Product Description

The Martin MAC Encore Performance Cold White in EPS packaging offers the full capabilities of the MAC Encore Performance platform with a cold white LED source optimized for higher color temperature applications. Cold white LED sources provide crisp, clinical illumination that excels in contemporary architectural, broadcast, and live event environments where daylight-balanced light is preferred. The MAC Encore Performance's precision optical system supports both hard and soft edge beam profiles, providing exceptional versatility in a single fixture type. CMY color mixing enables smooth transitions from saturated colors through clean cold white, giving operators wide creative latitude. Flicker-free electronic dimming ensures full broadcast and film production safety, eliminating the risk of dimming artifacts in camera-sensitive environments. Fast, quiet pan and tilt mechanics allow demanding movement sequences at any point during a live production. The fixture supports DMX512, RDM, and Art-Net protocols for complete integration with professional lighting control infrastructure. EPS packaging provides protective shipping and an economical storage solution. The cold white configuration is specifically valued in productions that use predominantly LED and daylight-balanced sources, where color temperature consistency across the rig is critical for broadcast quality and visual coherence. This fixture has been relied upon by leading touring companies and broadcast facilities for years as a cornerstone of their moving head inventory.
