The MAC 250 Beam is a new member of Martin Professional’s popular 250 watt series, an extremely punchy and compact beam fixture that generates variably sized pencil beams as well as wash effects via a motorized frost filter. It is available as an easy and inexpensive upgrade that installs in only 5 minutes on any existing MAC 250 Wash™ fixture.
The MAC 250 Beam upgrade kit consists of a new front module with micro Fresnel lens and a set of six beam effect gobos/apertures. It converts any standard Martin Professional MAC 250 Wash into a MAC 250 Beam in a matter of minutes, bringing new life and value to existing MAC 250 Wash fixtures for very little cost.
The MAC 250 Beam’s intense light output and tight beam make for an extremely powerful mid air effect. The brilliant output is optimized via a glass cold light reflector.
A large diameter micro Fresnel lens produces a distinctive wide beam look that looks great mid-air, the same fat beam look as you get from 300 watt fixtures. A long 3000 hour lamp life translates into a lower cost of ownership and a choice of lamp options provides added flexibility. The MAC 250 Beam projects a very narrow 3 to 8 degree beam for a real pencil effect, especially at smaller gobo apertures.
The MAC 250 Beam’s CMY colour mixing system produces a broad spectrum of colours with smooth cross fades in between colours for spectacular mid air effects.
A gobo wheel with 6 static gobos/apertures plus open allows for wider or tighter beam effects as well as multiple beams or cone looks. A motorized frost filter can be employed for soft beam or wash type effects. A high resolution dimming system provides smooth dimming and fast strobe effects.
The MAC 250 Beam is exceptionally quiet with variable fan control that keeps noise levels low to suit theater and TV studio applications. It features all the remarkable speed and quiet movement of the MAC 250 Series and a high-speed, automatic reset function realigns the fixture in seconds.
The MAC 250 Beam’s modular housing makes service and maintenance simple with fast access to modules and critical components for lower service costs and total cost of ownership.
A multi position, tilt arm lock eases maintenance and handling further and a switch mode power supply guarantees complete worldwide compatibility.
MAC 250 Beam components can be uninstalled and the fixture returned to a standard MAC 250 Wash configuration at any time.
I Have 4 Mac 250 Wash’s and want the Martin MAC 250 Beam upgrade. Where can i go and buy it?? Thanks
You could try contacting White Light or Stage Electrics if you’re in the UK. Not sure if they stock them, but I’m sure they can get them in if you want them! If you’re outside the UK, I can’t really help, but maybe post a request in the forum and someone might be able to help you.
