Description
Martin MAC Aura XIP White in Cardboard
The Martin MAC Aura XIP is a compact, IP66-rated moving light designed to deliver consistent, high-output illumination across studio and live recording environments. Its motorized pan and tilt movements respond precisely to DMX control, while the integrated RGBW color engine produces accurate, tuneable light for capturing video, photography, and streaming content. This unit combines precise color mixing with responsive mechanical control, making it equally effective for fixed studio setups or mobile recording rigs.
Light Output & Color Performance
Seven 60W RGBW LEDs generate 6,000 lumens with exceptional efficacy at 21.3 lm/W, delivering bright, color-accurate output that translates cleanly through camera sensors and recording equipment. The color temperature range spans 1000K to 12,850K CCT with 16-bit resolution color mixing, supported by 48 selectable color presets that accelerate programming for consistent session-to-session results and rapid adjustments during production.
Optical & Mechanical Control
The motorized 540° pan and 220° tilt mechanism responds smoothly to DMX commands with full 16-bit resolution, while the variable zoom range of 6.3 to 50.4 degrees accommodates both key light positioning and fill wash applications. Twelve RGBW filaments in the Aura backlight create uniform field illumination and support dynamic effects, chasing patterns, and pixel-mapping workflows that enhance recording versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP66 rating mean for outdoor use?
IP66 means the MAC Aura XIP is fully protected against dust and high-pressure water jets, making it safe for outdoor venues, festivals, and rain-exposed environments without compromising performance.
How bright is 6,000 lumens, and will it work in daylight?
At 6,000 lumens with 21.3 lm/W efficacy, the Aura XIP cuts through high ambient light and sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor daytime events and large venues; comparable fixtures include the Clay Paky Sharpy Wash and Chauvet Professional Maverick MK Wash.
Can I control pan, tilt, zoom, and color from a lighting console?
Yes, the motorized 540° pan, 220° tilt, and 6.3–50.4° zoom all respond to full 16-bit DMX resolution, along with 16-bit color mixing across 48 presets and the full 1000K–12,850K color temperature range.
What is included in the box?
The MAC Aura XIP ships with two omega brackets and 1/4 turn fasteners for rigging, plus SoftLens, allowing you to mount and deploy immediately.
What are the key differences between this and a static LED wash light?
Unlike static washes, the MAC Aura XIP adds motorized pan, tilt, and zoom control for dynamic positioning and beam shaping across a wide throw range, plus the 12 RGBW Aura backlight filaments enable pixel-mapping and chasing effects for more complex designs.
