The Martin Professional ERA 800 Performance is a powerful and compact moving head profile designed for large-scale entertainment applications that demand extreme brightness and versatility. Equipped with an 800W LED engine, the ERA 800 Performance produces an impressive 34,000 lumens of output at a color temperature of 6,500K, delivering bright and crisp projections. This fixture combines advanced optics and robust features, including a 1:8 motorized zoom range from 7° to 56°, and is perfect for use in large venues such as stadiums, concerts, TV productions, and rental installations.
Featuring full CMY color mixing and a 6-slot color wheel, the ERA 800 Performance ensures vibrant and smooth color transitions, with the option to adjust the color temperature from 6,500K down to 2,700K via the linear CTO control. The fixture's color palette offers deep, rich hues with accurate color rendering, aided by the inclusion of a Spectral Enhancement filter that provides an even broader range of effects and improved color accuracy.
For visual effects, the ERA 800 Performance offers dual gobo wheels - a rotating gobo wheel with 6 gobo designs and a static gobo wheel with 7 additional gobos, all from the renowned Martin glass gobo collection. These wheels provide indexing, rotation, shake, and morphing effects, enabling users to create dynamic and evolving visual content. Additionally, the fixture includes a motorized iris for tight beam adjustment, along with two prisms (4-facet circular and 6-facet linear) for beam separation and creative effects. The fixture also comes with soft and heavy frost filters, giving users flexibility in producing wash effects or maintaining gobo detail with a smooth edge.
To ensure precise beam shaping, the ERA 800 Performance is equipped with a full curtain framing system. The four independently controllable blades offer ±60° rotation, allowing designers to frame specific areas on stage or create complex lighting shapes. Whether you need full blackout or subtle framing effects, this system provides the flexibility and precision needed for professional productions.
Designed for outdoor use with an IP20 rating, the ERA 800 Performance is housed in a rugged, high-impact thermoplastic casing. The fixture's durability is further enhanced by its cooling system, which ensures low noise levels while maintaining efficient operation. With a compact design and versatile installation options, the ERA 800 Performance is the ideal choice for demanding lighting environments, providing exceptional brightness, creative flexibility, and durability.
