About the Martin Lighting MAC 2000 Wash XB Moving Head Light
The Martin MAC 2000 Wash XB is a high-output, automated moving head wash luminaire designed for large-scale stage, touring, and festival lighting applications where intense, even field coverage and saturated color are paramount. As part of the acclaimed MAC 2000 series, this variant specializes in creating broad, smooth washes of light with a powerful beam capable of illuminating vast areas or bathing performers in vibrant color. It is engineered to deliver exceptional brightness and color mixing performance, making it a staple for lighting designers who require both impact and versatility.
At the heart of the fixture is a high-intensity discharge lamp, coupled with an advanced optical system featuring a motorized zoom that allows for a wide range of beam angles from a broad flood to a more focused wash. Its sophisticated color system combines CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) subtractive color mixing with an additional fixed color wheel, enabling the creation of a vast spectrum of hues, including deep pastels and rich saturates, with smooth crossfades. The luminaire also includes a variable frost filter to soften the beam edge as needed.
Built to rigorous touring standards, the MAC 2000 Wash XB features fast, silent pan and tilt movement for dynamic repositioning, along with robust mechanical construction for reliable operation. It includes extensive onboard effects, such as a color scroll wheel and strobe function, controllable via standard DMX512. With its combination of sheer output, precise color control, and rugged durability, this fixture is designed to fulfill the demanding requirements of professional stage lighting where powerful wash effects are essential.
