Frequently asked questions
Are these products meant to work together?
Yes, they can. The P3-175 is a control processor that can command the MAC ENCORE WASH and other fixtures over DMX or Art-Net. However, the MAC ENCORE WASH is a complete standalone light that does not require the P3-175 to operate.
What skill level do I need for each product?
Both are professional-grade. The MAC ENCORE WASH is a fixture designed for touring and live crews with lighting experience. The P3-175 is a system controller that requires integration and programming experience with lighting control software and protocols.
Which is better for a small theater or touring band?
For a small theater or touring band with just a few fixtures, the MAC ENCORE WASH alone is sufficient and more cost-effective. If you plan to control multiple fixtures across a complex rig, add a P3-175 or another DMX controller.
Does the P3-175 include any lights or fixtures?
No. The P3-175 is a control processor only. It manages and controls lighting fixtures like the MAC ENCORE WASH but does not produce light itself.
