Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP in EPS vs Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP in SiP
Both are the same Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP fixture in premium tier for professional touring and installation work, but they differ in their LED beam engine architecture: the EPS uses a high-intensity beam engine with independent RGB aura, while the SiP uses 37 individually addressable LEDs for pixel-level control. Choose EPS for texture-rich programming with dimensional color separation, or SiP for pixel-addressable beam effects and maximum flexibility.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main technical difference between these two models?
The EPS features a high-intensity beam engine architecture, while the SiP uses 37 individually addressable LEDs at 40W each. Both deliver 27,000 lumens and 830W beam power, but the SiP's addressable LEDs allow pixel-level control for more granular effects programming.
Are both fixtures suitable for touring and festivals?
Yes, both models are professional-grade fixtures designed specifically for touring, festival production, and permanent installations. Both include IP54 weatherproof rating, 50,000-hour LED lifetime, and multi-protocol support.
Which fixture is better for texture and dimensional color work?
The EPS is optimized for texture-rich programming with its dual-engine design providing dimensional color separation. The SiP emphasizes pixel-level control across its individually addressable beam LEDs, which suits different creative approaches.
Do these fixtures require external wireless modules?
The SiP includes a Universal Connect Module slot for optional third-party wireless modules. The EPS specifications do not mention wireless module compatibility, suggesting it uses traditional wired control protocols only.
