Martin ERA 800 Compact Moving Head CMY Color Mixing Light

Martin ERA 800 Profile Compact Moving Head CMY Color Mixing Light

The ERA 800 Profile brings studio-grade light control and output consistency to production work, broadcast, and live recording environments. Its efficient 800 W LED engine produces 34,000 lumens of crisp, even light with a flat field across the entire zoom range, while the modular design allows fast effect swaps in under a minute—essential for productions that demand quick setup and reconfiguration between sessions or segments.

Light Output & Color Consistency

The 800 W, 6,500 K LED source delivers exceptional output stability without the color shift and maintenance burden of traditional lamps, with fully electronic dimming for instant intensity control and ultra-fast strobing down to zero percent. The 160 mm front lens and 1:8 zoom range (7° to 56°) maintain consistent, high output across the entire focal range, making this fixture equally effective for broad key lighting or precision fill and accent work in studio and location recording setups.

Color & Effects for Production Recording

Dual rotating gobo wheels plus a static wheel provide access to 12 rotating/indexing gobos and 7 static gobos, all from Martin's renowned MAC range, with dual prisms (4-facet and linear) for dynamic morphing and animation effects. Full CMY color mixing with variable CTO control enables seamless transitions from daylight to tungsten color temperatures, plus soft and heavy frost options for wash effects and gobo softening—critical for matching color temperature to existing room light or camera white balance in hybrid productions.
