Martin by HARMAN Introduces MAC Aura XIP Indoor/Outdoor
Premium Wash Light with Filament Effect
Martin by HARMAN Launches MAC Aura XIP
HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video, lighting and control, introduced
the Martin MAC Aura XIP, premium moving head wash light raising the bar for optical quality,
featuring an even wash field with soft edge, minimal stray light, and high intensity mid-air beams.
It has a radical aura filament effect, with improved light engine control and a first-in-its-class
outdoor rating with close to zero compromises in weight, size and aesthetics.
"In developing the MAC Aura XIP, we set out to build a true workhorse," said Wouter Verlinden,
Product Manager Creative LED, Lighting and Control. "Our smart outdoor-capable design
intelligently
seals away vital electronics while exposing the cooling system to the elements which allows for a
lighter, quieter and more versatile unit that can be used anywhere, at any time, reinventing the
universal indoor/outdoor-rated concept."
MAC Aura XIP's 12 Radical RGBW filaments deliver a brighter aura backlight effect as well as the
ability to show iconic aura filaments, promising new and exciting stage effects. The extensive
feature package covers both indoor and outdoor applications with optional high CRI / TM-30 / TLCI
modes, LED frequency control for a flicker-free even wash light, RGBW color mixing and multiple
control options. Also included are variable calibrated color temperature control, 200+ built-in FX
macros, rapid movement and 8.8 - 49.3 zoom range, and weighing just 8.9 kilograms.
"The MAC Aura XIP is truly a wash light workhorse," added Verlinden. "It works equally well in a
range of applications; from quiet and demanding theater, broadcast and other indoor applications to
brutal working applications such as outdoor festivals and touring." While the MAC Aura XIP offers
lighting designers a range of possibilities with its aura filament effect, narrower beam and better
wash quality with improved light engine control; rental customers will appreciate a workhorse that
is lighter and more versatile with optical improvements and a sealed design, allowing the product to
be used virtually anywhere and require less maintenance.
