Martin MAC Aura/XB Softlens

Martin MAC Aura/XB Softlens

The Martin MAC Aura/XB Softlens is a compact moving-head fixture engineered for studio lighting setups and small-to-mid production environments that demand smooth, diffused light with sophisticated color mixing. Built for precise beam control with a forgiving soft edge, this fixture balances output intensity with the flexibility of a variable-focus lens system. Production teams value its straightforward operation and reliable performance in recording studios, interview spaces, and compact touring rigs where consistent, repeatable lighting is critical to session workflow.

Optical Design & Output

The Softlens optical configuration produces a shaped beam with a forgiving falloff characteristic, ideal for talent and product key lighting without harsh shadows or unwanted spill. The XB lamp module delivers consistent color temperature and lumen output, paired with a zoom range that adapts from tight spotlighting to broader wash coverage across studio space. This flexibility allows engineers to shape light for on-camera work, product shots, and backdrop illumination within a single compact fixture.

Control & Integration

DMX512 control integrates seamlessly into standard lighting consoles and networked systems, with motorized pan and tilt allowing remote positioning and dynamic movement cues. The fixture supports multiple color mixing modes and includes built-in gobo compatibility for textural variation, essential for productions demanding repeatable, synchronized lighting changes across multiple takes and sessions.
