Martin MAC Encore Performance Warm Light Moving Head
The MAC Encore Performance Warm Light delivers whisper-silent operation across all motorized functions—cooling, zoom, pan, tilt, iris, and effects—making it essential for studio and production recording where ambient noise control is critical. At just 31 kg (68 lbs), this compact fixture achieves an exceptional lumen-per-kilogram ratio, combining premium build quality with genuine portability for mobile session work. The pure 3000 K warm tungsten emulation represents a fundamental shift in LED moving head technology, offering the spectral completeness and color rendition of traditional incandescent sources without compromise—crucial for accurate on-camera and set documentation during production.
Light Engine & Color Performance
The 468 W custom Martin LED engine produces 9,200 lumens of fixture output with industry-leading color metrics: CRI>90, CQS>90, TM-30 Rf>90, TM-30 Rg>98, and TLCI>90. This ensures skin tones, fabrics, set pieces, and talent render their true colors naturally across all recording and documentation work. Variable color temperature correction maintains precise black body curve accuracy from warm tungsten through daylight without green or magenta shifts, while the CMY color mixing system delivers everything from subtle pastels to saturated primaries with flat-field consistency during zoom and dimming operations—essential for maintaining continuity across multi-camera production sessions.
Optics, Effects & Control
A 1:4 zoom range (12°–48°) with auto-linked focus accommodates both tight and wide coverage in studio environments and location recordings. The fixture features 5 rotating glass gobos with negligible focal separation, 6 interchangeable dichroic color filters, four framing shutter blades with ±30° individual adjustment and ±55° system rotation, and an animation wheel with continuous multi-directional indexing for 3D mid-air effects. Control via 38 DMX channels (16-bit, USITT DMX512-A compliant) with 3-phase stepper motor technology and absolute position monitoring ensures rock-solid cue repeatability and silent, precise movement—enabling seamless programming and repeatability across production takes.
