Martin MAC III AirFX User Manual page 43

Gobo orientation
The orientations shown in Figure 27 are correct in most cases, but consult your Martin dealer or gobo
supplier if you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type. To minimize the risk of heat
damage, priority must be given to installing gobos with their more reflective sides facing the lamp.
The heavy matted aluminum coated borosilicate gobos in the MAC III AirFX are
factory-installed with the more reflective sides facing towards the lamp. Replacement
gobos must also be installed with more reflective sides facing the lamp.
More reflective side towards lamp
To minimize the risk of gobo overheating
and damage, turn the more reflective side of
a coated gobo towards the lamp.
Textured side towards lamp
Textured glass gobos in the MAC III AirFX sit most squarely in the gobo wheel with the
textured side towards the lamp. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier.
