It features a specially designed dimming system for exceptionally smooth and even dimming. By achieving new standards in light output and image quality, the Entour is ideal for environments where powerful effects are required like stage, studio and event applications, permanent installations and much more.
Optics
In the MAC 250 Entour, a new 17-degree achromatic lens system produces razor sharp picture quality. A narrow angle 14-degree lens is also included with the Entour for longer projection throws. A full range dimmer/shutter is very fast and allows for smooth color and effect transitions through easy variation of the light intensity. Strobe effects are possible up to 20 Hz.
New graphical capabilities
For completely fresh graphical looks, a newly designed rotating and indexing gobo wheel offers a new selection of replaceable metal and dichroic gobos. The 16-bit precision gobo wheel houses 7 slots plus open. Gobo changes are fast and easy. The Entour houses an additional fixed gobo wheel with 10 replaceable metal gobos giving lighting professionals an even wider range of graphical effects possibilities. Also included with the Entour are a series of beam reduction gobos for easy adjustment of beam size.
Color
Rich color shades are provided from a motorized color wheel housing 12 dichroic color filters plus open with split position possibilities. All color filters are replaceable, and with a wide variety of optional colors available, designers can customize the color palette to fit their needs.
Modular design
The MAC 2000 inspired modular housing is not only good looking; it is designed to make service and maintenance simple with fast access to modules and critical components. The Entour comes in black, white or titanium finish.
Dimmer/Shutter
The Entour features an enhanced high-resolution dimming system similar to the MAC 2000 that provides exceptionally smooth and even dimming. Strobe effects are possible up to 20 Hz.
Prism and focus
A bi-directional, 3-facet prism is smooth and rotates at variable speeds, adding unique effects to gobo projection. The prism can also be replaced giving lighting professionals an added customizable feature. The unit is also equipped with a remote focus for additional effect possibilities, as well as various preset patterns for valuable programming timesavings.
Martin’s fastest moving head ever
The latest in pan and tilt motor technology produces both smooth and ultra-rapid movement, making the new MAC 250 fixtures the fastest moving heads that Martin has ever produced. Movement range is 540° of pan x 257° of tilt. If knocked out of position, a high-speed, automatic reset function realigns the fixture in seconds. The Entour includes two additional features: an easily accessible, multi-position tilt lock eases handling when moved on a frequent basis, and a convenient, low noise operation mode is included for noise sensitive studio environments.
Communications
The MAC 250 Entour is equipped with 3 and 5 pin XLR IN/OUT connectors for data and prepared for future new standards such as ACN or Ethernet based protocol. Also on board is a new light sensitive yellow LED display for easy fixture programming, and customized settings allow each user to cater the fixture to their liking. The display provides easy to use maintenance menus and concise error messages.
A convenient, easily switchable power supply covers worldwide voltages and frequencies.
