Other new lighting, sound and fog effects on display will be the MAC 700 Profile; Stage Cyclo; MAC 250 Wash; updated versions of Maxxyz and the Maxedia Digital Media Composer; new Mania series lights; a new fan and multi-headed fog system from Jem smoke, plus a new subwoofer from Mach speakers.
The new MAC TW1 is a 1200W tungsten wash fixture that "brings to the stage features and patent pending technology to equip the lighting designer with the broadest possibility of effects, colours and design". A twin lens zoom system, full CMY colour mixing and choice of internal or external electronic dimming are contained in a sturdy magnesium structure that allows the fast and silent convection of heat away from the back of the fixture so the stage or set remains cool and quiet.
Maxxyz PC is the new computer based version of the popular Maxxyz console - an off-line and online editing tool that gives full Maxxyz functionality from a PC or laptop. It can be used for off-line programming and can be linked to any DMX interface device for direct control of fixtures.
