Frequently asked questions
Are these two products compatible with each other?
No. The gobo holder module is designed for the Exterior Projection Pro Compact fixture and accepts standard glass gobos. The soft lens attaches to the MAC Aura PXL fixture. They serve entirely different fixtures and purposes.
Which is better for stage lighting design?
The MAC Aura PXL SoftLens is purpose-built for stage lighting and wash work. The gobo holder is designed for projection systems and is not a stage lighting tool.
What skill level do I need for each?
The gobo holder is listed for professional operators. The soft lens accommodates intermediate to advanced users and professionals, making it more accessible for those building experience.
Do these require special maintenance or consumables?
The gobo holder works with standard borosilicate glass gobos (consumable/replaceable). The soft lens is a durable optical attachment with no consumables, though gobos used in the EP Pro Compact will wear over time with thermal cycling.
