MAC Ultra Performance Safety and Installation Manual

Goboholder and gobo orientation, Gobo Wheel 1 (Aerial Wheel)

• Gobo Wheel 1 is the wheel that is closest to the LED light source.

• The side of the goboholder with the gobo retaining spring and with the teeth faces towards the LED light 

source.

• The shiny side of the gobo faces towards the spring and towards the teeth in the goboholder so that it 

faces towards the LED light source.

• The white, non-reflective side of the gobo faces away from the spring and away from the teeth in the 

goboholder so that it faces towards the front lens. 

Goboholder and gobo orientation, Gobo Wheel 2 (Breakup Wheel)

• Gobo Wheel 2 is the wheel that is closest to the front lens.

• The side of the goboholder with the gobo retaining spring and without the teeth faces towards the LED 

light source.

• The shiny side of the gobo faces towards the spring and away from the teeth in the goboholder so that it 

faces towards the LED light source.

• The white, non-reflective side of the gobo faces away from the spring and towards the teeth in the 

goboholder so that it faces towards the front lens. 

Gobo orientation, Wheels 1 and 2

On both gobo wheels in the MAC Ultra Performance:

• Images or text on gobos must appear correctly (i.e. not flipped left to right) when looking at the 

goboholder from the side with the spring.

• The textured side of textured glass gobos must always face towards the spring. The flat side of textured 

gobos must face downwards so that the gobo sits flat in the goboholder.

Gobo alignment

See Figure 19. Note 
the position of the 
alignment marks 
(arrowed) on 
goboholders and 
gobos. Install gobos 
with the alignment 
marks next to each 
other.

Gobo replacement 
procedure

Avoid getting grease from your fingers or dirt 
onto gobos. Hold gobos by their edges only. 
Wear clean nitrile cleanroom gloves when 
handling gobos.

To replace a gobo in a goboholder:

1. See Figure 20. Place the goboholder on a 

clean surface with the recess for the gobo 
and gobo spring facing upwards. Note the 
position of the bends (arrowed) in the ends of 
the gobo retaining spring. Using a plastic 
lever to avoid scratching the gobo, lever one 
end of the retaining spring out of the groove 
in the goboholder and lift the retaining spring 
out of the goboholder.
