Sorry for late reply, I was in New York city demoing some of our new toys with great success.
Yes, the MAC301 is pretty much identical to the JB Lighting A7
fixture. After first seeing this
unit at an early
stage about 12 months ago, we saw the opportunity to match their
fixture to our worldwide sales and support
network for mutual benefit. JB Lighting are established in Germany but have had limited success elsewhere as it takes a long time to
build a brand and support
network.
It took a while to get this going mainly due to JB Lighting having to
build an extension to their factory in order to cope with the quantities we have committed to.
The MAC301 has (of course)
Martin branded
yoke covers, label, some small changes to the menu text and of course a
Martin manual.
The
fixture comes with our warranty, support and spare parts backup.
The main difference to the GLP/Elation Impression is indeed the
zoom optics but the MAC301 also has much smoother dimming, better color balance at full white, nicer movement and we keep the LEDs at low
voltage, not high
voltage (with its
safety concerns) like the Impression.
