sam.henderson Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 The Martin Mac 700 Martin are going to run out of numbers to name their products with soon!! It appears its a Mac550 with CMY colour mixing, a brighter lamp and a few other 'extras'. Vaguely interesting. Sam
JohnPartridge Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Looks nice! , I will have to get some of those , they look like they are a mixture of a 550 , and 2k. Lets just hope the price is good. what could be next ? the mac 100 , 150 , 200 , 350 , 400 , 450 , 650 ,750 ,800,850 ,900, 950 , 1000, thier is still room for more lights in their range ;) John Partridge
SparkySteve Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 the 200 already exists... its one of thier exterior range
Bad_Rock Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Do you guys know their street price already? And about the way what is gonna happen to the old Mac 500's? Will they be still great or probably Martin will discontinue them ?

Will they be still great or probably Martin will discontinue them ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think that the Mac 500 has already been discontinued, because of the 550?
Bad_Rock Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Well I still see it on every store it is also shown in their web page.
JohnPartridge Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Hi , yes im sorry just relised that the mac200 allready exists, ok well thats 1 less which they cant use :huh: John Partridge
Gilly Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 The 500 is going to be discontinued. You may have noticed they've dropped in price dramatically over the past few months. Suppliers are getting rid of surplus stock. ALthough as I understand it, they are going to continue to support the 500 for some time to come, after all, there are a hell of a lot of them out there!
sam.henderson Posted July 3, 2005 Author Posted July 3, 2005 Its a shame they are discontinuing the 500. Its a but of a classic and for when you don't need the animation wheel and all the other extras in the 550 its a good fixture to use. So what the fate of the 600 then becuase they haven't brought out a 650 or similar yet, maybe thats to come?? Sam
JohnPartridge Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Yes I was just thinking that, maybe their is a mac650 comming soon, would be good. The 500 and 600 will still be used for a long time after discontinue, its like the old mac250 you still see them heavily used even though their is the "new Bread" of mac now out. I will still continue to use mac 500's and the old 250's and 600s regardless of wether they are discontinued and I belive many other people like me will do the same. I will still like to get a few of these mac 700's though :huh:
sam.henderson Posted July 3, 2005 Author Posted July 3, 2005 its like the old mac250Yep, only the 500s and 600s are a lot more common!! There are so many arround! Sam
zonino Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 the upgraded version of the 600 is the 600NT the 700's are basically the 550 with an extra module in and a brighter lamp, it has the same casing as the 550 (with a different label!) and I believe the 600 is the most widely used moving head - theres loads of them about!
sam.henderson Posted July 3, 2005 Author Posted July 3, 2005 But the 600NT was never really marketed as a completly different product to the original 600(e) fixture like the 550 and Entour/ Kryptons have. Sam
zonino Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 yeah, but it still had a complete optical overturn etc, essentially they don't need to do one because of the popularity of the fixture!
sam.henderson Posted July 3, 2005 Author Posted July 3, 2005 I am looking forward to using some 700s now actually!! I have been looking for something between the 550 and 2k and this could be just the ticket! Will just have to wait for some hire companies to pick them up now. Sam
