Martin MAC Encore Performance Warm Light Moving Head

Martin MAC Encore Performance Warm Light Moving Head

The MAC Encore Performance Warm Light operates with whisper-silent motorized control across all functions—cooling, zoom, pan, tilt, iris, and effects—essential for recording-adjacent sessions and studio environments where acoustic isolation matters. At just 31 kg (68 lbs), this compact fixture delivers an exceptional lumen-per-kilogram ratio, combining premium build quality with genuine studio portability. The pure 3000 K warm tungsten emulation represents a fundamental shift in LED moving head technology, offering the spectral completeness and color rendition of traditional incandescent sources without compromise—critical for capturing accurate product, talent, and set detail on camera and in final edits.

Light Engine & Color Performance

The 468 W custom Martin LED engine produces 9,200 lumens of fixture output with industry-leading color metrics: CRI >90, CQS >90, TM-30 Rf >90, TM-30 Rg >98, and TLCI >90. This ensures skin tones, fabrics, and set pieces render their true colors naturally across all applications—a requirement for broadcast-quality video production and multicam recording sessions. Variable color temperature correction maintains precise black body curve accuracy from warm tungsten through daylight without green or magenta shifts, while the CMY color mixing system delivers everything from subtle pastels to saturated primaries with flat-field consistency during zoom and dimming operations, keeping the color palette locked across multiple takes and edits.

Optics, Effects & Control

A 1:4 zoom range (12°–48°) with auto-linked focus accommodates both tight and wide coverage in studio ceiling heights and location shoot scenarios. The fixture features 5 rotating glass gobos with negligible focal separation, 6 interchangeable dichroic color filters, four framing shutter blades with ±30° individual adjustment and ±55° system rotation, and an animation wheel with continuous multi-directional indexing for 3D mid-air effects. Control via 38 DMX channels (16-bit, USITT DMX512-A compliant) with 3-phase stepper motor technology and absolute position monitoring ensures repeatable cue execution across multiple recording passes and reliable, silent pan/tilt movement that won't compromise audio capture or introduce vibration into rigged setups.
