Description
Martin Mac Encore Performance CLD SIP
The Martin Mac Encore Performance is a compact yet powerful moving head that captures precise light control and punchy output in a lightweight, studio-friendly package. Built for production work and installation scenarios where footprint and thermal headroom matter, this unit combines intelligent framing, color mixing, and gobo selection with professional-grade cooling and reliability. The 468W Cool White LED engine produces crisp 6000K daylight output that translates cleanly to camera and video capture without sacrificing dimmer sensitivity or nuance.
Optical Performance & Output
The 468W cool white LED provides daylight-balanced illumination with full 0–100% continuous dimming and integrated strobe effects for precise cueing and timing lock. The 6000K color temperature delivers neutral, true-to-life light that renders colors accurately for video, streaming, and multi-camera production workflows.
Control & Mechanical Features
Framing precision comes from four individually controllable rotatable blades with +/− 55° rotation, allowing selective masking and edge definition without gobos—ideal for isolating subjects and shaping light in tight studio setups. A 6-position dichroic color wheel, 5-position gobo wheel with interchangeable glass gobos, and animation wheel with variable control provide extensive creative flexibility for pattern and color layering in a single fixture.

Can I replace the gobos in the gobo wheel?
Yes. The fixture includes a 5-position gobo wheel with interchangeable glass gobos, allowing you to swap patterns to suit your show design.
What framing control does this fixture offer?
Four individually controllable rotatable blades with ±55° rotation provide selective masking and edge definition without requiring gobos, giving you precise frame control for shaping light on stage.
What is included in the SiP package?
SiP stands for 'System in Package' and includes a foam rubber flightcase insert, protecting the fixture during transport and touring.
