Martin ERA 600 Performance LED CMY Color Mixing Light
Description
Martin ERA 600 Performance LED CMY Color Mixing Light
The Martin ERA 600 Performance is a compact, versatile moving head that delivers professional output without sacrificing portability or ease of integration into studio environments. Weighing just 31.3 kg with a modular design that allows effects swaps in under a minute, this fixture handles the demands of high-end production work while maintaining the optical precision and color control expected from Martin's professional line.
Light Engine & Optical Performance
A 550W white LED engine producing 6,500K projection yields 19,000 lumens of fixture output with a crisp, flat field maintained consistently across the 1:8 zoom range (6–45 degrees). Electronic dimming and strobe capabilities deliver instant intensity control down to zero percent, ensuring the fixture responds immediately to programming demands and accommodates varied ceiling heights in production spaces.
Color & Effects Palette
Independent CMY color mixing (0–100%) is paired with a 7-position color wheel and variable color temperature control (6500–2700K) for precise hue selection from pastels to saturated primaries. The fixture includes 7 rotating/indexing gobos, 8 static gobos, and two rotating prisms (4-facet circular and 6-facet linear) alongside a full curtain framing system with 4 independently controllable blades and +/−60° rotation for exact beam shaping and soft-edge gobo projection that integrates seamlessly into production workflows.
