Martin MAC Aura PXL SoftLens
Description
Martin MAC Aura PXL SoftLens
The MAC Aura PXL SoftLens is an optical accessory engineered to refine the output of the MAC Aura PXL fixture, transforming its sharp beam into a gentle, diffuse wash. This lens attachment integrates seamlessly into existing lighting rigs without adding bulk or complexity, making it essential for sound engineers and lighting ops who need beam control without fixture swaps. The soft diffusion characteristics allow for subtle architectural wash work and intimate stage environments where hard-edged light would be counterproductive.
Optical Design & Diffusion
The soft diffuser lens mounted in a precision ring housing softens sharp beam edges and produces a gentler, more diffuse light distribution ideal for wash applications and close-proximity work. This optical modification reduces spill control requirements while maintaining color saturation and intensity, giving your rig more flexibility in fixture placement and positioning across the stage or venue.
Installation & Compatibility
The lens assembly mounts directly to the MAC Aura PXL using four 2.9 x 16 self-threading screws with Torx 10 head, ensuring secure attachment and tool-less removal when needed. The compact design allows the fixture with lens attached to fit neatly into the standard MAC Aura/Aura XB flight case, preserving your existing transport infrastructure and keeping your road cases efficient.
