No other company offers such a comprehensive range of dynamic lighting and visuals for the stage and studio. From the latest in LED-based lights and video displays to lighting control systems, media servers and Martin smoke machines, Martin Professional is setting new standards in stage lighting performance.

EC-20™: The EC series represents the new generation of indoor and outdoor LED screens, combining low weight and creativity with state-of-the-art image quality. It combines the image quality and precision of conventional high resolution screens (20 mm pixel pitch) with the creativity and low weight of mesh type screens. Featuring outstanding image quality and semi-transparency, the EC-20 is designed for rapid setup and teardown in combination with maximum flexibility and easy serviceability.

MAC III Performance™: The MAC III Performance is a high-output profile moving head with a new interleaved framing system with full crossover of each blade and industry-first continuous rotation for new projection, framing and effects possibilities. It is available as a stand-alone fixture or as an easy-to-swap module that installs in minutes on any MAC III Profile, eliminating the need to invest in two separate fixtures.

MAC 101™: Ideal for easy-to-produce yet high-impact looks, the ultra-compact MAC 101 moving head comes with a low price tag for revolutionary stage, dance floor and decorative lighting designs. Remarkably small at just 3.7 kg and simple to use, this versatile wash light fits anywhere and features rapid movement, calibrated colors, and a very bright beam for plenty of bang on a tight budget.

MAC 101™ white light variants: The MAC 101 is available in three white light versions that expand its use to applications where high quality, pure white light is needed. The new variants incorporate cold and/or warm LEDs instead of RGB for a better white light quality and greater output.

MAC 350 Entour™: The MAC 350 Entour is a cutting-edge LED profile fixture that surpasses what has previously been possible in terms of brightness (8000 lumens), efficiency and compactness in a hard edge LED fixture. Featuring proprietary LED technology, it is the market’s first real alternative to traditional HID-based profile fixtures. In a package smaller and lighter than market leading 250 watt fixtures, the MAC 350 Entour exceeds even 300 watt fixtures in brightness.

MAC 401 CT Zoom™: The MAC 401 CT Zoom is an exceptionally versatile color temperature variable white light source wash luminaire with fast zoom. It not only delivers more light than traditional RGB LED fixtures, but projects a much better light quality, making it excellent for highlighting skin tones or textiles. Highly efficient, power consumption is much lower than traditional tungsten washlights. It is also available as a module that easily fits onto either side of any MAC 401 Dual, creating a white light or color plus white light source.

Stagebar 2™: With twice the lumen output and 10 times the intensity of the Stagebar 54™, the Stagebar 2 is an extremely capable LED pixel bar and wash luminaire. A new lens design provides a narrower field of light for better beam control and greater light intensity. A choice of lens options provides designers with beam angle flexibility and includes an opal diffuser for scenic on-camera looks.

M1™: The M1 is the next generation lighting controller from Martin Professional. With the full power of a larger desk and the agility of a smaller one, the M1 is a state-of-the-art, all-in-one lighting desk. Following the philosophy and simplicity of our current controller platform, the Martin M1 sets a new standard as the most powerful and affordable full-featured lighting console on the market.

P3-200 System Controller™: The P3-200 System Controller is a new addition to Martin’s P3 System Controller family for LED screens. The P3-200 combines all the celebrated features of the P3-100 yet adds SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI input capability for optimized use in TV/Broadcast environments. It retains all the advantages of the P3-100 System Controller like built-in scaling and de-interlacing, multiple video protocol and resolution support, direct DMX control of brightness, color, pixelmapping and more.

Maxedia 4.4™: This latest software release for Martin’s user-friendly Maxedia media server brings the Maxedia feature set to a higher level. Aligning simplicity of use with complexity of execution, Maxedia 4.4 shows how the most powerful media server on the market can also be a user-friendly one.

DMX 5.3 Splitter™ / RDM 5.5 Splitter™: These new Martin Splitters are the most economical devices available to ensure proper data transmission levels and economically protect controllers and DMX/RDM devices. Both Splitters are useful in maintaining proper data levels over long runs or several runs of DMX signal with the RDM 5.5 Splitter also capable of effectively handling RDM data.
