Product Overview
The MAC Aura XIP is a premium moving head wash light that introduces a revolutionary aura filament effect and offers full pixel control with video mapping capabilities for the beam, aura, or both. It is Martin's latest addition to the MAC Aura family and sets a new standard by being the first fixture in its class to be rated for outdoor use without compromising on weight, size, or aesthetics, thanks to Martin's innovative outdoor-capable design. With exceptional optical quality, it delivers an even wash field, soft edges, minimal stray light, and high-intensity mid-air beams, all controlled by an improved light engine. The MAC Aura XIP is ideal for a wide range of productions, from concerts and tours to theater, television, and corporate events. Its smart outdoor design makes it suitable for festivals and outdoor events, while its lightweight and quiet operation cater to various indoor settings. Lighting designers will appreciate the versatility of the aura filament effect, narrower beam, and improved wash quality, while rental customers will value its versatility, optical enhancements, and sealed design, making it suitable for various environments with reduced maintenance requirements.
