Bad_Rock Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Do you guys have any idea of the retail price of the Mac 700? When they brought the mac 250 krypton it had the same price ( almost) than the mac 250+. Is there any chance that it will cost as much as a mac 500 ?

Tom S Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Man, I love the 250... It's a classic! Such an elegant light, simple and effective. It's gotta be my favourite fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonino Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'd imagine it will cost more than the 500! given its essentially a bigger version of mac 550, which is the upgraded 500 :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Allan Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Dear All, Just to clarify a few points..... The Mac 500 is not discontinued at this time. We have never had a Mac 200. We have had an Exterior 200 though. The retail price (exc. VAT) for the Mac 700 is....£7599 in cardboard.£7799 in Double Flight Case. Please feel free to call our office (01622 755 442) should you require any more information on our products. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masoundbob Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I just placed an order for Mac 700.I had a demo unit a couple of weeks ago and decided immediately after putting it through its paces and digging into the fixture to purchase them. It is a well thought out fixture and I was very impressed by the optics, output, speed, ease of maintainance. It is close to the output of the 2K and 30% smaller. I am replacing all of my 575 profile fixtures with it. I apologize if I sound like an ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokm Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hey, does anyone know if martin are going to do a replacement for the much loved mac600? maybe a mac 650 or 660 or some other cool name? its suprising they haven't done one yet, seeing as they've replace the 250s with the kryptons, and even added the 250 wash 2 replace the 300, the 550 2 replace the 500 and added the 2k's... just so they have a 1.2kw fixture out on the market. And they've even moved onto 700w fixtures. not saying the 600 is a bad light, there luvly, but you see it, with the new optics technology these days, theres always room for improvement (well brighter fixtures/more features) anyone got any info? maybe they'll release something @ plasa this year. regards Tom Grant btw, soz if anyones already brought this up in another topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 [grumpy person] The fate of the 600 was discussed in this very thread, have a look at the discussion on page 1! Sam [/grumpy person] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam [/grumpy person]<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ahh ok, soz. me not paying attention again. But apart from obvious updates like new optics and maybe abit better effects wheel & faster movement, wat do people thing would make a gd addition to a new 575 (or maybe just jump strait to a 700w fixture) maybe barndoors like on the 2k? any suggestions?

the kid Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 If im not much misstaken the 2k WASH has the barndoors, and from what I see no 700 wash yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think I am right in saying that all new fixtures have 3pin and 5pin DMX options on them as standard, that has been going on for a while now so all new fixtures will have that. Only a small thing but quite useful when you are using a mix of older and newer fixtures. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the kid Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Would this be you have either the 5 or 3 or you get both ... or is that a stupid question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 No you can only use 1 in and 1 out so it doesn't also work as a splitter but you can go 3pin in and 5pin out or visa versa. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im not much misstaken the 2k WASH has the barndoorsYes it does (as an optional extra) but I expect the point tokm was making was having motorized doors on a 575/700w fixture instead of just the 1.2kw range.

Stu<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, :) I must appologise for my language. And yes, that is what I ment. :) Perhaps they could develop some kind of editable beam shaper?? much like the shutting system on the VL1000, but made for a wash fixture (obviously) Like you could shape the beam around an object.. like a cresent shape, or watever the show required. Or maybe some kind of rotating beam shape, like say if u select the long thin spape, you could have it constantly rotating?? anyone recon that could look interesting? the other thing, ive heard people talkin about is LED based fixtures, does anyone recon they could ever be bright enough (in clusters obviously) to stand up against say a 250 say.. or maybe a led wash light. regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
