Impact Production Services (IPS) has added over 100 Martin Professional lighting fixtures to its rental stock
The significant investment has also seen the purchase of the first Moving Head LED Profile fixture to be added to the IPS inventory in the form of the MAC Quantum Profile, and including upgrading all existing MAC Auras to the enhanced XB version. Completing the new line up at IPS is the Atomic 3000 LED Strobe, combining the power of the traditional strobe with the flexibility of an LED product and the backlight of an Aura. The fixtures are pictured here in the IPS warehouse with MD James Mason (left) and Project Co-ordinator Ian Brown (right).
The Martin MAC Aura has long been a very popular fixture at IPS, and the new XB version with a higher light output from a unit with the same dimensions has been a welcome upgrade. The Aura has been used on all kinds of events from conferences to concerts, so this seemed an ideal time to boost the stock levels. James Mason of IPS says "the Aura XB is a powerful and compact wash light, which also looks great on camera" which makes it a first choice fixture for lots of film premieres, whilst the smooth wash credentials also work well for conference work. The MAC Aura XB is also ideal to use in multiples to create large format concert looks – and indeed this is another place that the IPS hire fleet can regularly be seen.

The Martin MAC Quantum Profile has a high output LED source, and is a very much a replacement option for 700w discharge fixtures. Mason commented that "everyone who has used the MAC Quantum so far has been impressed" as a high quality LED profile fixture with fully CMY colour mixing, they perform incredibly well. The Quantum Profile is fully featured, and also includes a new range of gobos – with the same size replaceable gobo as the MAC 550/700 units. All this is offered in a package that is more light weight than the equivalent discharge units.

The Martin MAC 3000 Atomic LED Strobe is a reinvention of the classic Atomic strobe. Still offering the dazzling white burst from the Xenon version, the LED version also had the Aura LED Backlight system to provide an eye candy look to the reflector. "The backlight allows many more looks to be created from what has previously been only a strobe effect" says Mason.

Alongside these new Martin items, IPS still has a range of other fixtures including the original Atomic 3000 strobe, the MAC 250 range, MAC 101, MAC 550, MAC 700 & MAC 2000 fixtures – plus much more!
