Description
Martin ELP PAR
The Martin ELP PAR is a compact yet powerful LED fixture engineered for studio and live-recording applications demanding precise color control and punchy output in a portable form factor. Its lightweight aluminum construction and integrated mounting bracket integrate seamlessly into fixed installations or mobile setups, while the quick-focus system ensures rapid positioning without sacrificing optical performance.
Light Output & Color Capability
With 7 x 40W RGBW LEDs generating 3,500 lumens, this fixture delivers substantial brightness for interview setups, product shoots, and performance recording. The RGBW color mixing engine offers 48 factory presets plus a virtual color wheel, and variable color temperature control from 1800 K to 12,850 K provides the flexibility to match ambient lighting, correct for camera white balance, or execute precise color-grading work in post-production workflows.
Control & Integration
DMX control is handled via Neutrik 5-pin locking XLR connectors (in/out), allowing seamless integration into lighting consoles and automation systems. Power delivery uses Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 TOP connectors for both input and throughput, with standard AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz operation and typical consumption of 300 W, supporting daisy-chaining across multiple units for synchronized multilight setups.
