Martin Martin Era 150 Wash
Description
Martin ERA 150 Wash
The Martin ERA 150 Wash is a compact, high-output LED wash light engineered for studio lighting, video production, and recording environments where precise color control and silent operation are critical. Its lightweight aluminum construction and intuitive pan/tilt mechanics make it easy to rig and reposition between setups, while the full-gamut color system delivers saturated hues across a wide color temperature range. This is a reliable workhorse fixture—efficient, quiet enough for live recording, and built to maintain consistent performance across long 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 key lighting, fill, and background wash applications in mid-sized studio and production spaces. Color temperature control from 1,800–12,850 K combined with full-gamut color calibration ensures whites remain neutral and saturated colors stay vibrant—critical for accurate on-camera performance and color-graded footage without unwanted shift or desaturation.
Control & Integration
Native DMX/RDM support over 18 channels (USITT DMX512-A and ANSI/ESTA E1.20 compliant) integrates seamlessly into any lighting console or wireless system, enabling precise automation and cue integration into production workflows. 16-bit fine pan/tilt control allows smooth repositioning and exact placement. The fixture operates at 33 dB in Theatre Mode, making it virtually silent during recording—no fan noise to bleed into audio tracks or interrupt takes.
