Jon Weir of production company Majestic Productions of Summitville, Indiana designed the lighting and handled programming for the tour with lighting supply by Majestic as well. The lighting rig is all Martin gear and includes 16 MAC III Profiles, 12 MAC 2000 Washes, 12 MAC 600 washlights and two MAC 2000 Profiles.
"When I started designing this tour, details on the MAC III were few and far between," says Weir. "But after talking to our Martin rep we arranged a demo and as soon as I fired it up and saw the huge beam coming out of it, I knew it would be perfect for this tour."
Weir, who says he has a tendency to spec gear that is new to the field, enjoyed putting the MAC III Profiles through their paces. "So far they have performed beautifully - real rock solid," he says. "And as far as output, no other fixture in this class even comes close. The optics are crystal clear and the colours are amazing."
