Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with each other?
No. The Heavy Frost Assembly is designed exclusively for Martin MAC Encore Performance moving heads, while the Spigot Adapter works only with VDO Sceptron and VDO Fatron fixtures. They serve different fixture lines and cannot be used together.
What type of buyer needs each product?
The Heavy Frost Assembly suits venues and touring productions operating MAC Encore Performance fixtures that require variable frost intensity control during live events and studio work. The Spigot Adapter suits users of VDO Sceptron or Fatron fixtures who need to integrate them into existing stage rigging systems with standard floorplates.
Can I install these products myself?
The Heavy Frost Assembly is an interchangeable optical component with quick-change design meant for professional lighting technicians to swap on site. The Spigot Adapter slides into the back-profile mount and locks with screws, making it a straightforward installation for anyone familiar with stage rigging.
What happens if I already have a standard frost assembly on my MAC Encore?
The Heavy Frost Assembly delivers enhanced diffusion compared to standard frost options and is quick-change compatible, so you can swap it in without replacing the entire fixture when you need heavier diffusion control.
