Gobo Animation Dimmer/Shutter

The MAC 550 features a DMX controlled gobo animation system - unique to a mid-sized luminare. It is specially engineered to createanimated effects such as clouded skies, reflective seas and flames. The system comes complete with one animation wheel, with further wheels available to expand your library. Each wheel is quickly changed via amagnetic coupling without the use of tools. A full range dimmer/shutter is veryaccurate and allows for smooth color and effect transitions by varying the intensity of the light output. Accelerated strobe effects are possible up to 20 Hz.

Electrical Power Supply

A switchable power supply covers worldwide voltages and frequencies allowing the fixture to operate anywhere in the world.

Zoom & Focus

The MAC 550’s variable motorized zoom and focus expands the rustic beam continuously from 14Ëš- 30Ëš with high precision and sharpness.

Iris & Prism Transportation

A bi-directional, 3-facet prism rotates at variable speeds, adding unique effects to gobo projection. The prism can also be replaced giving lighting professionals further options for customization. A motorized iris allows you to resize thebeam quickly and accurately for fast effects with smaller beam sizes. The Martin flight case, designed for the MAC family, is recognized in the industry as one of the best purpose- built cases for the transportation of lighting fixtures. Made of durable ply, it is covered in a tough water-repellent coating for added protection.

Modular design Pan/Tilt

The design of the MAC 550 is unashamedly inspired by the larger MAC 2000. This award winning design is highly efficient, making service and maintenance easier with fast access to modules and critical components. New pan and tilt motors give faster- than-ever movement for a mid-sized fixture, with a pan movement of 540Ëš and a tilt range of 246Ëš The MAC 550 employs an intelligentposition correction system that auto- matically returns the luminare to its original position, should it accidentally be knocked out of place. A multi position, tilt lock mechanism is also featured to permit easy maintenance and handling.

Silence

The MAC 550 contains head and base temperature sensors to ensure that design fan speeds are kept to a minimum; bringing noise levels right down to suit theatre and TV studio applications.

Communications

The MAC 550 is DMX512-controllable, equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR in/out sockets, and totally compatible with coming future standards such as ACN or Ethernet-based protocol.
