Martin ELP CL Full Color LED Ellipsoidal Profile Body Only
Description
Martin ELP CL Full Color LED Ellipsoidal Profile Body Only
The Martin ELP CL is a professional-grade LED ellipsoidal fixture built for touring productions, theater rigs, and stage installations demanding reliable color mixing and precise beam control. This body-only unit houses a robust RGBAL Luxeon Rebel LED engine delivering 6,900 lumens in High Output mode with full-spectrum color mixing. The die-cast aluminum housing is engineered for the rigors of live performance, where output consistency and color accuracy drive every cue.
Optical Performance & Stage Output
The ELP CL produces 6,900 lumens at 85 CRI in High Output mode or 5,900 lumens at 90 CRI in High Quality mode, with a daylight color temperature of 6,000K from the open white position. The fixture accepts Martin lens tubes in 19°, 26°, 36°, and 50° beam angles, and is compatible with third-party lens tubes, giving operators the flexibility to dial in the right throw distance and beam spread for any venue or rig configuration.
Control, Connectivity & Live Operation
Run the ELP CL in DMX mode (1, 10, or 17 channels with USITT DMX512-A and ANSI/ESTA E1.20 compliance) or standalone mode, with 5-pin DMX/RDM and Neutrik True1 In/Thru connectors for seamless integration into any touring console setup. Gear-driven Fine Focus and Fast Focus mechanisms keep you in control of beam shape without chasing external adjustments on stage, while 16-bit dimming with four selectable curves and flicker-free operation (600–2400 Hz PWM) ensures smooth, clean intensity transitions throughout your show.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'body only' mean, and what else do I need to purchase?
This is the fixture head and housing without lens tube or bracket included. You will need to purchase a Martin lens tube (19°, 26°, 36°, or 50° options available) and a mounting bracket separately to complete the installation. Third-party lens tubes are also compatible if you prefer other options.
What's the difference between High Output and High Quality modes?
High Output mode delivers 6,900 lumens at 85 CRI for maximum brightness in large venues or throw distances. High Quality mode reduces output to 5,900 lumens but raises color rendering to 90 CRI for more accurate color mixing and theatrical applications where color fidelity matters.
How do I control this fixture, and is RDM supported?
The ELP CL operates via DMX512-A protocol with 1, 10, or 17 selectable channel modes, and includes 5-pin DMX/RDM connectors plus a Neutrik True1 In/Thru for power and control integration into larger rigs. It also runs standalone with mechanical gear-driven focus adjustment, so you can operate it without external DMX control if needed.
What beam angles does this fixture support?
The ELP CL accepts interchangeable Martin lens tubes in 19°, 26°, 36°, and 50° beam angles, and is compatible with third-party lens tubes as well, allowing you to adapt the fixture to different throw distances and venue sizes without replacing the head.
Is this fixture suitable for touring, and how durable is it?
Yes—the die-cast aluminum housing and gear-driven mechanical focus mechanism are built for reliable road use and repeated setup/teardown. Flicker-free operation across all dimming levels and color temperatures, plus IP20 rating for indoor environments, makes this a dependable workhorse for theaters, studios, and traveling rigs.
