Description
Martin MAC Aura Single Lens Wash Light
The MAC Aura is an award-winning LED wash light that combines the intensity of a beam luminaire with the fluidity of a wash fixture in a compact, low-weight package weighing just 5.6 kg. Its defining innovation—multicolor beam LEDs paired with a backlight LED array—delivers uniform color mixing without the synthetic appearance typical of conventional LED wash lights. Production professionals and lighting technicians rely on the MAC Aura for its versatility, efficiency, and creative color capabilities across studio setups, installations, and live production environments.
Optical Performance & Beam Control
The fixture delivers 3,850 lumens of output with a zoom range of 11° to 58°, allowing seamless transitions from tight spotting to wide washes for layered lighting design. Pan and tilt movement span 540° and 232° respectively, enabling rapid repositioning and dynamic coverage across any production space. Electronic dimming with independent control of beam and aura, combined with four dimming curve options and strobe/pulse/burst effects, provides comprehensive control over light intensity, timing, and texture in your lighting design.
Color Mixing & Effects Engine
Dual color-mixing systems set the MAC Aura apart: RGBW beam color mixing for primary output and RGB aura color mixing for backlight effects. The fixture includes 33 LEE-referenced color presets plus variable white (2,500K–10,000K), with variable-speed color-wheel rotation for dynamic effects and smooth transitions. The built-in FX engine enables creative control while maintaining uniform, natural-looking shades that translate accurately through camera and in-person viewing.
