Not without protection. The fixture is rated IP20, so it is built for indoor or dry, covered use only. For outdoor events, keep it under a roof or tent, shield it from moisture, and keep the front lens out of direct sunlight so the lens cannot focus sunlight onto internal parts.

Use the standard Fresnel lens (14 to 60 degrees, 1:4) for soft, even washes at shorter throws. Choose the optional PC lens (11 to 58 degrees, 1:5) for a slightly tighter, punchier beam, longer throw, and a bit more output. The lenses swap on the same fixture, so many buyers keep both for flexible rigs.

It runs on 24 DMX channels over a 5-pin XLR link from any standard lighting console, and it supports RDM for remote addressing and feedback. For networked control like Art-Net or sACN, feed it through a DMX node, since the fixture itself speaks DMX and RDM. A backlit display and jog wheel let you address and test it on battery power before you connect mains.

No. The MAC Encore Wash WRM is a wash fixture, so it does not project gobo patterns. If you need gobos, gobo animation, or framing shutters, look at the MAC Encore Performance profile fixture instead. The Wash shapes light with its color wheel, CMY color mixing, and the Animotion FX System.

Yes. Martin built the WRM to match the warm 3000 K look of the TW1, so it blends well in a rig alongside TW1 units and warm Fresnels. Dial the whites together using the CTB and CMY controls. Compared with the TW1, expect quieter fans, lower power draw, and longer LED life.

It depends on throw distance, the coverage you want, and how bright the wash needs to be. A common starting point is one fixture for every 3 to 4 m of stage width for even color, then add units for extra intensity or backlight. The 1:4 zoom lets each unit cover a wide or tight area, so hanging them higher can cover more ground with fewer fixtures.

Rig it with two clamps on the omega brackets and lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners, then add a safety cable rated for the 28.5 kg (62.9 lb) weight as a secondary attachment. Power runs through a Neutrik TRUE1 cable, and you can daisy-chain power between fixtures within your breaker limit. Clamps, cables, and lens options are sold separately.

It gives you the same warm 3000 K look and soft field as a tungsten Fresnel, but with no re-lamping, far less heat and power draw, and quiet cooling. It also adds CMY color mixing and movement that a standard Fresnel cannot do. Tungsten red-shift emulation warms the color as you dim, so the fade feels like a real incandescent source.
