The MAC Ultra Performance sets a new standard in high-output moving head lighting, delivering exceptional brightness and advanced functionality that redefine what’s possible for large-scale live productions. This powerful fixture is engineered around Martin’s proprietary 1150 W, 5800 K LED light engine, generating an outstanding 46,500 lumens of fixture output with up to 90,000 lumens at the engine level. With an ultra-efficient optical system, the MAC Ultra maintains remarkable brightness throughout its 1:7 zoom range, making it ideal for massive stages and high-trim applications where strong throw and clarity are crucial.
Precision optics and high-resolution projection technology give the MAC Ultra superior image quality and beam control. It features a 160 mm front lens and a zoom range from 8° to 54°, supporting detailed focus adjustments and consistent intensity. The advanced effects package includes CMY color mixing, variable CTO, dual rotating gobo wheels, a full-function animation wheel, iris, prism, and motorized focus, all complemented by Martin’s innovative Extended Framing System. With framing blades that offer ±30° angle control across the beam and ±83° module rotation, designers gain unprecedented shaping flexibility.
Designed to perform in both demanding live environments and sensitive broadcast or theatrical applications, the MAC Ultra Performance combines raw power with extremely low noise levels thanks to its intelligent cooling system. The fixture allows for user-adjustable balance between output and acoustic performance, ensuring it can meet the most exacting production standards across diverse settings.
The MAC Ultra's control capabilities are as robust as its output. It supports DMX-512, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin’s P3 video protocol, all managed through a backlit LCD interface with multiple addressing and configuration options. With up to 58 DMX control channels and 16-bit precision on critical parameters, the fixture offers smooth control over dimming, movement, color, framing, zoom, focus, and effects. Integrated ethernet ports provide fail-safe networking for P3 and other streaming data, while the onboard P3 support allows seamless video mapping of color and intensity across ten fixture segments.
From a structural standpoint, the MAC Ultra is built for durability and ease of installation. It weighs 44 kg and features multiple rigging options with ¼-turn omega brackets and universal orientation. The housing is constructed from flame-retardant thermoplastic and rated IP20 for indoor use, and its rugged design is matched with careful thermal management, enabling safe operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C.
Photometrically, the fixture supports various color correction scenarios with high CRI performance depending on filters and settings. Its LED source offers a minimum lifetime of over 50,000 hours, reducing maintenance needs and maximizing long-term value. A full suite of programmable effects—ranging from strobing and pulsing to rotating gobos and prisms—enables creative versatility, while motorized zoom and focus, auto-tracking, and gobo shake functions provide professional-grade performance for high-end lighting designs.
With built-in USB, DMX, and Ethernet connections, the MAC Ultra also allows for convenient firmware updates and remote configuration. It operates on 200–240 V AC power and consumes a maximum of 1450 W, with intelligent power management to reduce consumption during idle and hibernation states. Whether lighting a stadium concert, a theatrical production, or a live broadcast set, the MAC Ultra Performance stands as one of the brightest, most complete and forward-thinking moving heads in the industry.
