Description
Martin ERA 600 Profile Compact Moving Head CMY Color Mixing Light
The Martin ERA 600 Profile is a compact, road-ready LED profile fixture built for touring musicians, live events, houses of worship, and broadcast production. Its lightweight, modular construction makes rigging and maintenance straightforward, while the 550 W LED engine delivers exceptional output without the maintenance burden of traditional lamp-based fixtures.
Light Output & Optical Performance
The 6,500 K LED light source produces 19,000 lumens with crisp optics and a flat field, ensuring sharp image projection across the 6° to 45° zoom range. Electronic dimming and strobing provide instant intensity control down to zero percent, maintaining consistent output throughout the entire zoom spectrum.
Color Mixing & Effects Capability
The fixture features CMY color mixing with linear CTO for precise color temperature correction from daylight to tungsten, expanding the palette from light pastels to rich, saturated primaries. The dual rotating gobo wheels plus static wheel load 14 rotating/indexing glass gobos drawn from Martin's renowned MAC range, complemented by 8 static gobos, a 7-slot color wheel, two interchangeable prisms, heavy frost, and an animation wheel with bi-directional continuous rotation for unlimited design potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the CMY color mixing system and CTO control do?
CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) mixing lets you dial any hue with precision, and the variable color temperature control (CTO) shifts the light from daylight (6,500 K) to tungsten tones for on-the-fly color correction. This expands your palette from subtle pastels to vivid primaries without sacrificing color accuracy.
How many effects does this fixture carry, and can I swap them out quickly?
The ERA 600 includes 14 rotating/indexing gobos, 8 static gobos, a 7-slot color wheel, dual 4-facet and linear prisms, frost filter, and a continuous-rotation animation wheel. The modular design lets you swap effect modules in under one minute with no tools.
What is the zoom range and light output?
The fixture zooms from 6° to 45° (1:7.5 ratio) with fast, accurate tracking and delivers 19,000 lumens from its 550 W, 6,500 K LED engine, maintaining consistent output across the entire zoom spectrum.
How does the LED engine compare to traditional lamp-based moving heads?
The 550 W LED source eliminates lamp replacement and cooling cycles, runs for a minimum 20,000 hours, and consumes less power while producing no heat buildup. You get tour-grade reliability and lower operating costs without sacrificing brightness or optical quality.
What control and power specifications do I need to know?
The fixture uses DMX512/RDM control via 5-pin locking XLR (35 DMX channels), runs on standard 100–240 V AC (50/60 Hz), and draws approximately 778 W typical consumption.
