: Expand a compatible system with an additional receiver.
- Lighting technicians: Keep a replacement RX unit available for compatible rigs.
Before ordering, check that your transmitting equipment supports D-Fi and that the receiver suits your fixture's DMX connection.

Chauvet D-Fi XLR RX Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Chauvet D-Fi XLR RX do?
It receives wireless D-Fi lighting control and passes it to connected DMX equipment.
Do I need a transmitter?
Yes. You need a compatible D-Fi transmitter to send the control signal. This individual RX product provides the receiving end of the link.
Where does the receiver connect?
Connect it to your lighting fixture's DMX input. Check the connection type and available clearance before ordering.
Will it work with every wireless DMX transmitter?
Check compatibility with your particular transmitting equipment. Operating in the same frequency band does not by itself establish compatibility between wireless systems.

How long does recharging take?
The manufacturer specifies a recharge time of 2.5 hours.
How do I select the wireless channel?
Switch the receiver on and press the Menu button to cycle through its 16 wireless channels. Select the channel used by your compatible transmitter.
Are wireless channels the same as DMX addresses?
No. The wireless channel selects the radio link. Set your fixture's DMX address and operating mode separately to suit your controller.
Can it receive master/slave signals?
Yes. CHAUVET lists support for receiving master/slave signals between similar fixtures. Check that your fixtures support the intended arrangement.
Does the receiver power my lighting fixture?
No. It supplies lighting control information. Your fixture still requires its own suitable power source.
