Martin, Jem and Mach @ PLASA 2005

Martin Professional will be exhibiting a full ensemble of new lighting, sound and fog effects at PLASA 2005. On display at the Martin stand (F54) will be the MAC 700, the latest high performance luminaire in Martin’s line of award-winning moving heads; the MAC 250 Wash, a 250-watt washlight in the MAC 250 Series; as well as updated versions of Maxxyz and the Maxedia Digital Media Composer. New Mania series lights will also be on display. Jem smoke will display its powerful AF-2 fan and new multi-headed Hydra fog system while Mach speakers will be launching a new subwoofer in its C-Range of competitively priced installation speakers.

MAC 700 Profile: Simply packed full of features, the MAC 700 is the latest high performance luminaire in Martin’s line of award-winning MAC moving heads. This powerful 700-watt luminaire houses the latest in lighting technology including a CMY color system plus color wheel, gobo animation plus two gobo wheels, motorized zoom, ‘Quiet Mode’ option and much more. Its superior optical system produces a remarkable light output, a light quality that is often better than competitive fixtures with higher rated lamps.

MAC 250 Wash: The MAC 250 Wash is the new 250-watt washlight in Martin’s MAC 250 Series. Equipped with important advancements like remarkably efficient reflector technology for greater output, extraordinarily fast and quiet movement, a variable frost filter for zoom effect, and a CMY color mixing system with a complementing color wheel, the MAC 250 Wash is the ideal accompaniment to the Martin Krypton and Entour profile spots.

RainMAC: Because rainwater can leak into the base of a lighting fixture and damage electrical circuitry causing all types of problems, Martin has developed the new RainMAC, a simple and effective way to ensure that the show goes on by keeping rain off your MAC fixture. The robust and UV resistant RainMAC is ideal for outdoor events. Easy to install, the molded compound plastic guard fits all MAC moving head fixtures from the MAC 250 Series to the MAC 2000 Series.

Mania SCX600: The Mania SCX600 is the newest scanner in the Mania series, an extraordinary and powerful 250W halogen moving mirror effect with state-of-the-art optics. The SCX600 features separate color and gobo wheels for a multitude of brilliant effects. Included are 7 interchangeable rotating gobos along with 9 interchangeable colors and a split color feature.

It features a rotating and swivelling mirror drum with rotating parabolic mirror dish for dynamic, razor sharp optics. A combined color and gobo wheel houses a myriad of sharp gobo designs. Other effects can be achieved through electronic dimming, strobe and manual focus. Effortlessly portable, the EFX500 is DMX controllable for ultimate manageability. The Mania EFX500 is designed for both installation and portable use. It includes built in macros for easy impression and fast and easy programming.

Xciter Upgrade: A new software upgrade for Xciter, Martin’s multi layer embedded controller for live manipulation of light shows, now makes it the most powerful controller in its class. With the new upgrade, Martin has increased the controller’s functionality to make it more powerful both in programming and playback, while at the same time increasing its intuitiveness and ease of use. A comprehensive training DVD is also included.

Jem Hydra: Jem Hydra is truly the new dimension in fog. Its 16 heads can be individually synchronized into waves of different outputs and effects so each head provides the most dynamic, accurate but independent output for exactly what the moment and space requires. Imagine an individually customized burst of fog at 16 crucial points on your truss or stage giving your lights just the right effect at just the right moment! A centralized base contains fluid and temperature controls that let you place the heads – free from the bulk of fog fluid containers – into areas that were once difficult or even impossible to reach.

Jem AF-2 Fan: The AF-2 Fan is a more powerful version of Jem’s industry standard AF-1 fan. Useful in a variety of environments including clubs, studios, theatres and touring applications, the AF-2 is both rugged and well designed. Easily truss mounted or floor positioned, the AF-2 can be remote or DMX controlled. Compact and extremely powerful, it can be used alone or as part of a complete fog system by linking with other Jem machines.

Mach CW 115: The Mach CW 115 is the newest subwoofer in Mach’s new C-Range of competitively priced, easy to install installation speakers. The CW 115 is a powerful reflex loaded sub which gives a deep and fast bass output. Constructed for heavy-duty use in professional environments, the subwoofer is constructed with a sturdy Baltic plywood cabinet and features a SafeCoat coating for optimal strength. Like all speakers in the Mach C-Range, the CW 115 is designed to fit unobtrusively into any install environment and features the same flying point principles used on the C-Range top boxes. The CW 115 is an extremely powerful, yet compact and easy to install subwoofer matching the CN and CM series from the Mach C-Range.

The Mach C-Range includes the CI Series of molded speakers for in-fill applications; CN Series for natural sound reproduction in near field applications; CM Series of dedicated top boxes for medium throw applications; and the CW Series of subwoofers. Also, the first in a series of white CI Series molded speakers, the CI 6, will feature at PLASA.
