Using for the first time
Important! The MAC Aura must be protected from environmental factors such as physical shocks
and vibration during transportation and storage to a level of protection equal to that provided by
Martin brand flightcases.
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing
the MAC Aura. Before applying power to the fixture:
• Check the Martin Professional website at www.martin.com for the most recent user documentation and
technical information about the MAC Aura. Martin user manual revisions are identified by the revision
letter at the bottom of page 2.
• Carefully review “Safety Information” starting on page 3.
• Check that the local AC mains power source is within the fixture’s power voltage and frequency ranges.
• See “Power cables and power plug” on page 8. Install a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA power input
connector on a suitable power cable. If drawing power from a mains power outlet, install a suitable power
plug on the power cable.
