Ayrton MagicRing-R9

The Ayrton MAGICRING R9 is the most powerful and most extravagant luminaire in Ayrton’s RADICAL range, designed for extreme and unique uses where no conventional fixture can reach. At its heart are sixty-one 15-watt RGBW LED sources arranged in four concentric rings, with the gap between the optics reduced to a minimum so the rings read as one seamless beam. The result is a total flux of 26,000 lumens and a centre beam intensity exceeding 2,730,000 candela, delivered through a razor-thin 4.5-degree beam that punches through haze, smoke, and stage atmosphere like no other fixture on the market. Because the light sources are true RGBW, colors stay saturated and even throughout the beam, and the multi-ring geometry creates layered, dimensional effects that a single-panel fixture simply cannot reproduce.

Control over this fixture is as flexible as the output is extreme. The R9 can be driven by DMX-RDM, Art-Net, or through Ayrton’s LumenRadio wireless DMX-RDM connection, giving designers freedom to wire it or fly it untethered. DMX modes range from a reduced 18-channel mode that opens a library of preprogrammed effects and colors when programming time is short, to a standard 20-channel mode for full single-instance control, up to extended 256 and 260-channel modes where every one of the 61 light sources is individually addressable for complete pixel control across all four rings. Ayrton’s famous continuous pan and tilt rotation system allows endless rotation, unlocking movement patterns that are simply impossible on standard yoke fixtures. A built-in stageview bitmap alignment feature makes lining up pixel content on stage fast and precise, and the whole machine is packed into a compact housing that belies its 915-watt draw.

For a used MAGICRING R9 in working condition, this is a show-stopping fixture that commands a premium on the rental market for exactly the right reasons: very few rigs own one, and audiences remember the moments it is used. It shines in large touring productions, arena and stadium work, television and broadcast specials, festival main stages, and any show where a signature beam effect is the centerpiece of the design. The multi-ring RGBW output handles everything from hard center-stage beams to full pixel-mapped graphics, and the endless rotation keeps effects moving long after a conventional beam would feel static. If you are building a lighting inventory that needs to stand out, or looking to acquire the flagship of the RADICAL series for a headline production, this Ayrton MAGICRING R9 delivers the most radical light show available at a competitive used price.
