Unlike other fixtures in its class, the MAC TW1 is an "all in one" solution, meaning one version of the fixture can travel the world without the need for inconvenient adjustments or the expense of having multiple models on hand. The MAC TW1 can be fitted with a 230V, 240V or 115V lamp, as well as a new breed of 80V lamp that offers a far superior output to traditional mains voltage lamps.
The MAC TW1's incandescent source is perfect for highlighting skin tones or textiles, making it the preferred source for television, theatre, film sets, fashion shows and corporate events. The lower color temperature brings the warmth of traditional theatre and TV looks up to date. The MAC TW1 has truly beautiful soft beam edges and an unquestionable uniformity in light and color output. This gives an even distribution across a projected surface and allows seamless overlaps of beams for large stage and set areas.
A twin lens zoom offers lighting designers the flexibility of working with different beam angles and precision in colour and light placement on the stage or set. The Martin zoom system ensures total flexibility with the beam angle without compromising the quality of the light itself. The standard lens gives a variable range of 19°-40° while a wide angle lens is also available (90°-110°). A narrow angle lens will soon be made available as well.
The MAC TW1 features the broadest, most evenly distributed spectrum of colours in one self-contained color mixing system meaning there is no need for complicated module changes or doubling up fixtures on the truss in order to achieve a total range of colours. The TW1's CMY colour mixing system delivers a multitude of vibrant colours - from fully saturated deep hues to soft pastels - and has the ability to accurately emulate colour temperature. The colour system ensures a logical color transition from any one colour to another without distracting detours or flashes of unwanted colours.
Prepared for use with external dimming systems, the TW1 has also been fitted with an internal dimmer. This is advantageous for smaller productions not requiring external dimmer racks or off-stage fixture placement where dimmer cables can be cumbersome.A mechanical shutter offers full dimming without affecting the colour temperature - important in television and studio applications. The mechanical shutter also gives you instant snaps to full, or zero, and variable-speed strobe effects.
The MAC TW1 is also exceptionally quiet at less than 40dBA, say Martin Professional. This is achievable through its cold-light reflector technology and a new, patent pending silent cooling design, which traps the heat and silently dissipates it away from the back of the fixture. A precise pan and tilt system (540°/245°) gives measured and accurate movement - no matter how fast or slow, while Martin's yoke technology ensures the quietest movement in its class. The TW1 operates in three modes: Normal, Studio and Silent. These control the speed of effects and mechanical movements for an even smoother, quieter performance.
The MAC TW1 has been engineered to ensure that serviceability and day-to-day adjustments are straightforward and fast. The TW1 comes out of the box as a complete operating fixture. A full auto-sensing switch-mode power supply means one single fixture can be used all over the world without the need for external power boxes and cables that increase transport costs and hassles.
