The Clay Paky Mythos 2 is an advanced hybrid moving head fixture that functions as a high-performance spotlight and a powerful beam light. It is an evolution of the original Mythos, primarily featuring a more reliable and efficient lamp system.
Key Improvements
- New Lamp: The Mythos 2 uses the Osram Sirius HRI 440W X lamp, which was introduced to address reliability issues found in the original version’s 470W lamp.
- Electronics: It features upgraded ballast and firmware for more stable performance and better thermal management.
Core Technical Specifications
- Hybrid Operation: Seamlessly switches between a Spot (4° to 50° zoom) and a Beam (2.5° fixed “pipe” effect).
- Brightness: Capable of producing up to 24,000 lumens from its large 160mm front lens.
- Color System: Includes CMY color mixing, 14 special color filters on three wheels, and two CTO filters (3200K and 2500K) for precise temperature correction.
- Effects:
- Gobos: One wheel with 6 rotating dichroic gobos and another with 18+1 fixed metal gobos.
- Prisms: Two indexable rotating prisms (8-facet and linear 4-facet).
- Visual Effect Disc: An advanced animation disc that can be superimposed on gobos.
