Description
Martin MAC One Dual VDO Header
The Martin MAC One Dual VDO Header is a professional-grade lighting accessory engineered for secure, flexible fixture mounting in studio and installation environments. Its compact, lightweight construction makes it easy to position and adjust, while dual mounting options accommodate multiple rigging configurations without compromise.
Design & Build
Measuring 568 mm in length (600 mm end-to-end when installed) with a footprint of just 85 × 58 mm, this header delivers substantial mounting capability in a minimalist form factor. The aluminum construction weighs only 2.20 kg (4.85 lbs.), reducing load on truss systems while maintaining structural integrity for professional studio setups and permanent installations.
Mounting & Compatibility
The header features two repositionable M12 threaded holes for standard lighting rigging, paired with four VDO Coupler receivers that directly interface with VDO Grid Mount Ring and VDO Atomic Bold/Dot fixtures. This dual-interface design eliminates the need for separate adapters and supports mixed-fixture configurations across the same mounting point.
