Frequently asked questions
Can these products work together in a production?
Yes. The MAC Ultra is a moving head light and the Glaciator is a fog machine—they serve completely different functions and are commonly used in combination. The MAC provides illumination and effects while the Glaciator creates atmospheric fog layers.
Which is better for touring productions?
Both are tour-friendly but for different reasons. The MAC Ultra has a compact design with strategically positioned connectors. The Glaciator eliminates touring logistics by requiring no external gas tanks, making setup simpler across multiple venues.
What is the main operational difference between these fixtures?
The MAC Ultra is an intelligent moving light requiring DMX control to position, change colors, and trigger effects. The Glaciator is a straightforward fog generator operated via LCD display, remote control, or DMX, with continuous output rather than dynamic movement.
Which is quieter during operation?
The Glaciator at 62.76 dBa operates quieter for intimate theater. The MAC Ultra maintains low noise levels for its brightness class but is designed primarily for light output rather than silent operation.
