Description
The Martin ERA 600 Performance (also written ERA600 Performance or ERA 600 Perf) is a 550W LED-based profile moving head with a full framing system and CMY color mixing, built for touring, rental, and live production use. Its white LED engine produces a bright, sharp 6,500K image with a flat field, and a 1:8 zoom (6° to 45°) keeps the output high from short throws to larger trim heights. Martin designed it as a compact, tour-worthy fixture that is easy to handle and rig for its class.
Beyond the framing blades, the fixture includes a 7-slot color wheel, variable color temperature control from 6500K to 2700K, an animation wheel, an iris, and two gobo wheels loaded with glass gobos from Martin's MAC range. Two rotating prisms and a heavy frost filter add beam effects and wash looks, and a modular design lets you swap effects modules in under a minute. Two Omega brackets for rigging clamps are included.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Martin ERA 600 Performance?
It is a 550W LED-based profile moving head with framing blades, CMY color mixing, gobos, prisms, and a 1:8 zoom, made by Martin (HARMAN Professional).
How bright is it?
The fixture output is 19,000 lumens (the light engine alone is rated at 37,000 lumens), with a 6,500K color temperature and a CRI above 70.
Does it have framing blades?
Yes. Four individually controllable blades can each cross the whole beam for a full blackout, and the framing module rotates ±60°.
Can I change the color temperature?
Yes. Variable color temperature control runs from 6500K down to 2700K, and it also extends the CMY palette.
How many DMX channels does it use?
41 DMX channels, with 16-bit control of dimming, pan, and tilt. It also supports RDM and has 5-pin locking XLR data connections.
What power does it need?
100-240V, 50/60 Hz, with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 power input and thru. At 120V, 60 Hz it draws a typical 6.5A (778W).
What is the zoom range?
6° to 45°, motorized, with motorized focus.
How big and heavy is it?
16.4 × 11.4 × 28.9 in (416 × 290 × 734 mm) and 71.3 lb (32.3 kg).
Can it be used outdoors?
The protection rating is IP 20, so it is intended for indoor use or a protected location. The maximum ambient temperature is 104°F (40°C).
