Frequently asked questions
Which is better for outdoor use?

The MAC Aura PXL excels at color mixing with its RGBW system across 19 main pixels and 141 backlight pixels, delivering saturated colors and pastels. The Exterior Projection 500 uses an 8-color wheel and rotating gobos for image and gobo effects rather than smooth color mixing.
