Clay Paky Mythos (PAIR)

The Clay Paky Mythos is a cutting-edge LED-powered spot/wash hybrid luminaire that offers professional lighting designers full creative control in a compact, versatile housing. It combines high-performance optics with agile movement and advanced color-mixing features, making it suitable for theatre, concerts, broadcast, corporate events, and installation projects. Powered by a powerful 480 W RGBW LED engine, the Mythos produces a bright 17,000 lumens, comparable to traditional 1200 W discharge fixtures, while delivering energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and reduced maintenance. Its lightweight yet robust build allows it to withstand the rigors of touring, while its advanced thermal management ensures consistent performance over extended use.

The fixture features a 3°–40° motorized zoom that smoothly transitions from tight beam effects to full stage wash, making it highly adaptable within dynamic programming. Its optics deliver crisp beam edges and deep field uniformity—critical for sharp lighting callouts and immersive stage washes. Mythos’s color system uses CMY mixing with variable CTO, supplemented by an additional color wheel with seven fixed colors, giving designers nuanced control over color temperatures from cool whites to rich saturated hues. This, combined with 16-bit dimming and smooth fade capabilities, ensures broadcast/film-ready performance without flicker or banding.

Its effects package is equally impressive. The Mythos is equipped with two gobo wheels (rotating/indexable and static), an animation wheel for dynamic patterns, motorized focus, and dual rotating prisms (3‑ and 6‑facet). It also includes two frost filters (light and heavy), a fast iris, and an electronic shutter. Its framing module adds 180° rotation, offering creative beam shaping and masking effects. The unit supports fast pan/tilt moves with precision, and it operates quietly, making it suitable for sound-sensitive applications. Multiple control options are supported via DMX, RDM, Art‑Net, sACN, and optional wireless CRMX, while onboard presets and OLED menu navigation simplify setup and programming.

In summary, the Clay Paky Mythos is a highly adaptable and feature-rich LED hybrid fixture that offers theatre-grade optics, robust movement, and a full suite of creative tools—all in a lightweight, touring-friendly frame. Its seamless blend of spot and wash capabilities, rich color palette, and powerful zoom range make it an outstanding choice for lighting professionals who require flexibility, power, and refined image quality in a single compact unit.
