HARMAN Professional Solutions today announced the debut of MAC Encore Two to redefine performance lighting for contemporary stage, broadcast, and touring environments.
Whether illuminating the subtle contours of a performer’s face or painting a set with true‑to‑life colour, MAC Encore Two captures skin tones and scenic detail with high realism, making it an essential fixture when every nuance matters.
As a single, fully featured evolution of the Martin MAC Encore lineup, MAC Encore Two maximises ROI and streamlines inventory management for installed and rental applications alike.
It features a proprietary 760 W LED white light engine, producing 21,000 lumens – a 75% increase over its predecessor. This translates to advanced optical performance and a 5,600 K neutral white output.
Despite its excellent output, MAC Encore Two is quieter than the MAC Encore, making it ideal for noise‑sensitive theatre, broadcast, and corporate environments. Selectable output levels with noise optimisation ensure performance can be tailored to demanding acoustic conditions.
With native TM‑30, TLCI, and CRI scores over 90 and all boosted to 95 with the integrated Spectrum Enhancement Filter, MAC Encore Two’s enhanced CMY system produces saturated colours with superior depth, especially in amber and yellow, while maintaining pure white on the blackbody curve.
The 1:10 zoom system (5°–54°) and 150 mm front lens deliver up to six times the intensity of MAC Encore at its narrowest beam, making MAC Encore Two a perfect choice for long‑throw applications. High lumen maintenance, razor‑sharp optics, and precise gobo framing ensure consistent, high‑definition projection.
MAC Encore Two includes two gobo wheels (seven rotating and 11 static) plus a dual frost system available throughout the zoom range. Highly responsive and smooth pan/tilt movement and high‑resolution, low‑level dimming make it ideal as a key light or automated followspot.
Despite its expanded capabilities, MAC Encore Two’s 36 kg footprint integrates easily into existing rigs, offering a best‑in‑class weight‑to‑size‑to‑output ratio. An array of control options includes DMX, Art‑Net, sACN, and Martin P3.
“From the outset, our vision for the MAC Encore Two was to create a fixture that goes beyond being a great light. We wanted it to be a storyteller – shaping and delivering light with intention,” said Henrik Kristensen, Product Manager, Stage Lighting, HARMAN Professional Solutions.
“It’s purpose‑built to be the fixture designers can count on… to naturally and beautifully reveal every facet of every detail and do more than ever expected, whether on stage or on camera. This is that fixture, and we couldn’t be more proud to bring it to the market.”
