MAC Aura XIP User Manual
Introduction
Warning! Before installing, operating or servicing the MAC Aura XIP lighting fixture, read the latest
version of the Safety and Installation Manual that is attached to this User Manual, paying particular
attention to the Safety Precautions section.
Thank you for selecting a MAC Aura XIP moving head lighting fixture from Martin®.
The MAC Aura XIP is a premium moving head wash light with a radical aura filament effect and full pixel
control with video mapping capabilities onto the beam, aura, or both. It is Martin's latest addition to the MAC
Aura family of workhorse wash lights and the first fixture in its class to be rated for outdoor use, with close to
zero compromises in weight, size, and aesthetics due to Martin's smart outdoor-capable design. It raises
the bar for optical quality, featuring an even wash field with soft edge, minimal stray light, and high intensity
mid-air beams with improved light engine control.
Safety and Installation Manual – User Manual
The MAC Aura XIP Safety and Installation Manual is supplied with the fixture as a printed booklet and also
attached to this User Manual as one combined PDF file that is available for download from the MAC Aura
XIP area of the Martin® website at www.martin.com. The User Manual contains information that is mainly of
interest for lighting designers and operators, whereas the Safety and Installation Manual contains important
information for ALL users, especially installers and technicians.
We recommend that you check the Martin website regularly for updated manuals because we publish
revised versions each time we can improve the quality of the information we provide and each time we
release new firmware with changes or new features. Each time we revise a manual, we list any important
changes on page 2 so that you can keep track of updates.
Operating the fixture
Before applying power to or operating the MAC Aura XIP:
• Read the ‘Safety Information’ section of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual that is supplied with
the fixture and attached to this User Manual.
• Check that the installation is safe and secure.
• Check that the fixture is in perfect condition. Do not apply power to a fixture that is obviously damaged, or
you may create a safety risk and make the damage worse.
• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head moves will not cause
the base to move.
• Be prepared for the head to move suddenly. Check that there will be no risk of collision with persons or
objects.
• Be prepared for the fixture to light up suddenly. Check that no-one is looking at the fixture from close
range.
The fixture does not have an On/Off switch. To apply power to the fixture, connect the power input cable to a
source of AC power that is within the range 100-240 V (nominal), 50/60 Hz. The fixture’s Neutrik powerCON
TRUE1 TOP connectors can also be connected live or under load.
Note that whenever power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects and functions to their home
positions and the fixture head will move. This process takes several seconds.
