USA - Harman Professional Solutions has announced a major milestone in the success of the Martin MAC Viper XIP, celebrating the 10,000th fixture manufactured in its first 10 months. To mark the achievement, Martin has produced a one-of-a-kind MAC Viper XIP in the brand’s yellow colour, built as a commemorative piece honouring the milestone and the people behind its design and production.
With shipping that began in June 2024, the MAC Viper XIP quickly became a go-to solution for event production companies supporting music festivals, concert tours, television programmes, as well as installations in performing arts centres and theatres worldwide.
The 10,000th unit represents more than a sales milestone. It’s a testament to the engineering, design, and production excellence that is poised to define the moving head market for the next decade, just as the original Martin MAC Viper did when it launched in 2012. Built with precision and care by the team at Harman’s newly opened facility in Pécs, Hungary, the commemorative fixture also celebrates the more than 300 Harman employees responsible for its build quality and reliability.
“Reaching 10,000 MAC Viper XIP units in 10 months is a reflection of the trust lighting professionals have in the Martin name,” said Henrik Kristensen, product manager of stage lighting, Martin Professional. “We’re proud that Martin products are built in our Pécs plant, a facility of low carbon emissions and advanced manufacturing. Most of all, it honours the people at Harman who build these and other Martin products with pride every day.”
