HARMAN Professional Solutions have announced the launch of the Martin Professional MAC One Beam, an ultra-compact beam moving head designed to deliver tight, high-intensity beams and captivating eye-candy effects in a compact, lightweight form without weight, size, or budget constraints.

At its core sits an automotive-grade LILI (Laser Illuminated Lighting Instrument) engine, engineered for precision and reliability. This compact light source produces an exceptionally sharp beam with an intensity of approximately 7 million candela—more than enough for bold aerial effects in live performance, broadcast, and event environments. MAC One Beam’s optimized output addresses growing industry concerns around eye safety, offering a responsible balance of performance and protection.

MAC One Beam excels in three key areas. First, its razor-sharp beam and fast CMY color mixing deliver dynamic, high-contrast effects with snappy responsiveness. Second, its compact footprint and sub-5 kg weight allow dense fixture deployment, unlocking bold looks while reducing transport costs and rigging complexity. Third, a mesmerizing three-dimensional backlight effect—featuring individually controllable light guides behind a bold 120 mm lens—adds visual depth and stage presence, even when the beam is idle.

Designed for versatility, MAC One Beam integrates seamlessly with its sibling, the MAC One wash fixture, using a unified ecosystem of rigging accessories, including the MAC One Fourbar and VDO Grid Mount System. This compatibility empowers designers to mix fixture types freely—combining beam and wash functionality within the same rig, layout, or flightcase—without sacrificing efficiency or cohesion.

“When we set out to design the MAC One Beam, our goal was simple: give lighting designers a compact and versatile fixture that sparks creativity without adding complexity,” said Wouter Verlinden, Product Manager for Creative LED, Lighting & Control, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “It was also built for stunning eye-candy effects. We can’t wait to see what fresh designs it will inspire for stages, studios, and live events.”
