Introduction 3
I NTRODUCTION 1
Thank you for selecting the Martin Raptor. This Martin lighting fixture uses
a 250 watt halogen lamp, parabolic reflector, effect wheel, 3-color
triangular prism, and built-in microphone to project multiple sound-
activated beams of colored light.
The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during
shipment - always use it to transport the fixture.
The Raptor comes with:
• 500 hour halogen lamp (installed)
• mounting bracket
• power cable
• user manual
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The Raptor is not for household use. It is not a toy: it presents risks of
serious injury due to electric shock, high heat, and intense light. For safe
operation, read this manual before using the fixture and observe all
warnings and precautions printed here and on the fixture. If you have
questions about how to operate the fixture safely, please contact your
Martin distributor or dealer.
• For protection against dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be
grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall be fitted with a fuse or
circuit breaker and ground-fault protection.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes.
• Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out. Allow the fixture to
cool for 5 minutes before installing a new lamp.
• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least
30 cm (12 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well
away from the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) around the fan and air
vent.
• When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure
can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices and secure
the fixture with an approved safety cable. Block access below the work
area whenever installing or removing the fixture.
• When carrying the fixture, lock the mounting bracket securely and do not
place a hand over or under the triangular prism.
• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (39 inches) of the fixture.
• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature exceeds 40° C (104°
F).

AC power 5
AC POWER 2
Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must
be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall be fitted
with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault protection.
Verify that the power cables are undamaged and rated for the
current requirements of all connected devices before use.
The Raptor’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits
your power distribution cable or outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if
you have any doubts about proper installation.
The Raptor’s operating voltage is printed on the serial number label near
the AC input. Verify that the operating voltage closely matches the AC
supply voltage before applying power. Contact your Martin dealer if the
voltage on the label differs from the AC mains voltage by more than five
percent.
Important! Electric dimmers may damage the electronic components.
Although the Raptor cannot be dimmed, it may be switched on and off
remotely using switch packs or the full-on and full-off levels on dimmer
packs.
Installing a plug on the mains lead
Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow
and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire
to neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes.
Wire Pin Marking Screw color
brown live “L” yellow or brass
blue neutral “N” silver
yellow/green ground green

I NSTALLATION 3
The Raptor can be permanently installed with suitable 5 mm (3/16 in.)
hardware, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface.
For maximum lamp life, provide sufficient ventilation to keep the air around
the fixture below 40° C (104° F) and do not place the fixture directly on or
beside a loudspeaker.
There are two positions for attaching the bracket to the fixture. The high
position is recommended for mobile applications because it allows the
bracket to be folded down for transportation. The low position provides a
more compact fit that may be preferable when the fixture is permanently
installed.
INSTALLING THE MOUNTING
BRACKET
1 Place one plastic washer on each bracket stud.
2 Place the bracket over the studs as shown above.
3 Screw a swivel lock knob on each stud.

Installation 7
USING THE BRACKET AS A FLOOR
STAND
1 Install the mounting bracket in either position as described above.
2 Set the fixture upside-down on a stable surface. Adjust the mounting
bracket and tighten both swivel locks.
3 Verify that the fixture is at least 1 meter (39 in.) from the surface to be
illuminated and at least 0.3 meters (12 in.) from any combustible
materials. Verify that the clearance around all air vents and the cooling fan
is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.).
INSTALLING WITH A CLAMP OR
FASTENERS
Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding. Always
use a secure means of secondary attachment.
1 Verify that the structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all
installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.
2 If hanging the fixture with a clamp, verify that the clamp is undamaged
and can bear at least 10 times the fixture’s weight. Bolt the clamp securely
to the bracket with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut, or as
recommended by the clamp manufacturer, through the clamp hole in the
mounting bracket.
3 If permanently installing the fixture, verify that
the hardware (not included) and mounting
surface can bear at least 10 times the fixture’s
weight. The four 6 mm holes and the clamp
holes in the mounting bracket may be used.
4 Fasten the fixture to the structure. Install a
safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the
weight of the fixture through/over the support
and mounting bracket as shown.
5 Loosen the swivel locks, tilt the fixture to the desired angle, and retighten.
6 Verify that the fixture is at least 1 meter (39 in.) from the surface to be
illuminated and at least 0.3 meters (12 in.) from any combustible
materials. Verify that the clearance around the air vent and lamp access
plate is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.).

O PERATION 4
The Raptor is fully automated. The lamp turns on as soon as power is
applied and the effects start moving as soon as sound is picked up by the
built-in microphone. An Automatic Gain Control (AGC) adjusts sensitivity
when the average sound pressure alters.
Although the Raptor cannot be dimmed, it may be switched on and off
remotely using switch packs or the full-on and full-off levels on dimmer
packs.
Disconnect the fixture from AC power when not in use.
