This package includes a professional 6-unit flightcase, making transport and protection straightforward for frequent touring use.
Light Output & Optical Performance
The fixture delivers 6,000 lumens of RGBW output with impressive beam intensity reaching 220,000 cd for long-throw applications. The 10 to 60 degree uniform zoom range provides flexibility from tight spotlighting to broad wash coverage, while the combination of 19x 15W RGBW beam LEDs and 30x 0.3W RGB aura LEDs enables both dramatic effects and subtle color grading.
Build & Operational Efficiency
Each fixture weighs only 6.5 kg (14.4 lbs.), keeping total system weight at 50 kg with the protective flightcase. Power consumption is modest at 285 W maximum beam LED and 9 W maximum aura LED draw, with heat dissipation of 1230 BTU/hr., making it suitable for venues with modest cooling requirements. The IP 20 rating provides basic dust protection for typical indoor and touring environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the MAC Aura XB suitable for touring versus stationary installations?
The fixture weighs just 6.5 kg per head and ships in a professional 6-unit flightcase (50 kg total), making it practical for frequent transport. Its IP 20 rating protects against dust in typical touring environments, and the efficient 285 W power draw and modest heat output (1230 BTU/hr.) reduce load on venue electrical and cooling systems at each stop.
Can the MAC Aura XB throw light across large venues?
Yes. The fixture produces 220,000 cd of beam intensity with a 10–60 degree uniform zoom range, enabling both long-throw spotlighting for arenas and broad wash coverage for smaller stages or color grading work.
What LED sources are inside, and how long do they last?
The MAC Aura XB uses 19x 15W RGBW beam LEDs for primary color and intensity, plus 30x 0.3W RGB aura LEDs for accent effects and color shaping. Minimum LED lifetime is greater than 50,000 hours to 70% luminous output, significantly reducing replacement costs over its operational life.
What does the flightcase package include, and what are its dimensions?
The package is a 6-unit flightcase with internal dimensions of 58x120x75 cm, holding six MAC Aura XB fixtures and weighing 50 kg total. It includes M12 threaded holes for rigging clamps and mounting bracket attachment points on each fixture.
What is the power and cooling footprint for a multi-fixture rig?
Each fixture draws a maximum of 285 W for beam LEDs and 9 W for aura LEDs, with calculated heat dissipation of 1230 BTU/hr. per unit. This modest draw and cooling profile make even large rigs manageable in venues with standard electrical and HVAC capacity.
