I'd really recommend color mixing for a 600 seat
PAC. The concert/DJ colors in most fixed color wheels aren't appropriate. The only exception that I've found are the Rogue R2/R3 Spot from Chauvet which have some lighter colors - but even then those lack anything in the lavender range. A lot better than the limited color options in those Elation units though. The MK1 spot is a solid
fixture for that size space, and while it doesn't get quite as wide as the MK2 spot (the
zoom range starts much narrower which gives it the 5:1 vs 3:1
zoom) it's a good choice for sure. You can also check out the Rogue R3 spot if you think you can get away without the
CMY though - it's got a 300W
LED engine,
zoom, 2
gobo wheels, 2 color wheels,
iris,
prism, and
frost. If the colors are the same as the R2 Spot (
@Michael Graham can you confirm?), there are two levels of
CTO filters on one wheel that you can combine with some of the lighter colors on the other wheel with good results.
I think you'll really mix the color mixing if you get a
fixture without it though.
