Frequently asked questions
Can I use these two products together?
Yes. The P3-175 controller can send DMX or Art-Net signals to the MAC ENCORE WASH fixture, allowing you to control the wash light's color, zoom, and intensity from the centralized control system.
Which is better for a small theater or venue?
The MAC ENCORE WASH is the fixture itself—it creates the light. For a small theater, you would need one or more MAC ENCORE WASH units plus a separate DMX controller (which may be simpler than a P3-175). The P3-175 is designed for larger, more complex installations with many fixtures.
Are these both suitable for touring?
Both products support touring work. The MAC ENCORE WASH is compact with an included flight case insert for transport. The P3-175 is a 1U rackmount processor designed for touring rigs but controls fixtures rather than creating light itself.
What is B-Stock on the P3-175?
B-Stock indicates the unit is a cosmetic second or refurbished return that functions fully but may have minor exterior marks. It carries a reduced price while retaining full specifications and professional capability.
