Aputure NOVA 9º 2x1 Tunable White LED Panel

About: Aputure NOVA 9º 2x1 Tunable White LED Panel

The Aputure NOVA 9º 2x1 is a high-output, lensed LED panel designed to replicate the power and precision of natural sunlight in a compact, portable form factor. Featuring an ultra-tight 9º native beam angle and a BLAIR chipset, the NOVA 9º 2x1 delivers exceptional long-throw performance, enabling filmmakers to project crisp, directional beams and hard shadows across great distances with remarkable intensity and control.

At its core lies Aputure’s advanced BLAIR color engine, a five-diode architecture that blends Blue, Lime, Amber, Indigo, and Red emitters for extraordinary spectral reproduction. This chipset achieves ultra-high color accuracy (CRI/TLCI ≥95, SSI 89/86) and precise white point control across an expansive 1,800K–20,000K CCT range, with full ASC MITC ±G green-magenta adjustment. The result is unparalleled flexibility for matching ambient sources, enhancing skin tones, or creating sun-like color rendition with extended red response.

With a native beam angle of just 9º, the NOVA 9º 2x1 focuses its output into a powerful, concentrated shaft of light that maintains intensity over long distances, ideal for simulating sunlight through windows, using with reflectors, or achieving defined shadow edges and specular highlights. Even when paired with its included flat diffusion panel, it retains exceptional punch and smooth luminance distribution for controlled softness.

Engineered for scalability, the NOVA 9º 2x1 can be stacked in multi-light yoke configurations to form large, directional arrays capable of recreating hard daylight effects at 10 meters or more. Sharing the same dimensions and QuickClip front-mounting ecosystem as the NOVA II 2x1, it offers full accessory compatibility and a removable yoke for flexible rigging in studios, truss grids, or on-location builds. Built for professional reliability, the NOVA 9º 2x1 features IP65 weather resistance, dual output modes (Max and Constant), four DMX-controllable fan modes, and a smooth 0.1–100% dimming range for precise exposure control. Its interface and connectivity options meet modern production standards with Sidus Link, Sidus Link Pro, DMX512 16-bit in/out, CRMX, and Art-Net/sACN. 

With a high output-to-weight ratio (19.65 kg / 43.32 lbs), durable weather-sealed housing, and seamless integration into the Sidus ecosystem, the NOVA 9º 2x1 is purpose-built for cinematographers and gaffers seeking the narrowest, most color-accurate beam in a portable LED panel form factor. Whether used as a single source or as part of a massive light wall array, the NOVA 9º 2x1 delivers the clarity, throw, and spectral precision needed to replicate the sun itself.
