Martin MAC Viper Wash DX

The Martin MAC Viper Wash DX is a high-output, feature-rich LED wash moving head designed to meet the demands of large venues, stadiums, touring productions, and extensive corporate or entertainment events. At its core, this fixture boasts a robust RGBL (red, green, blue, lime) LED engine that produces an impressive visual presence comparable to large discharge fixtures, while offering energy efficiency, reduced heat output, and long LED lifespan. The unit delivers vibrant saturation of colors, rich complementing pastels, and smooth whites—thanks to its Lime-enhanced color palette—which enhances brightness and expands the overall color gamut. The quality of light output, combined with a precise 8° to 55° zoom range, makes it a versatile tool capable of creating sharp mid-air beams as well as broad stage washes with uniform coverage. This flexibility allows lighting designers to use the Viper Wash DX for both atmospheric effects and impactful frontlight roles.

In terms of performance capabilities, the Martin Viper Wash DX is equipped with a cutting-edge optics system and powerful movement mechanics. The fixture features a fast and accurate pan/tilt drive system that enables swift sweeps, dynamic chases, and precise positioning on large stages or architectural spaces. Its 8°–55° motorized zoom range provides a wide range of beam angles suited for tight punch through haze or expansive washes for audience and set coverage. Dimensional control is backed by 16-bit dimming functionality, ensuring smooth fades and high-speed strobe options up to 20 Hz. Color control benefits from CMY + Lime mixing, linear CTO, and a UV LED source, which improves color rendering particularly for whites and pastels. Additionally, Fire and Sparkle macros, tungsten lamp simulation, and custom color macros empower designers to fine-tune visual aesthetics on the fly.

Control flexibility is another highlight of the Viper Wash DX. The fixture supports multiple industry-leading protocols, including DMX512-A, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and built-in wireless CRMX for cable-free operation. Integration into multi-fixture rigs is seamless with Art-Net and sACN compatibility, and onboard programs allow for standalone operation without need for a lighting console. The user interface combines a multi-lingual menu with an LCD display and internal storage for custom presets, streamlining setup and troubleshooting. Connectivity includes standard powerCON TRUE1, 5-pin DMX, and Ethernet ports. Acoustically optimized cooling ensures quiet operation, making the fixture suitable for noise-sensitive environments like theaters or broadcast studios. With a rugged housing, locking power and data in/out, and a touring-ready build, the MAC Viper Wash DX is tailored for professionals who need a dependable, versatile, and visually impressive LED wash fixture capable of handling high-demand lighting applications.
