Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these fixtures?
The Performance is a hard-edge spot with framing blades, gobos, and 6000K daylight output; the WASH is a soft-edge fixture with CMY color mixing, silent zoom, and 3000K warm white output. One creates sharp edge definition and projection; the other blends colors and remains camera-silent.
Which is better for broadcast or theater?
The MAC ENCORE WASH is purpose-built for broadcast and theater with flicker-free operation, whisper-quiet zoom, and selectable cooling. The Performance's daylight output and framing blades suit live events and touring venues where edge definition matters more than silence.
Can either fixture do both hard and soft lighting?
The Performance excels at hard-edge projection with its blade framing and gobo selection but produces spot light. The WASH is designed as a soft-edge wash with color mixing and zoom; it does not offer gobo projection or hard framing like the Performance.
Which is quieter and more suitable for silent environments?
The MAC ENCORE WASH features a whisper-quiet zoom mechanism and selectable cooling modes optimized for silent broadcast and studio work. The Performance prioritizes output and precision framing but is not marketed for silent operation.
