MARTIN ELP MANET 8F

The Martin ELP MANET 8f is an LED stage and studio Fresnel fixture for delivering precision beam control with class-leading color accuracy in theater, broadcast, and live production environments.

From the Manufacturer

The ELP MANET 8f from Martin Professional redefines static fixture lighting with precision beam control. Inspired by the Latin stage direction "it remains," it pays tribute to Shakespearean theater and timeless storytelling. Combining classic tungsten-style output with modern LED efficiency, it features a six-color LED light engine for a rich, refined palette and a TM-30 Rf of 95 and a CRI score of 98. A carefully designed 8-inch (200 mm) Fresnel lens, 9° to 50° zoom, and anti-reflective barn doors deliver smooth, artifact-free fades. With ultra-quiet operation, intuitive controls, and wireless configuration via Martin's Companion App, the ELP MANET 8f offers unmatched performance, flexibility, and artistry—ensuring every moment remains unforgettable.

The innovative six-color light engine featuring red, green, blue, amber, lime, and cyan LEDs delivers a best-in-class TM-30 Rf of 95 and a CRI score of 98 for consistent, vibrant color from saturated primaries to delicate pastels across the full color-temperature spectrum. Precise color-temperature adjustment from 1,850 K to 12,500 K in 50 K increments ensures seamless transitions between warm and cool whites, fully tracking the blackbody line via the onboard calibration system. Despite delivering over 13,000 lumens of output, the ELP MANET 8f's ultra-quiet cooling system makes it ideal even for the most noise-sensitive theaters, opera houses, and broadcast studios.
