Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP in EPS
Description
Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP in EPS
The Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP is a compact yet powerful moving head that delivers exceptional visual output without demanding the footprint or power budget of larger fixtures. Its dual-engine design—combining a high-intensity beam engine with an independent RGB aura backlight system—creates dimensional lighting textures that enhance projection mapping, set design reinforcement, and dynamic stage atmospherics, while remaining practical for mid-scale touring and permanent venue installations.
Output & Optical Performance
The 27,000-lumen beam engine maintains brightness consistency across a 6 to 51-degree zoom range, allowing tight spot-to-wash transitions without fixture swaps. The 70-watt aura LED engine drives 234 individual RGB LEDs across the backlight, layering color and texture into the main beam—a critical advantage for creating depth in complex lighting designs and multi-fixture compositions.
Control & Integration
Native support for DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 protocols integrates seamlessly into both traditional wired control chains and networked lighting systems. The IP54 weatherproof rating and 50,000-hour LED lifetime ensure reliable operation across extended touring schedules and outdoor venue deployments, while dual 1/4-turn omega bracket points plus M12 threaded mounting accommodate diverse rigging scenarios without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the zoom range and beam spread?
The Raven XIP features a motorized 6 to 51-degree zoom range, allowing tight spot work at narrow angles and broad coverage at wider settings without requiring fixture swaps. This versatility reduces the number of different fixtures needed in a rig.
How does the aura LED engine work with the main beam?
The dual-engine design combines an 830W beam LED engine with an independent 70-watt RGB aura backlight system of 234 individual LEDs. The aura engine creates dimensional color separation and texture that enriches the beam itself, adding visual depth that larger single-engine fixtures struggle to match.
What control protocols does it support?
The Raven XIP natively supports DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 protocols, ensuring seamless integration into traditional wired rigs, networked systems, and mixed control ecosystems.
Is this fixture suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The IP54 weatherproof rating and 3,478 BTU/hr thermal dissipation capacity enable reliable outdoor deployment. Combined with a 50,000+ hour LED lifetime and dual rigging points, this fixture is built for touring productions and permanent outdoor installations.
What mounting options are available?
The fixture includes dual 1/4-turn omega bracket mounting points plus an M12 threaded rigging point, providing flexible and secure mounting for truss, floor stands, and permanent installation hardware.
