Description
Martin VDO Sceptron XB 320 mm LED Light Engine
The Martin VDO Sceptron XB 320 mm is a compact, full-color LED engine built for venues, rental houses, and sound engineers who need precise color control and rock-solid networked operation on the road and in the venue. This lightweight unit delivers professional color mixing and dimming in a form factor that fits tight spaces—perfect for stage rigging, architectural washes, and custom builds where reliable color performance matters.
Optical Performance & Color Control
Built with RGBW LEDs and a 10 mm pixel pitch, this engine provides smooth color blending across the full visible spectrum with independent control of red, green, blue, and white channels from 0–100%. Variable color temperature ranges from 1,800 K to 12,850 K, while integrated tint control allows green-magenta shift adjustment (Δuv -0.05 – +0.05) for precise white-point matching and creative color work during live sets and complex installations.
Control, Integration & Live Deployment
The unit supports Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 control protocols, making it compatible with industry-standard lighting consoles and networked control systems you're running on stage. An IP65 rating qualifies it for both indoor venues and temporary outdoor festivals, while a 125-degree viewing angle ensures even light distribution across typical stage distances and installation setups.
