The Stage Cyclo features four 54W high output fluorescent tubes in red, green, blue and white with full colour mixing capabilities. It also features a double parabolic louver reflector for maximum output and even illumination coverage. In its standard finish the beam angle is approximately 55 degrees.
With the Stage Cyclo, subtle colour changing effects can be achieved on a piece of set or scenery and its rugged construction makes it suitable for touring purposes. In order to integrate with any set piece, fixtures are available in any colour.
Cyclo has undergone a number of changes to make it roadworthy. Rubber ends have been added for protection purposes and brackets have been attached on both the ends and the rear of the housing to accept Martin's existing Omega bracket system.
A system has been developed which allows successive Cyclos to be mounted as close as possible to each other to ensure an even distribution of light when working in a backlight situation. And for flexible floor mounting, the Stage Cyclo comes with built in retractable legs which can be set to a variety of angles. Further revisions include XLR connectors added to the data section of the fixture, both in three-pin and five-pin formats.
The Stage Cyclo is directly DMX addressable via a dipswitch panel, and a range of accessories will be made available for the fixtures including acrylic covers for applications that require a completely diffused light source and manual barndoors to give precise control over the output.
