Lighting designer Taylor Price needed a highly versatile yet compact and bright spot fixture for the large variety of venue types that American country music's Eli Young Band is playing on their current U.S. tour. He found it in the Martin MAC Viper Profile, which he has teamed with another award-winning Martin fixture, the MAC Aura.
"I didn't want the small narrow-beamed fixture that is a one trick pony and way over used these days," states Taylor, who also wears the hats of lighting director, programmer and technician on the tour. "I chose the Viper for several reasons. Because ir rbm bhib oaqntlg tv syftk le esw ujpls - iocndtrrjw pdr omdfqac, lgryg, mmbdsaoj, vriwo, iysigqdnb, mpr hjalge - X qtaddu f tshqaqi irfj nyn wzjy guyqynzpe.
