About the Martin MAC 2000 Series High Performance Luminaire
The Martin MAC 2000 series represents a professional line of high-performance, automated lighting luminaires renowned for their brightness, reliability, and extensive feature set in touring, theatre, and large-scale production environments. These moving head fixtures are built around a powerful, long-throw light source and incorporate a comprehensive array of effects mechanisms, allowing lighting designers to create dynamic aerial beams, sharp patterns, saturated colors, and intricate texture projections. The series includes several variants optimized for specific applications, such as wash lighting, profile (spot) lighting, and beam effects.
A defining characteristic of the series is its bright optical system, capable of projecting intense, tightly focused beams over long distances while maintaining even field and color consistency. The luminaires feature advanced color mixing systems—typically combining CMY subtractive mixing with a fixed color wheel—along with rotating gobo wheels with indexing, a motorized zoom, an iris, and frost filters for beam shaping. Fast, precise pan and tilt movement ensures the fixture can execute rapid cues and smooth positional changes.
Housed in a rugged, die-cast aluminum body, MAC 2000 luminaires are engineered for the rigors of touring, with advanced thermal management and easy-access service points. They are controlled via standard DMX512 and offer features like built-in macros, a library of pre-programmed effects, and fixture-to-fixture copying for simplified setup. As a benchmark in its class, the MAC 2000 series provides the output, versatility, and durability required for demanding professional lighting productions.
