Frequently asked questions
Which fixture is better for outdoor festival production?
The MAC Aura Raven XIP is purpose-built for outdoor use with its IP54 weatherproof XIP smart technology and 27,000 lumens of output to penetrate daylight. The Mac Encore Performance lacks weatherproof certification and is designed primarily for indoor touring and venue installations.
What is the main difference in how these fixtures create patterns and effects?
The Mac Encore Performance uses traditional gobo wheels, color wheels, and animation wheels for pattern selection, while the MAC Aura Raven XIP uses 37 individually addressable LEDs for pixel-level color mixing and effects, enabling more complex and dynamic visual control.
Which one is lighter and more portable for touring?
The Mac Encore Performance is explicitly designed as a compact, lightweight moving head for touring where space and weight constraints matter. The MAC Aura Raven XIP, while professional-grade, is heavier due to its dual 830W LED engine and larger 343 mm front lens assembly.
What color temperature does each fixture produce?
The Mac Encore Performance produces a crisp 6000K daylight-balanced cool white output for color-accurate, neutral rendering. The MAC Aura Raven XIP uses RGBL (red, green, blue, lime) addressable LEDs for rich color mixing across the visible spectrum, offering broader color flexibility but not a fixed daylight preset.
