Martin MAC One and MAC Aura XIP: The Future of Event Lighting Is Here

When it comes to event production, lighting isn’t just about illumination — it’s about creating an atmosphere, guiding an audience’s attention, and elevating the energy of every moment. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce two new cutting-edge lighting fixtures into our arsenal at Eagle Production Co.: the Martin MAC One and the MAC Aura XIP.

These aren’t just lights. They’re tools for transformation — engineered to match the scale, precision, and emotional impact that today’s top-tier events demand.

Whether you’re planning a high-stakes corporate summit, a visually immersive brand experience, or an open-air gala under the stars, these fixtures unlock new levels of creativity, control, and reliability. Here’s why.

Why Lighting Still Wins the Room

In our experience producing events across industries and cities — from pharmaceutical launches and tech conferences to nonprofit galas and major league activations — one thing remains consistent: lighting is the fastest way to shift a space from functional to unforgettable.

But here’s the catch: today’s audiences are more visually savvy than ever. They don’t just notice when the lighting looks good — they sense when it doesn’t.

That’s why our team continually invests in high-performance gear that ensures every cue lands exactly as intended. The MAC One and MAC Aura XIP aren’t just upgrades — they’re answers to the evolving demands of modern event design.

Meet the MAC One: Compact Powerhouse. Creative Workhorse.

Let’s start with the MAC One — a versatile BeamWash fixture that’s small in size but huge in creative potential.

What Makes It Special:

• Hybrid Design: The MAC One combines the punch of a beam light with the softness of a wash, giving you dual functionality in a single fixture. That means fewer units, faster rigging, and more flexibility across stage designs.

• Fresnel Lens Finish: With its signature soft-edge beam, the MAC One brings a cinematic quality to everything from product reveals to keynote entrances.

• Tour-Ready and Lightweight: Clocking in at just under 7 kg, this fixture is easy to transport, mount, and reposition — making it ideal for fast-turn corporate installs, live tours, or multi-day conferences.

• Silent Operation: In environments where every whisper matters — boardrooms, theater stages, or streamed sessions — this fixture performs with near-silent cooling. No distractions, no compromises.

In short? It’s the kind of fixture that disappears into the background while making your event shine brighter.

Meet the MAC Aura XIP: Built for the Bold. Ready for the Outdoors.

Now for the showstopper: the MAC Aura XIP.

This isn’t just a light. It’s a visual storytelling tool — designed to handle the most ambitious lighting designs across both indoor and outdoor environments.

What Sets It Apart:

• IP54-Rated Durability: Rain, dust, or high humidity? No problem. The Aura XIP is weather-protected for outdoor use without sacrificing output, silence, or color fidelity — a rare combo in the world of professional lighting.

• Aura Filament Effect: This fixture features 12 individually controllable RGBW filaments that create a rich, layered “aura” behind the main beam. It adds depth, dimension, and motion to your lighting in ways audiences feel, even if they can’t name it.

• Pixel Mapping Capabilities: Want to integrate lighting with on-screen visuals or brand animations? The MAC Aura XIP’s beam and aura zones can be mapped individually, allowing for creative video content integration and reactive light displays.

• Narrower Zoom, Brighter Beams: With a tighter zoom range and cleaner optics, this fixture produces stronger beams with less stray light — meaning your lighting designs are more controlled and intentional, even in high ambient light scenarios.

• Flicker-Free for Broadcast: Perfect for live-streamed events or media-forward activations, the Aura XIP delivers constant output with zero flicker — even under high-speed camera conditions.

It’s not just waterproof. It’s future-proof.

What This Means for Your Event

At Eagle Production Co., we don’t bring in new technology unless it solves real-world challenges for our clients. And these two fixtures do just that.

Here’s what their addition means for you:

1. More Impact, Less Gear

Because both the MAC One and Aura XIP are multifunctional and high-output, we can achieve complex looks with fewer fixtures. That translates to:

• Cleaner stage setups

• Less rigging time

• Greater creative freedom, even in tight spaces

2. Ready for Any Environment

Outdoor dinner under a canopy? Rooftop activation with unpredictable weather? Indoor keynote with a film crew on set? We’re now equipped to deliver consistent lighting quality — no matter the venue or conditions.

3. Creative Flexibility Without Complexity

The pixel mapping capabilities of the Aura XIP, combined with the beam-to-wash agility of the MAC One, means our design team can pull off effects that are visually stunning without overcomplicating the tech behind them.

4. A More Immersive Experience for Your Audience

Whether it’s a soft glow that wraps around the room or a powerful beam that slices through the fog during your headline speaker’s walk-on, these fixtures are built to move people — not just light a stage.
