Frequently asked questions
What are these products used for?
The MAC Ultra Performance is a stage lighting fixture that projects beams and effects onto scenery or performers. The P3-300 is a control console that processes video content and manages multiple LED fixtures and lighting devices from one interface.
Can I use both together?
Yes. The P3-300 can control MAC moving heads via DMX over Art-Net or sACN, so the MAC Ultra Performance could be part of a larger system orchestrated by the P3-300.
Which is better for a small live music venue?
For small venues, the MAC Ultra Performance alone provides flexible, high-quality lighting effects. If you also need video walls or are controlling many fixtures, the P3-300 becomes valuable, but it requires additional fixtures to justify the investment.
What about noise and heat?
The MAC Ultra Performance is noted for astoundingly low noise levels despite its 1150 W LED engine. The P3-300 is a rackmount processor with typical equipment cooling; specific thermal output is not detailed in the provided specs.
