About the Martin MAC Viper Profile 1000W Moving Light

The MAC Viper Profile earned its reputation as a high-output profile luminaire with an exceptional feature set and superior light quality. Martin designed the Viper Profile to outperform market-leading 1200W profiles, and it does so while drawing less power. This makes it a practical choice for touring, theater, and broadcast rigs where both output and speed matter.

Color comes from a CMY system with a superior palette that runs through true reds, rich ambers, primary green, and deep blues, backed by an 8-slot color wheel and a linear CTO. On the beam side, the MAC Viper pairs two rotating gobo wheels and a patent-pending FX wheel with a 4-facet prism, a tight iris, and soft frost, so you can build layered mid-air and projection looks. The combined dimmer and shutter system covers smooth fades, intensity effects, and diverse strobe effects on a single fixture.

AVGear offers this MAC Viper Profile as a way to add proven moving heads to your inventory without paying full new-fixture prices. You get a brand-new unit at a discount, so there are no lamp hours or wear to account for before it ships. This fixture is backed by AVGear's quality standards and support.
