ARRI M-Series M40 Basic Set

ARRI M-Series M40 Basic Set

A member of the ARRI M-Series, the M40 is a lens-less system that unifies the advantages of Fresnel and PAR fixtures. The unit is open- face and thus very bright: around 30 % brighter than an AS 40 in spot. Due to its unique, patented MAX Technology reflector, it is also focussable over a range of 18° to 52° Half Peak Angle. The M40 gives a remarkably even beam spread that casts crisp shadows over the whole focus range. The reflector characteristics is optimised for 4,000 W lamps, but can also be used with 2,500 W lamps. The elimination of heavy but fragile spread lenses makes the lamphead ideal for rough location use, speeds up the work flow and reduces total cost of ownership. The M40 is equipped with a module (Compensation of Cable Losses). In the combination with the ARRI EB MAX 2.5/4 the system reliably compensates losses over long cable lenghts of up to 100 m (330 ft). This keeps the lamp power constant for maximum output and best colour rendition.

In order to hold even the heaviest accessories safely in place, the M40 has a tubular steel yoke and two disc brakes. Equipped with robust steel handles on both sides - same as M90 - the design offers best handling and grip with all weather and application conditions. The M40 has the same accessory diameter as the AS 40 so that existing barndoors and scrims can be reused. Like all True Blue ARRI lampheads, the M40 implements Cross- Cooling and allows thus safe operation even at extreme tilt angles. The electronics housing is spaced apart from the actual lamp housing to keep temperatures down and prolong the lifetime of electronic components. It is easy to open and to maintain. For outdoor use the M40’s IP23-rated weather resistance withstands even driven rain.

For Daylight Systems ARRI offers an extended warranty of 5 years.
