The Soft Lens accessory allows the MAC Quantum wash to create a more compact and dense beam. By utilising the Soft Lens accessory, the synthetic LED look of the lens is reduced for a more Fresnel-style appearance of the front lens.
"With the Soft Lens accessory, the MAC Quantum Wash is the most effective LED washlight available for professional theatrical applications," commented Markus Klüsener, product manager for Stage Lighting, Martin Professional. "The lens creates a more even colour wash that enhances the audience experience at any theatre production."
The lens also eliminates potential light artefacts that can appear on nearby surfaces at a 90° angle from the fixture's aperture. Comprised of a ring and diffuser foil, the lens is a compact unit that can be easily mounted on the MAC Quantum Wash and can remain mounted on the fixture during transport in the original flightcase.
The Soft Lens is available for pre-order on Martin's eShop (my.martin.com) and will begin shipping in June 2014.
