Harman Professional Solutions introduces the new Martin ERA Performance Series that includes the 400, 600 and 800 fixtures, along with the first outdoor rated moving head, the ERA 500 Hybrid IP. The Martin MAC Allure Wash PC and VDO Atomic Dot fixtures also have been recently introduced at Live Design International 2019.
“The release of the new Martin ERA, MAC Allure and VDO Atomic Dot fixtures ushers in a new era of versatility, enabling lighting designers to create bigger, bolder and more creative lighting displays than ever,” says Mark Buss, Martin Lighting Product Manager, Harman Professional Solutions. “These streamlined, no-nonsense LED fixtures give rental companies tremendous power, value and trusted Martin performance. They’re bright, compact and loaded with in-demand features that lighting designers love.”
The feature-rich ERA Performance fixtures feature full CMY color mixing and separate color wheels, plus an iris for beam adjustment and a full curtain framing system. Fixed and rotating gobo wheels with gobos from the MAC range offer a wide variety of effects. The ERA Performance Series’ full curtain framing system is designed to give lighting designers a high degree of flexibility to achieve precise looks on stage. The entire system can rotate, allowing designers to direct light exactly where they want it to go and achieve unique movement effects.
At 34,000 Lumens and 800 watts with a 1:8 zoom, the ERA 800 Performance is the brightest moving head in Martin’s history and is designed for the largest arena and stadium productions. Additionally, the ERA 800 Performance features variable CTO for color temperature adjustment. The 550-watt ERA 600 Performance is designed for medium-sized shows, putting out 19,000 Lumens with a 1:8 zoom. The ERA 600 Performance also features variable CTO for color temperature adjustment. And for small-to-medium productions, the ERA 400 Performance is available in CLD and WRM variants, both with a 1:3 zoom range. The 10,000-Lumen CLD version features a 6,500k color temperature, while the 5,000-Lumen, 3,200k WRM version emulates the warmer color temperature of tungsten fixtures.
The ERA 500 Hybrid IP fixture is a fully outdoor rated moving head with a 370W Philips lamp with a 6000-hour lamp life. The all-in-one optics design features a 1:20 zoom and multiple projection modes, including “beam” for tight or wide coverage, “spot” for projection of gobos, or “wash” for a softened light effect. The ERA 500 features CMY color mixing and a separate color wheel, including CTO, ½ CTO, and 1/4 CTO.
With nine rotating gobos and 15 static gobos and two prisms, lighting designers have a myriad of options to achieve any combination of mid-air effects, pattern projections and prisms. The ERA 500 includes a suite of class-leading features in a compact design with an IP65 rating. This fixture is designed for concert tours, festivals, and outdoor events, even in inclement weather.
The Martin MAC Allure Profile is a fully-featured moving head fixture that combines a proprietary, solid state RGBW additive color mixing engine, a seven-segment pixelated beam and P3 and DMX control compatibility. MAC Allure Profile fixtures are designed to create an array of versatile looks with features such as dimmer, strobe, color mixing, gobos, iris, prism, zoom, focus, pan and tilt. It features a pixelated beam divided into seven individually controlled, full color segments. The Martin MAC Allure Wash is a wash light version of the MAC Allure Profile, featuring the same RGBW light engine and seven-segmented beam. With instant color control and pixelated beam control, the MAC Allure Wash PC is designed to produce dynamic diffused projection and mid-air effects.
Martin VDO Atomic Dot hybrid lighting and video fixtures are designed for punchy white light in CLD and WRM color temperature variants to support a wide variety of applications. The VDO Atomic Dot combines a video-controlled Aura backlight and a bright strobe/blinder dot in one fixture, for greater creative potential. The fixture’s compact design allows designers to place VDO Atomic Dots just about anywhere and deploy them in larger quantities. Integrated support for P3, DMX, Art-Net and sACN eliminates the need for additional interface boxes and onboard P3 eases pixel mapping and using the product as a video-controlled strobe.
