MAC 2000 Beam XB™ / MAC 2000 Beam
Convert any MAC 2000 Wash XB or MAC 2000 Wash into a powerful beam fixture
™

Get the most out of your gear!
Compact yet loaded
Despite a surprisingly compact size, the MAC 2000 Beam
XB includes all the proven features of the MAC 2000 Wash
XB including full color mixing, color wheel, smooth dimming, strobe, variable CTO, and zoom (wash effect).
Seamless color mixing plus color wheel
The MAC 2000 Beam XB’s color mixing system offers a
broad spectrum of colors. A four-position (plus open) color
wheel is interchangeable, allowing designers to customize
shades and complement perfectly the fixture’s CMY color
mixing system.

Easily convert two of the most advanced wash
lights on the market - the Martin MAC 2000
Wash XB and MAC 2000 Wash - into a
powerful beam fixture with an inexpensive
conversion kit that installs in minutes.
Ideal for any large scale event where both beam and wash
effects are required such as stadium and arena shows, the
conversion kit gets the most out of your gear, eliminating
the need to invest in a completely new fixture.
Simple, inexpensive upgrade
The MAC 2000 Beam XB upgrade kit consists of a new
front lens module with micro-Fresnel lens and a set of four
beam effect gobos/apertures. The kit installs in less than 5
minutes and also works with the MAC 2000 Wash.
Components can be easily uninstalled and the fixture returned to a standard Wash configuration at any time.
Super bright
The 1500 W MAC 2000 Beam XB delivers a fat, tight and
amazingly bright hard-edge beam, perfect for big beam
effects and long throws. Even at very narrow beam angles,
output is outstanding with very high intensity.
An electronic ballast offers hot-lamp re-strike and the
advantage of flicker-free light.
High efficacy and efficient optics
The extremely high output from the MAC 2000 Beam XB is
made possible by a combination of high efficacy and very
efficient optics. If users require the fixture to match the
power output of existing 1200 W fixtures, a reduced 1200
W mode can be employed, saving energy and increasing
lamp life.
Smooth dimming and strobe
The fixture allows for very smooth fading via a combined
dimmer/shutter. Mechanical dimming is from 0 to 100%,
and the shutter offers rapid strobe effects up to 10 Hz with
instant open and blackout. In addition to mechanical dimming, an optional dimming wheel can replace the color
wheel.
Color temperature flexibility
A continuously variable color correction system adds the
flexibility to gradually and smoothly increase or decrease
color temperature. It is also useful when working alongside
tungsten halogen or for smoothing out color temperature
inconsistencies when working alongside older lamps.
Beam effect gobos
A gobo wheel with 4 static beam effect gobos/apertures
plus open allows for wider or tighter beam effects as well as
multiple beams or cone looks.
Zoom option wash effect
With a motorized zoom option, the fixture generates a wash
effect instead of a hard-edge beam. The wash effect can be
zoomed from tight to wide.
Proven reliability
The MAC 2000 Beam XB keeps the same optical train,
effects and form as the MAC 2000 Wash XB, guaranteeing
advantages such as proven reliability.
Easy to use and maintain
The MAC 2000 Beam XB is constructed of rugged, modular components for easy maintenance. It has an auto-ranging switch-mode for worldwide use and features the no
hassle reliability that has made the MAC 2000 series a
market leader.
