Martin MAC Ultra Performance, white finish, SIP
Description
Martin MAC Ultra Performance – White Finish, SIP
The Martin MAC Ultra Performance is a professional-grade moving light engineered for demanding studio and live recording environments where consistent light output and precise beam control directly impact visual capture quality. Its compact form factor and advanced cooling system enable reliable operation through extended session work, delivering predictable performance across multiple takes and camera angles.
Light Output & Optical Performance
A 1150 W proprietary LED light engine running at 5800 K produces 46,500 lumens in projection with a peak luminous intensity of 3,000,000 cd—sufficient for lighting large studio spaces, multi-camera setups, and broadcast-scale productions. The 1:7 zoom range with precision focus control and extended framing system gives operators repeatable control over beam shape and coverage, enabling consistent key lighting, fill, and backlight positioning across different scene compositions and camera positions.
Effects & Control Flexibility
Beyond raw output, the fixture includes two layers of rotating gobos, a full-function animation wheel, iris, frost, and prism effects, plus Martin's Animotion™ effect for dynamic beam manipulation—essential tools for adding visual dimension and texture to recorded content. High-resolution dimming, strobing, uniform color mixing, and variable CTO deliver the control necessary for complex lighting design while built-in color and spectral correction filters ensure consistent color rendition across production runs and multiple recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the light output and color temperature of the MAC Ultra Performance?
The fixture produces 46,500 lumens in projection with a peak luminous intensity of 3,000,000 candelas, running a 1150 W proprietary LED light engine at 5800 K color temperature. This output is sufficient for large venues and outdoor events requiring high brightness across long throws.
What effects and control options does it offer?
The MAC Ultra Performance includes two layers of rotating gobos, a full-function animation wheel, iris, frost, and prism effects, plus Martin's Animotion™ for dynamic beam manipulation. It also features high-resolution dimming, strobing, uniform color mixing, variable CTO, and color and spectral correction filters for precise lighting design control.
How long will the LED last and what is the cooling system like?
The LED has a rated lifetime of over 50,000 hours to 80% luminous output, ensuring extended operational life. An advanced cooling system using both convection and forced air circulation keeps the fixture reliable during demanding production schedules.
What is the zoom range and focus capability?
The fixture offers a 1:7 zoom range with precision focus control and an extended framing system, giving operators fine control over beam shape and coverage from intimate theater stages to arena-scale throws.
What does SIP packaging mean and how is it shipped?
SIP refers to the packaging method—the fixture is shipped in a cardboard box with a foam flight case insert for protection during transit. This provides secure, cost-effective shipping while keeping the fixture ready for immediate rigging upon arrival.
