The Martin MX-10 Extreme is a powerful 250W discharge lamp scanner designed for high-impact beam effects in demanding nightclub installations, touring shows, and large-scale events. Representing the high-performance end of Martin's scanner range, it utilizes a bright 250W discharge lamp to produce an intense, cool white beam with exceptional output and throw distance. The fixture's defining characteristic is its extremely fast and precise mirror-based scanning movement, capable of executing rapid aerial patterns, sharp hits, and synchronized chases that are a fundamental element of dynamic dance floor and concert lighting. Its high light output ensures visibility even in brightly lit environments or when competing with other intense stage lighting.

The MX-10 Extreme is equipped with a comprehensive effects system tailored for dramatic beam work. This includes a high-speed color wheel with a selection of dichroic colors, a gobo wheel with multiple rotating and replaceable metal gobos, and a fixed gobo wheel for additional pattern options. The gobos can be indexed and spun at variable speeds to create complex motion textures. A motorized frost filter allows for softening the hard-edged beam into a diffused wash when needed. The fixture features full-intensity control via a high-speed mechanical dimmer/shutter for precise blackouts and sharp strobe effects, essential for timing with music.

Housed in a robust, yoke-mounted casing, the MX-10 Extreme is built for reliability in continuous operation. Its design prioritizes thermal management with internal cooling fans to handle the heat output of the powerful discharge lamp. Controlled via standard DMX-512 protocol, it offers a wide range of programmable functions for lighting designers. For applications requiring the fastest possible beam movement combined with high brightness for long-throw applications, the Martin MX-10 Extreme stands as a professional-grade scanner that delivers intense, kinetic energy to any light show.
