Description
Martin MAC Viper Wash DX Luminaire with CMY Color Mixing
The MAC Viper Wash DX delivers exceptional light quality in a compact, fast-responding fixture that handles full-range wash duties with precision beam control. Its internal barndoor system and sophisticated dimming architecture make it a genuine automated replacement for conventional Fresnel fixtures, giving lighting designers the ability to shape light onto performers, scenery, and set elements with articulate control. The fixture maintains uniform beam quality and color saturation across its entire zoom range without visible beam jump.
Optical Performance & Light Output
33,000 lumens at 6000K color temperature provide excellent illumination across stages and large venues. The 13.5° to 59° zoom range (1:5 ratio) transitions continuously without efficiency loss, allowing tight spotting or wide wash coverage as your lighting design requires.
Control & Beam Shaping
The internal barndoor system with indexing shutters enables precise framing and edge control, while the mechanical and electrical combination dimmer with 4 selectable curves delivers both smooth fades and instant blackout capability. A fast, tight iris with adjustable dynamic effects rounds out the shaping toolkit, giving operators millisecond-level control over projection.

At a Glance
The Martin MAC Viper Wash DX brings theater-grade beam shaping and automated framing into the studio—useful for video production, live-stream lighting design, or any recording session where you need to shape and color light onto talent and set with precision. Its CMY color mixing, variable color temperature (6000K–3200K), and internal barndoor system let you dial in exact light quality for on-camera work or recorded performance, while 33,000 lumens and smooth dimming curves ensure flicker-free capture at any frame rate. For studios shooting live performance video, interview content, or theatrical recordings, this fixture trades the bulk of a traditional Fresnel for compact automation and color fidelity that integrates cleanly into video and streaming workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CMY color mixing and how does it compare to other color systems?
CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) color mixing uses three color filters that blend to create any color across the visible spectrum, plus variable color temperature control from 6000K to 3200K for warm-to-cool adjustments. This system offers continuous, flicker-free color saturation that stays uniform across the entire 13.5° to 59° zoom range, making it ideal for precise color matching in performances and productions.
What does the internal barndoor system do and why does it matter?
The internal barndoor system with indexing shutters lets you frame and shape the light beam without external flags or tape, giving you millisecond-level control over which parts of the stage get illuminated. This feature makes the MAC Viper Wash DX function as an automated replacement for conventional Fresnel fixtures, providing surgical edge control while maintaining the speed and color mixing of a modern moving light.
What is the zoom range and how much light does it produce?
The fixture zooms from a tight 13.5° to a wide 59° (1:5 ratio) and outputs 33,000 lumens at 6000K, delivering excellent brightness for stages and large venues. The zoom transitions continuously without efficiency loss or visible beam jump, so color saturation and beam quality remain consistent whether you are spotting a soloist or washing the entire stage.
What control options are available and how does the dimmer work?
The fixture uses XLR5 DMX control (24-channel, 16-bit extended) and features a combination dimmer/shutter with 4 selectable dimming curves, smooth fades, instant blackout capability, and a fast iris with adjustable dynamic effects. This setup gives operators instant blackout, fade control, and real-time projection shaping from a single controller or lighting console.
What are the power requirements and physical size?
The MAC Viper Wash DX runs on either 120V (10.3A, 1225W) or 208V (5.8A, 1190W) with electronic ballast and weighs 39 kg (86 lbs) in a compact frame of 580 × 450 × 870 mm, making it suitable for both touring rigs and permanent installations where space and power budgets are tight.
