Martin ERA 600 Performance WHITE – High-Output Moving Head LED Wash

Product Overview

The Martin ERA 600 Performance WHITE is the white-finish version of Martin's bright, compact 550 watt LED moving head, built for touring, concert, and rental production. It pairs a 19,000-lumen white LED engine with full CMY color mixing, a full-curtain framing system, and dual rotating gobo wheels in a fixture that blends into light-colored trusses and scenic environments. This high-output moving head fixture delivers feature-loaded performance for AV integrators and rental inventories that prefer a white chassis.

Product Description

The ERA 600 Performance WHITE is functionally identical to the standard ERA 600 Performance, differing only in its white housing finish, and consolidates multiple fixture roles into one rig position. At its core is a 550 watt white LED engine producing a sharp, flat-field image with 19,000 lumens of fixture output. A 1:8 zoom covering 6° to 45° lets the fixture work close-in or on large trim heights. Full CMY color mixing, a seven-position color wheel, and linear CTO deliver pastels through saturated primaries with variable color temperature control from 2,700 K to 6,500 K. A full-curtain framing system places four individually controllable blades on a ±60° rotating module for precise shuttering and shape generation. Seven rotating glass gobos, eight static gobos, two rotating prisms, and a heavy frost provide an extensive effects palette. Fully electronic dimming and shutter give fast strobing, instant blackout, and smooth fades held flat to zero percent. At 32.3 kg with a modular design, effects modules swap in under a minute to minimize service downtime. The fixture speaks USITT DMX512 over 41 channels with ANSI/ESTA E1.20 RDM compliance for straightforward integration, and its white finish is ideal where fixtures should disappear into light-colored ceilings and trusses.
