Frequently asked questions
What is B-Stock and does it affect performance?
B-Stock typically refers to open-box, floor demo, or refurbished units. Performance and specs are identical to new; only packaging and cosmetic condition may differ. Most B-Stock items come with limited warranty.
Is 6000 lumens bright enough for large venues?
Yes. The MAC Aura XB's 6000 lumens with a 10–60° zoom range delivers tight spotting and broad wash coverage suitable for festivals, theaters, and permanent installations. Brightness scales with beam angle based on venue size.
What skill level do I need to operate this fixture?
Intermediate to professional. DMX programming and rigging knowledge are assumed. The fixture supports both 14-channel and 25-channel DMX modes for flexible integration into existing lighting control systems.
Will B-Stock save me enough money to justify the warranty trade-off?
That depends on your risk tolerance and venue criticality. B-Stock typically discounts 15–40% but offers reduced or limited warranty. For touring or backup fixtures, the savings often justify the shorter coverage; for primary production rigs, new may be safer.
