The MAC TW1 is a powerful, silent tungsten wash light with a clean, even, soft-edged beam, a motorized zoom, rich CMY color mixing and can be run from the built-in dimmer or from an external dimmer. Read more Tungsten Wash Just like sunlight, an incandescent source is magnificent for highlighting skin tones or textiles, making it the preferred light source for television, theatre, film sets, fashion shows and corporate events. The MAC TW1 brings to the stage and studio all the optical brilliance and feature quality of the MAC range with the warmth of tungsten halogen. Full spectrum CMY color mixing The MAC TW1’s color mixing system delivers a multitude of vibrant colors from fully saturated deep hues to soft pastels. The system ensures a logical transition from any one color to another without distracting detours or unwanted colors. The TW1 gives you the broadest, most evenly distributed spectrum of colors in one self-contained color mixing system. This means there is no need for complicated module changes or doubling up fixtures on the truss in order to achieve a total range of colors. Dynamic zoom A twin lens zoom offers lighting designers the flexibility of working with different beam angles. The Martin zoom system ensures total control of the beam angle without compromising the quality of the light itself. The standard lens gives a variable field angle range of 19°-40° while an optional wide angle lens gives 90°-110°. A narrow angle lens will also be available. Internal and external dimming Prepared for use with external dimming systems, the TW1 has also been fitted with an internal IGBT dimmer. This is advantageous for smaller productions not requiring external dimmer racks or off-stage fixture placement where dimmer cables can be cumbersome. When using external dimming, no power can reach the fixture's lamp before its safety features are activated. Mechanical dimming In addition to the electronic dimming options, the MAC TW1 is also fitted with a mechanical dimmer. As this mechanical dimmer is independent of the lamp itself, the color temperature remains in balance throughout the dimming process. The mechanical shutter also gives you instant snaps to full or zero, and variable speed strobe effects. The science of silence Despite being the brightest 1200 W fixture in its class, the MAC TW1 is also exceptionally quiet. Less than 40dBA. This is achievable through its cold-light reflector technology and a very low-noise patented convection-assisted cooling system that traps the heat and silently dissipates it away from the back of the fixture. The edge of beauty 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 overlapping of beams for large stage and set areas. Heat management Convection cooling through a magnesium shell ensures the fixture has an extremely quiet operating noise level while also directing heat away from the stage or set. The TW1 operates in three modes: Normal, Studio and Silent. Selectable from your lighting desk, these control the speed of effects and mechanical movements for an even smoother, quieter performance. A convection cooling only setting is also available from the lighting desk. Accurate and quiet moveme
