Martin MAC Viper Performance

Overview

The MAC Viper Performance is a full-feature framing fixture that delivers an output and performance never before seen in a fixture this size or one using so little power.

Unlike other fixtures in this class, the MAC Viper Performance does not forgo an iris or animation wheel – they are both included along with a framing system and rotating gobos.

The framing system consists of four shutter blades that can all individually adjust +/- 30° while the entire system can rotate +/- 55°. The exacting system can repeat each cue with great precision. When fully focused, gobos can be nicely framed with a soft edge. The MAC Viper Performance has adopted the compact form, impressive speed, superior light quality and beautiful colours that the MAC Viper Profile is renowned for and uses the same 1000-watt lamp.

26000 Lumens – Excellent light quality with a very flat and uniform field and 6000K colour temperature
1:4 zoom – Fast zoom with auto-linked focus
Four shutter blades individually adjust +/- 30° while the entire system rotates +/- 55°. Repeats cues with great precision
