Description
Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP in EPS
The Martin MAC Aura Raven XIP is a compact yet powerful moving head that balances extreme output with genuine portability. Its dual-engine design—combining a high-intensity beam engine with an independent RGB aura backlight system—delivers visual depth that larger fixtures struggle to match, making it essential for touring productions, festival rigs, and permanent installations where versatility and punch matter equally.
Output & Optical Performance
The 27,000-lumen beam engine achieves exceptional brightness across a 6 to 51-degree zoom range, ensuring tight spot work and broad coverage without fixture changes. The 70-watt aura LED engine drives 234 individual RGB LEDs across the backlight, creating dimensional color separation and texture that enriches the beam itself—a significant advantage for texture-heavy programming and live visual impact.
Control & Operational Reliability
Native support for DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 protocols ensures seamless integration into any control ecosystem, from traditional wired rigs to networked systems. The IP54 weatherproof rating and 50,000-hour LED lifetime mean this fixture handles touring cycles and outdoor deployment without compromise, while dual 1/4-turn omega bracket points plus M12 threaded mounting provide secure, flexible rigging options that survive repeated load-in and breakdown cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the zoom range and beam spread?
The Raven XIP features a motorized 6 to 51-degree zoom range, allowing tight spot work at narrow angles and broad coverage at wider settings without requiring fixture swaps. This versatility reduces the number of different fixtures needed in a rig.
How does the aura LED engine work with the main beam?
The dual-engine design combines an 830W beam LED engine with an independent 70-watt RGB aura backlight system of 234 individual LEDs. The aura engine creates dimensional color separation and texture that enriches the beam itself, adding visual depth that larger single-engine fixtures struggle to match.
What control protocols does it support?
The Raven XIP natively supports DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 protocols, ensuring seamless integration into traditional wired rigs, networked systems, and mixed control ecosystems.
Is this fixture suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The IP54 weatherproof rating and 3,478 BTU/hr thermal dissipation capacity enable reliable outdoor deployment. Combined with a 50,000+ hour LED lifetime and dual rigging points, this fixture is built for touring productions and permanent outdoor installations.
What mounting options are available?
The fixture includes dual 1/4-turn omega bracket mounting points plus an M12 threaded rigging point, providing flexible and secure mounting for truss, floor stands, and permanent installation hardware.
