The MAC Encore™ Performance CLD integrates advanced LED technology with a proprietary light engine, engineered to produce pristine, full-spectrum light with ultra-high color rendition. This innovative moving head delivers a 6000K crisp, neutral daylight, making it ideal for a range of professional lighting applications. Its sophisticated color mixing system offers a broad spectrum, from subtle pastels to rich, vibrant colors, while the unit also features fully adjustable color correction to tungsten/orange, ensuring seamless integration into any environment.
Designed for real-world use, the MAC Encore Performance CLD offers a pure white 6000K color temperature, providing one of the most comprehensive spectrums available in LED source moving heads. Its high Color Rendering Index (CRI), TM-30, and R9 values guarantee accurate color representation, ensuring that skin tones, costumes, and set pieces appear natural under its light. The carefully selected LED refresh rates further ensure flicker-free operation in camera applications, making it perfect for film and broadcast settings.
The MAC Encore Performance CLD is engineered for exceptional performance, combining compact design with a premium build quality that meets Martin’s renowned, tour-proven standards. This fixture boasts the highest lumen-to-weight ratio in its class, with a light weight of just 31 kg (68 lbs.). Despite its small footprint, the unit delivers powerful illumination and unparalleled versatility, making it one of the finest fixtures available on the market today.
In addition to its impressive optical capabilities, the MAC Encore Performance CLD offers a wide range of dynamic effects. It features five rotating glass gobos, providing a variety of projection and mid-air effects, complemented by the patented Animotion™ FX system, which adds 3D effects to the projection. Its slim focal separation enables designers to run gobos simultaneously with animation and framing wheels, while its precise iris ensures sharp, crisp beams. The fixture’s optical system maintains a flat field without any color temperature variation, even when zooming or dimming, guaranteeing uniform light distribution and color temperature consistency from high to low intensity.
The fixture's fast, silent 1:4 zoom and auto-linked focus make it suitable for both high and low ceiling usage, offering coverage ranging from tight beams to wide-area illumination. Additionally, the MAC Encore Performance CLD offers accurate and smooth color temperature control, with variable color temperature correction (CTO) that adheres to the black-body curve without introducing unwanted green or magenta shifts. Its CMY color mixing system allows for a superior palette, spanning from soft pastels to deep, saturated primary colors.
One of the standout features of the MAC Encore Performance CLD is its near-silent operation. Every motorized effect—cooling fans, framing shutters, iris, zoom, pan, and tilt—is engineered to function at the lowest possible noise levels, even when the fixture is operating at full capacity. This makes the MAC Encore Performance CLD ideal for environments where noise control is a critical factor, such as in theater or television production.
The MAC Encore Performance CLD’s compact form factor doesn’t compromise its performance. With its fully electronic dimmer and shutter control, the fixture offers multiple dimming curves and tungsten red-shift emulation. It also features a color wheel with six interchangeable dichroic filters, a motorized zoom, and an advanced animation wheel with continuous multi-directional rotation. This fixture is equipped with a highly precise framing system, with four independently controllable framing blades and a 55° rotation range, allowing for high-precision cue repeats.
In terms of construction, the MAC Encore Performance CLD is built with high-impact flame-retardant thermoplastic housing and is rated IP20 for protection. It has a compact size and is designed for easy installation with multiple mounting points. The fixture is also versatile in its power and connectivity options, featuring Neutrik TRUE1 power connectors and DMX/RDM data input/output via 5-pin locking XLR connectors.
The MAC Encore Performance CLD also features a reliable cooling system, combining convection and forced air to maintain optimal temperature levels with low noise. Its maximum ambient temperature is 40°C (104°F), and it dissipates a total of 2000 BTU/hr of heat, making it suitable for extended operation in demanding environments.
Overall, the MAC Encore Performance CLD is a cutting-edge solution for lighting professionals seeking a high-performance, versatile, and silent LED moving head fixture that delivers pristine light quality, dynamic effects, and outstanding operational efficiency.
