Martin ERA 150 Wash
The Martin ERA 150 Wash is a compact, high-output LED wash light engineered for studio, live recording, and post-production applications where precise color control and silent operation matter. Its lightweight aluminum construction and intuitive pan/tilt mechanics make it easy to position and adjust, while the full-gamut color system delivers saturated hues across a wide color temperature range. This is a workhorse fixture—reliable, efficient, and built to handle demanding production schedules and close-proximity recording sessions.
Light Output & Color Performance
The 7 × 40W RGBW LED array produces 3,900 lumens with an intensity of 397,783 candelas, delivering even field coverage ideal for keying talent, lighting set pieces, and creating consistent fill across studio spaces. Color temperature control from 1,800–12,850 K combined with full-gamut color calibration ensures whites stay true and saturated colors remain vibrant—critical for on-camera work where color accuracy directly impacts post-production workflow.
Control & Integration
Native DMX/RDM support over 18 channels (USITT DMX512-A and ANSI/ESTA E1.20 compliant) integrates seamlessly into any lighting console, while 16-bit fine pan/tilt control enables smooth tracking and precise cue execution during takes. The fixture runs whisper-quiet at 33 dB in Theatre Mode, eliminating fan noise during audio recording and keeping your studio environment clean and interference-free.
