The Aura's ground-breaking optical system combines two illumination systems in one luminaire - multicolour beam LEDs and a backlight LED lens array - to produce an all new visual palette that "takes the synthetic look out of LED wash lights for truly unique lighting design possibilities," says the company.
Use the fixture as a powerful single-lens wash or employ a separate set of individually controllable multicolour LEDs for "radical to subtle eye-candy looks". For the ultimate in easy-to-produce visuals, use the Aura's built-in FX engine to create extraordinary effects fast.
The MAC Aura houses an unrivalled 11-58o zoom for beam effects with great definition. The zoom is capable of angling wide or extremely tight for high intensity beam looks. Efficiency and a uniform field of light is maintained throughout the zoom range.
"The MAC Aura delivers almost 4000 lumens of output in an compact 5.6 kg (12.3 lb) package for a performance to size ratio that you don't find in comparable fixtures. And the Aura moves at a speed and precision that was once only associated with moving mirrors," says Martin.
The MAC Aura is a versatile wash light and features superior colour mixing with a broad range of shades from two independent colour systems. Colour shades mix completely uniform from vibrant saturated colours across beautiful pastels to authentic warm and cool shades of white.
Thanks to an excellent cooling system and high optical efficiency, the MAC Aura is extremely quiet for noise sensitive environments like TV and theatre.
Super low power consumption (1 amp) allows multiple fixtures to be daisy-chained on the same power line for an easier, faster and less expensive installation.
