Their 1200W tungsten lamp means that the colour temperature is perfect for both stage and studio use, and with their silent operation they are guaranteed to be seen but not heard. Martin has done thorough research and produced a truly flexible product: each unit has the option of using the mechanical dimmer (for strobing or dimming without changing colour temperature), the on-board electronic dimmer, or an external dimmer (for uniform dimming curves across all intelligent and generic fixtures). The CMY colour mixing gives rich saturated theatrical colours as well as great pastels and the superior optics ensure an even beam across the whole zoom range.
