Frequently asked questions
What is the key difference in beam control between these two fixtures?
The MAC Viper Wash DX includes an internal barndoor system with indexing shutters and a fast iris for precise framing and edge control, functioning as an automated Fresnel replacement. The standard MAC Viper Wash relies on motorized zoom and mechanical dimmer/shutter for control, optimized for uniform wash coverage without shaping tools.
How do the color temperature capabilities differ?
The MAC Viper Wash DX offers variable CCT from 6000K down to 3200K, giving continuous color temperature adjustment. The standard MAC Viper Wash includes linear CTO control for daylight-to-tungsten shifts but operates at a fixed 6000K base.
Which is better for touring productions?
The standard MAC Viper Wash is better for touring due to its smaller physical footprint (473mm wide), lighter operational overhead, and focus on wash coverage. The DX, with its barndoors and precision shaping, suits permanent installations and theater where articulate beam control matters more than portability.
Do both fixtures deliver the same output?
Yes, both deliver 33,000 lumens at 6000K with a 1000-watt lamp and full CMY color mixing. The difference is in beam shaping and control architecture, not raw output.
