Martin Professional will launch a new version of its successful MAC 2000 Profile at PLASA 2001. The new version, the MAC 2000 Performance, is a 1200W profile framing spot featuring a four-blade framing system for precise stage lighting and gobo animation wheel for extraordinary theatrical effects, the ideal illumination framing tool for theaters and special effect applications. Useful for accurate illumination coverage of stage props, scenery or any object, the precision adjusting, fully automated beam framing system transforms the elliptical beam into a multitude of different shapes. Fine adjustment of the shape is within millimeters thus eliminating any excess back light and perfect for stage shows of all types.

Also new to the MAC 2000 Performance is a gobo animation wheel useful for special theatrical effects such as fire, sky and water imaging. The entire wheel can be swiveled for flexible positional control. Like the successful MAC 2000 Profile, the MAC 2000 Performance incorporates an extraordinary 10-lens optical system that produces an extremely bright and sharp beam with high definition contrast and consistent beam field characteristics. The MAC 2000 Performance houses a CMY color-mixing system that offers a nearly unlimited variety of color choices plus an innovative color temperature correction system for effective CTC flexibility, making it possible to gradually and smoothly increase or decrease color temperature.

Other features include a gobo wheel with five indexable rotating gobos, additional effects wheel with rotating beamshaper and 3-facet prism, and a variable frost capable of smooth gobo fade in/out possibilities. The MAC 2000 Performance also incorporates a fast and precisely moving focus and zoom system. Variable and smooth dimming, as well as extremely fast strobe effects are possible via a combined dimmer/shutter. Furthermore, the MAC 2000 Performance operates at a very low noise level, a must for the strict standards of TV studios and theaters.
