ARRI M90 9000W HMI Kit

The ARRI M90 9000W HMI Kit uses lens-less MAX technology to combine the characteristics of a Fresnel and PAR source. With a focus range of 16-49°, normally only achieved with supplementary lenses, the M90 performs like a traditional 12K with the compact form factor of a 6K head. Innovations include CCL, which compensates for power loss when using long cables and Cross Cooling which separates the electronics from the lamp housing, thus ensuring greater longevity of the head and lamp.

The 6/9K Electronic ballast with ALF and DMX has been streamlined and packed with features like CCL to compensate for power loss over long cable runs and Active Line Filter to counter electromagnetic interference. Since the M90 can accept either of Osram's 6K or 9K lamps, the EB 6/9K features automatic detection of both lamps and lamp heads. There's also a low noise mode and DMX on/off and 100-50% dimming control. To help you monitor the unit while shooting, it has LED indicators for input voltage, protective earth, over temperature, lamp on, detected lamp, and low noise mode as well as an illuminated on/off switch.

ARRI M90 HMI Head

With power that positions it between the M40 and the ARRIMAX 18/12, the M90 HMI Lamp Head from ARRI employs faceted MAX Reflector Technology that focuses from 15 to 49 degrees, combining the best qualities of a Fresnel and PAR fixture to produce an output similar to a 12,000W light from a 9,000W lamp.The IP23 weather-resistant M90 ships with a yoke with a 1-1/8" Junior mounting pin. Tilt lock levers on both sides of the light firmly secure the weighty 88 lb fixture.

The M90 requires a ballast for use and 2 are available. Both units employ CCL (Compensation of Cable Losses) to maintain power with long cable runs independent of their length. They also feature a power-saving Active Line Filter (ALF) and built-in DMX for remote operation from a console. The standard EB 6/9 operates at 50, 60 and 75 Hz while the 1000 Hz high speed version allows up to 1,000 flicker-free frames per second.
