Martin MAC Viper XIP White – IP65 Outdoor Moving Head

Product Overview

The Martin MAC Viper XIP is a high-output IP65 outdoor moving head built for rental, touring, and permanent installations where fixtures are exposed to rain, dust, and temperature swings. A 760 W white LED engine produces 28,000 lumens through a 1:9 zoom, giving system designers framing-grade output without the size, noise, and weight penalties typical of weatherproof moving heads. For integrators specifying a weatherproof moving head light for stages, houses of worship, or architectural entertainment spaces, the Viper XIP delivers full-feature control with year-round environmental protection.

Product Description

The MAC Viper XIP brings the performance of a full-size profile moving head into an IP65-rated chassis rated for continuous outdoor use. Its custom Martin engine of 55 x 22 W white LEDs is tuned to 5800 K and rated beyond 50,000 hours, providing consistent color temperature across long production runs and fixture inventories. The 5.7°–54.0° zoom covers tight aerial beams through broad washes from a single high-output LED moving head, reducing the number of fixture types an integrator must specify and stock.

Martin's XIP water and dust ingress system seals the optics and electronics so the fixture can stay rigged through rain, snow, and dust without external domes or covers. Control is handled over standard 5-pin DMX with RDM, and an optional plug-in Wireless DMX module simplifies cabling for temporary rigs and hard-to-reach installation positions. At 37 kg the fixture is engineered to be lighter than comparable IP65 framing fixtures, easing rigging loads in touring trusses and fixed architectural mounts. This unit is the white-finish version and ships in carton packaging.
