Martin MAC Aura XB White – Compact LED Wash Moving Head

Product Overview

The Martin MAC Aura XB is an extra-bright compact LED wash moving head that pairs a 19 x 15W RGBW beam with Martin's signature multi-LED Aura backlight effect. Delivering 6,000 lumens of fully premixed RGBW wash plus a wide 9° to 59° zoom, this compact wash moving head suits conference rooms, houses of worship, theaters, and touring rigs. Full-gamut color calibration and variable color temperature give integrators accurate, repeatable color across large fixture counts.

Product Description

The MAC Aura XB builds on the hugely popular MAC Aura platform with higher output and a refined feature set. Its 19 x 15W RGBW beam produces 6,000 lumens of bright, fully premixed wash, while a separate array of 30 x 0.3W RGB LEDs creates the distinctive Aura backlight halo behind the front lens. RGBW color mixing covers vivid saturated colors, soft pastels, and clean white tones, and Beam color temperature is adjustable from 2,500 K to 10,000 K. A precise, silent 9.0° to 59.1° zoom moves quickly between tight aerial beams and broad even washes. Full-gamut color calibration of both Beam and Aura ensures consistent color from fixture to fixture, which matters when deploying large quantities across a stage or installation. The compact 302 x 332 x 163 mm head weighs only 6.5 kg, making it easy to rig in tight positions and in volume, and low-noise pan, tilt, and effects operation suit quiet environments. Control is over DMX with RDM via a galvanic-isolated RS-485 transceiver in 14- or 25-channel modes, with firmware updates handled over DMX using Martin Companion for straightforward integration into commercial AV and lighting networks. This unit ships in a white finish to blend into light-colored trusses, ceilings, and architectural environments.
