AV Unlimited Acquires the First Martin Professional MAC Ultras on the African Continent
By Bruce Schwartz
This investment underscores AV Unlimited’s commitment to offering state-of-the-art equipment to its clients and solidifies its position as a leader in the audio-visual and live events industries.
By incorporating these amazing and innovative fixtures into its inventory, AV Unlimited will be able to offer its clients an enhanced range of options to create captivating visual experiences. From dynamic light shows to stunning stage productions, the Martin Mac Ultra will enable AV Unlimited’ s clients to bring their visions to life in ways never seen before.
Way back in 2015 AV Unlimited invested in 18 x Martin MAC Vipers from Electrosonic SA, and those units have proved to be rock-solid workhorse’s and have consistently provided a decent return on their investment for AV Unlimited. "When it came time to look at updating our inventory as the demands of our shows and clients became larger, our first port of call was Electrosonic and the offering that Martin Professional had. Without even seeing the fixtures in the flesh; but doing our research and the faith we have in the Martin Brand and Electrosonic SA, Investing in MAC Ultras was a no-brainer," said Guillaume Ducray from AV Unlimited.
The MAC Ultra Performance has raised the bar for extremely bright moving lights and features benchmark output across the zoom range, a true next generation framing system, higher definition optics, and astoundingly low noise levels.
Built to support the biggest live events, this powerful workhorse pushes a TRUE and incredible 46,500 lumens in projection. The 50,000+ hour light engine also provides high-resolution dimming, strobing, and Martin’s unique Animotion™ effect, all packed into a compact, sturdy, and legendary Martin design.
The MAC Ultra Performance is perfect for a wide range of concert and touring productions but is equally applicable for noise-sensitive broadcast and theatre stage lighting applications. Simply put, when it comes to workhorse fixtures that push the boundaries of output and performance execution, the MAC Ultra Performance stands boldly in a class all its own.
"Building on the legacy of the Martin MAC Vipers in South Africa, Electrosonic is very proud to have been able to supply these amazing fixtures to AV Unlimited. We have built an amazing relationship of trust and respect over many years with Arnaud and Guillaume Ducray from AV Unlimited. Ever since I first saw these fixtures at ISE, I have been blown away by how advanced, refined and notably the brightest fixtures Martin Professional have ever produced. I’ve have been fortunate to see many fixtures over my 20years with Martin Professional. The build quality and refined level of features are truly astounding," said Bruce Schwartz of Electrosonic SA.
Electrosonic is grateful to Arnaud Ducray and Guillaume Giblot-Ducray from AV Unlimited, and to Peter Dahlin from Martin Professional who was instrumental in making this happen.
When the fixtures landed in South Africa, they were express collected from the freight company and went straight onto a show in the Teatro Montecasino.
We wish AV Unlimited many happy hours of lighting up events for many years to come!
