NTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting a Martin Mania EF3. The Mania EF3 is a preprogrammed/music-activated dynamic lighting fixture that features a
motorized rotating reflector with coated mirrors and a motorized rotating
wheel with 8 gobos (gobos are outlines or masks placed in a light beam to
create different patterns). Six gobos are colored and two are textured
effects. The mirrored reflector shoots 18 colored light beams through the
gobos for dynamic light effects that can be run constantly or synchronized
with a music beat.
