Starlite, a leading production and hire company renowned for its commitment to top-tier lighting solutions, recently bolstered its inventory by adding Martin MAC Viper XIP fixtures.
The Starlite team was first captivated by the MAC Viper XIP’s potential at a Martin Technology preview held at Show Technology Melbourne.
The decision, they assert, was a natural one. Building upon the legacy of the celebrated Martin Viper line, the XIP’s superior brightness, IP rating, gobo collection, and exceptional colour mixing capabilities perfectly complement their existing MAC Aura PXL fixtures, enabling them to meet the diverse needs of their clients, from intimate theatre productions to expansive outdoor events.
Currently deployed on a national tour, the MAC Viper XIP fixtures are receiving rave reviews, particularly from the touring head of lighting who stated, “Being one of the first shows in Australia to tour these fixtures, I was absolutely blown away with the output, along with how even the light source is. For a show that heavily relies on the framing shutters, the shutters are extremely fast, faster than anything else on the market. The MAC Viper XIPs are remarkably quiet which is perfect for a theatre environment, especially for shows that travel to older-type theatres with structural domes in the ceilings that love to bounce sound around. With an impressive zoom range up to 50? and two levels of diffusion, I also found these excellent as a multi-purpose fixture providing an extremely even and consistent front wash across the stage when needed.”
Starlite’s investment in these fixtures has proven to be a wise decision, enhancing their ability to deliver exceptional lighting solutions for their clients. They also commended Show Technology for their excellent service, particularly Brandon and Paul, who worked diligently to meet their needs and ensure a smooth acquisition process. This positive experience further cements Starlite’s loyalty to the Martin brand and their trust in Show Technology as a reliable partner. The MAC Viper XIP fixtures have elevated Starlite’s inventory and reinforced its reputation for providing cutting-edge lighting technology and unparalleled service to its clients.
