The Martin Professional MAC Aura PXL is a cutting-edge 19 x 40W RGBW LED moving head wash fixture, designed to push the boundaries of color, intensity, and creative effects. Featuring advanced multi-lens and Aura backlight technology, the MAC Aura PXL is an upgrade to the already industry-standard MAC Aura series. It combines higher intensity, a tighter beam, and a more appealing aesthetic, making it perfect for a wide range of applications from touring and concerts to TV productions and high-end nightclub lighting.
One of the most exciting features of the MAC Aura PXL is its individual pixel control. This is the first wash light on the market to offer full control over both the main beam pixels and the Aura backlight pixels, allowing lighting designers to create stunning pixel-mapping effects. With 19 individually controlled main beam pixels and 141 Aura backlight pixels, you have endless possibilities for dynamic visual effects. This level of control is made possible by Martin's P3 video protocol, which integrates seamlessly into your existing setup, providing unparalleled flexibility in control via DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and more.
Visually, the MAC Aura PXL is designed to impress. Its 10,500 lumens RGBW light output provides bright and vibrant colors, while its high narrow intensity of 940,000 cd ensures that beams cut through the air with precision. The 6° to 59° motorized zoom range enables a tight, focused beam or a wide wash, giving you complete flexibility in how the light is used. The fixture's ability to create a perfectly even wash field with no visible hotspot and its high intensity mid-air beams make it ideal for both ambient stage effects and intense, focused beams.
Color mixing is another strong suit of the MAC Aura PXL. It uses RGBW color mixing to produce a full spectrum of vibrant, saturated colors, along with subtle pastels and warm white tones. With a color temperature range from 2,000K to 10,000K, the fixture allows you to seamlessly match other P3-driven products in your rig. Whether you need a warm tungsten look or a cooler daylight tone, the MAC Aura PXL gives you the full creative flexibility you need.
The fixture is designed with user convenience and reliability in mind. With its compact size and low weight, the MAC Aura PXL is easy to handle and install, while its advanced, low-noise cooling system ensures quiet operation in the most noise-sensitive environments. The fixture also features a variety of control options, including DMX-512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and P3, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control systems. With multiple DMX modes and 16-bit controllable parameters for beam dimming, color mixing, pan, and tilt, the MAC Aura PXL provides smooth, precise control over all aspects of its operation.
In addition, the MAC Aura PXL is built with durability in mind, featuring high-impact flame-retardant thermoplastic construction and an IP20 rating, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding environments. It's also designed to be energy-efficient, with a power consumption of only 560 W and an excellent efficacy rate of 25.4 lm/W.
Overall, the Martin MAC Aura PXL offers an unmatched combination of power, versatility, and creative possibilities. Whether you're lighting a live concert, a theater production, or a corporate event, this fixture delivers exceptional performance and stunning visual effects that will captivate your audience.
