When you’re managing high-end lighting gear like the Martin MAC Viper XIP, protection and functionality are non-negotiable. Listen Up Events Pty Ltd—one of Australia’s leading creative production companies—understands this firsthand. Known for delivering full-scale event solutions across corporate, public, and private sectors, Listen Up Events recently partnered with Armor Cases to build a custom transport case for a single MAC Viper XIP with SIP.
Purpose-built for the rigours of live event touring and high-frequency production demands, this case offers robust protection, convenient transport, and stackable efficiency—all wrapped in a sleek, road-ready design.
Designed for a Single Martin MAC Viper XIP with SIP
The transport case for 1x MAC Viper XIP with SIP is precision-engineered to cradle this powerful fixture. The MAC Viper XIP is a premium-grade luminaire known for its weatherproofing, crisp output, and versatility across stage and venue applications. Its size, weight, and value make a high-quality case an essential part of its lifecycle.
Our case features a custom-fit, foam-lined cavity that secures the fixture in place, limiting internal movement and absorbing impact during transit. Whether it’s moving across city venues or being flown across the country, this case ensures the MAC Viper XIP stays in peak condition.
Castor Dishes for Easy Stacking & Storage
Live event professionals need gear that stacks and stores efficiently. That’s why we integrated castor dishes into the case lid, allowing multiple cases to be stacked securely during transport or warehouse storage. This is especially valuable for production companies like Listen Up Events, who often manage multiple rigs simultaneously and need efficient load-ins and load-outs.
Built with Touring-Grade Hardware from Penn Elcom
No shortcuts were taken when it came to hardware. The case is assembled using Penn Elcom components, known worldwide for their reliability in demanding touring environments.
Medium recessed handles make lifting and maneuvering easy without catching on other gear.
Large latches offer firm and fast locking.
100mm castors—with a combination of braked and non-braked wheels—ensure smooth transport and safe positioning on uneven or sloped surfaces.
This thoughtful balance of mobility and control is a game-changer for crews operating in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.
Thermal Management with Ventilation
Lighting gear like the MAC Viper XIP generates significant heat during use, and managing that residual warmth during and after shows is key to prolonging its life. Our vented case design helps dissipate trapped heat, allowing the fixture to cool faster once packed down. This reduces the risk of heat buildup within the case, especially when packed shortly after use, and adds another layer of safety to the equipment’s care.
Practical Transport, Long-Term Protection
The transport case is built on Armor Cases’ philosophy: precision-fit interiors paired with heavy-duty exteriors. For Listen Up Events Pty Ltd—who routinely deliver high-calibre productions across Australia—this single-fixture case fits seamlessly into their broader logistics system.
By transporting the MAC Viper XIP in its own tailored enclosure, the risk of handling damage is dramatically reduced. It also streamlines the gear preparation process, letting the team stay focused on delivering immersive lighting experiences rather than worrying about whether equipment will arrive safely.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re an AV professional managing a touring production or a venue technician handling daily installs, the transport case for 1x MAC Viper XIP with SIP delivers peace of mind, practical design, and rugged durability. It’s more than a box—it’s a safeguard for one of your most powerful lighting assets.
