Unpacking
The MAC Encore Performance is packed in a cardboard box that is designed to protect the fixture during
shipment. Two packaging options are available in the cardboard box – the fixture can be supplied in either:
• expanded polystyrene that is not intended for re-use, or
• a SIP (Superior Impact Protection) insert that is designed to be installed in the 2-unit Martin MAC Encore
Performance flightcase or custom-made flightcases.
This Safety and Installation Manual is included with the fixture. The MAC Encore Performance User Guide,
containing full details of setting up, controlling and monitoring the fixture, is available for download from the
MAC Encore Performance Product Support page on the Martin website at www.martin.com. If you have any
difficulty locating either of these two documents, please contact your Martin supplier for assistance.
Tilt lock
Release the tilt lock before applying power to the fixture.
See Figure 1. Release the tilt lock by pushing the lock in
towards the yoke (you can reapply the tilt lock by first
checking that the power is off and then pushing the lock
back in towards the yoke from the other side).
Packing
Important! Allow the fixture to cool and release the tilt lock
before packing it in its flightcase.
A rugged two-unit flightcase (see Figure 2) is available
from Martin for the MAC Encore™. The flightcase
accepts two durable molded SIP (Superior Impact
Protection) foam inserts that are supplied in cardboard boxes with fixtures if you select the SIP option at
time of ordering.
