6 June 2006 - Companion washlight to the MAC 700 Profile continues MAC tradition

The 700 Wash is a powerful 700-watt Fresnel luminaire with a remarkable light output. It features a full CMY color mixing system and variable CTC plus 8 position color wheel. Other useful features include a wide range variable zoom, continuous and indexable beam shaper, and extremely smooth and fast dimmer shutter system.

The MAC 700 Wash houses a superior and highly efficient optical system powered by a 700 watt short-arc discharge lamp.

A variable zoom is capable of a very wide range of beam angles from a punchy 12.5° beam to a wide 66° flood, and unlike step zoom systems that offer only two or three different beam angles, the MAC 700 Wash’s fully motorized zoom can achieve any beam angle within its range. Through a new and innovative motor control system, the 0-100% dimming performance of the MAC 700 Wash is not only fast but also seamless for velvety smooth fades.

A full CMY color mixing system not only offers the broadest spectrum of color available it also works seamlessly with that of the MAC 700 Profile for precise color matching. In addition, an 8 position color wheel plus UV transmitter filter covers those hard to achieve shades. All colors on the wheel are replaceable, enabling designers to customize the fixture to their own requirements. A variable CTC system provides flexibility in color temperature, adding another dimension to the CMY system by giving warmer shades, useful when working alongside tungsten fixtures for example.

A rotating and indexable beam shaper allows for alignment of the beam for easier coverage of scenery and set pieces. The adjusted beam provides for more precise illumination.

The MAC 700 Wash is compact for such a powerful, feature rich fixture. It is housed in the same road-tested modular design as the MAC 700 Profile, a design that is both highly durable and highly serviceable.

The MAC 700 Wash is only available with electronic ballast. This gives the added advantages of flicker free operation, lower weight, extended lamp life and a power saving mode. A hot lamp restrike means there is no need to wait for the lamp to cool before re-striking.

Pan movement is 540° by 246° of tilt and speed is exceptional for a mid-sized fixture.

The MAC 700 Wash is naturally industry standard DMX-512 controllable It is also RDM (Remote Device Management) ready for easier configuration, monitoring and management of DMX based systems.
