Ayrton Mistral S - 300W 8000K LED Moving Head Spot with 7 to 53-Degree Zoom in Black Finish

The Ayrton Mistral S is a groundbreaking 300W LED moving head spot luminaire that combines cutting-edge technology with exceptional performance, all within an ultra-compact design. Building upon the success of the MERAK, Mistral S has been crafted to meet the needs of the most demanding lighting designers and offers a record-breaking output of 18,000 lumens. Designed for scenic and studio applications, this versatile luminaire features an advanced optical system and is perfect for both theatrical and live event productions.

Equipped with a 13-element high-resolution optical system, Mistral S boasts an 8:1 zoom ratio with a beam range of 7° to 53°, ensuring that it can cover a variety of application requirements. The 119 mm frontal lens ensures superior performance by delivering an extremely uniform flat beam with no hotspots. This lens system, combined with the motorized zoom, allows for fast and precise beam shaping, making Mistral S ideal for both spot and wash applications. The fixture's ability to produce a perfectly homogeneous color mix ensures the highest level of consistency across all beam angles, regardless of the selected color combination.

At the core of Mistral S is an LED module calibrated at 8000K that generates powerful metallic white light, capable of producing light output up to 18,000 lumens. With a color temperature of 7000K, the light is perfectly suited for demanding applications that require high intensity and color accuracy. The fixture also boasts an exceptional Color Rendering Index (CRI) greater than 70, ensuring that the colors produced are vibrant and true to life. Mistral S features flicker-free source management, making it perfect for use in TV and video-recorded events, where high-quality, consistent lighting is crucial.

For creative flexibility, Mistral S is equipped with a CMY color mixing system, allowing for smooth and dynamic color transitions. Additionally, the fixture includes a variable CTO for precise color temperature adjustments, along with a seven-position fixed color wheel that offers complementary color filters for a wide range of vivid pastels and saturated colors. The ability to mix colors seamlessly, combined with the advanced optics, provides users with unparalleled creative possibilities.

The gobo section of Mistral S includes two interchangeable gobo wheels: one rotating wheel with seven high-precision glass gobos and one fixed wheel with nine positions. These wheels offer a wide range of graphical effects, which can be enhanced with the continuous dynamic effects wheel. The fixture also features a 15-blade iris diaphragm for precise control over the beam size, with an adjustable range from 15% to 100% open. A five-facet rotating prism adds further creative potential, allowing users to create kaleidoscopic effects and dynamic light patterns.

In addition to its impressive color mixing and gobo effects, Mistral S is equipped with a soft-edge frost filter, ideal for creating softer washes of light or diffused effects. The fixture also offers a light frost filter for subtler diffusion and an optional heavy frost filter for more dramatic light softening. These features make Mistral S a versatile tool for creating a wide range of lighting looks, from sharp, defined beams to softer, atmospheric effects.

The Mistral S is designed for exceptional movement, with a pan range of 540° and a tilt range of 263°, ensuring smooth and accurate positioning. The fixture operates with 8- or 16-bit resolution and is driven by high-resolution stepper motors, providing smooth movements and high accuracy for dynamic lighting effects. The automatic repositioning feature ensures that the luminaire maintains its position even after rapid movements, making it a reliable choice for fast-paced performances.

Equipped with an advanced liquid cooling system, Mistral S ensures optimal performance even during extended use. The system features self-adjusting fans that regulate speed for quiet operation, and the fixture includes a Silent Mode for environments where noise control is essential. This makes the Mistral S perfect for use in noise-sensitive settings like studios and theaters. The fixture's design also includes excess temperature protection to ensure safe operation in all conditions.

The Mistral S is housed in a robust aluminum and steel skeleton, with a die-cast aluminum base and fire-retardant ABS PC molded covers. The compact design, coupled with its lightweight 41.6 lbs construction, ensures ease of handling and transport. The fixture features two-side handles and is designed to be installed with Omega 1/4 turn brackets, making it easy to mount and secure. With an IP20 protection rating, Mistral S is suitable for indoor use in a wide variety of applications, including stage lighting, television productions, and live events.

With its powerful output, versatile features, and exceptional color reproduction, the Mistral S is a top-of-the-line choice for lighting designers looking for a compact, feature-rich luminaire capable of delivering exceptional results in a variety of settings.
