ELC Lighting’s Green-Go system installed at Brisbane’s Nexus Church
A series of Green-Go digital intercom products from ELC Lighting have congregated at Nexus Church in Brisbane, Australia, to aid clear and directed communication between the team of AV operators. The church offers its 1,500-strong-congregation music and Bible-based training services across three sites and online, with an on-stage set up that features large LED and IMAG screens, a professional sound system and concert venue-like lighting. The technology is manned by a team of volunteers.
“The existing analogue, party line system was stretched to its limit and was no longer suitable - we needed more customisation and expandability”, says Andy Rogers from Brisbane Sound Group, which specified and supplied the Green-Go system. Rogers designed a system based on Green-Go Beltpack X and Wireless Beltpack X units, Green-Go Multi-Channel Rack Stations, a Green-Go Dante interface, Green-Go Headsets along with Wireless Antenna and battery charging units.
The team now has communication options from the in-room Production Booth, Video Control Room, Broadcast Audio Studio and the on-stage worship team. With the configured group and priority channels, it allows all the relevant team members - and only the relevant team members - to hear queues and quickly communicate technical issues.
“With 16-20 production team members rostered across three Sunday Services, as well as mid-week ministry events and large-scale conference events, the system is used regularly”, says Rogers. “Digital signal transmission means you can hear clearly in all production environments. We previously had a very high noise floor from analogue systems piggybacked across each other. That went away overnight using Green-Go.”
Rogers says that being network based and POE, deployment of the Green-Go products was straight forward with only a minor expansion to the church’s existing network infrastructure: “The Green-Go Dante Interface opened communication to the on-stage worship team, suddenly allowing for more accurate start queues and faster emergency communication, all resulting in less running around and stress at those key moments.”
“One unexpected benefit of adding Dante capability was the ability to improve our sound check process”, he continues. “With better and clearer communication, our soundcheck times became very consistent and predictable, allowing refinement of the process and we began hitting our service start times on time, every time. These small improvements go a long way to making the pastoral and eldership teams happy.”
Since the church invested in the new system, the Green-Go rack units have been in constant “on” usage. The team of AV volunteers were given basic training to configure and use the Green-Go system.

Jahnstadion Regensburg erhält Gantom-Beleuchtungsanlage
.jpg)
Das 2015 eröffnete, 15.210 Zuschauer fassende Jahnstadion in Regensburg ist ein modernes Fußballstadion und Heimstätte des Zweitligisten SSV Jahn Regensburg. Abseits der Spieltage wird das Stadion auch als Veranstaltungszentrum genutzt. So stehen zwei Business Clubs mit 1000 qm und 300 qm für verschiedene Anlässe zur Verfügung. Um konkurrenzfähig zu bleiben, investiert der Betreiber des Jahnstadions, die Stadtwerk Regensburg Bäder und Arenen GmbH, regelmäßig in die bestehende Infrastruktur.
Um die Ambientebeleuchtung in den Hospitality-Bereichen zu optimieren, wurden kürzlich 14 Gantom GP292 DMX V2 RGBW installiert. Konkret ging es darum, einzelne Säulen und Durchgänge mit schrägen Wandelementen dezent farbig zu beleuchten. Zuvor wurden diese Aufgaben von portablen Floorlights übernommen, die jedoch das Erscheinungsbild der Räume störten und in den Durchgangsbereichen zudem als Hindernis in Erscheinung traten. Daher wünschte man sich eine festinstallierte Lösung.
Sebastian Graf (Foto), Betriebsleiter des Jahnstadions, entdeckte auf einem Messebesuch am Stand von Cast die Gantom-typisch sehr kleinen 4-Watt-LED-Scheinwerfer. Nach anschließender Bemusterung fiel die Wahl auf die Gantom GP292 DMX V2 RGBW. Die Installation von insgesamt 14 Gantom GP292 DMX V2 RGBW erfolgte im August/September 2022. Die Leuchten wurden per Pr oCable System verkabelt und installiert. Über zwei zentrale Gantom GP002 G8 Distribution Boxes werden sternförmig je sieben Gantom Spots über ein gemeinsames Hybridkabel mit Spannung und DMX-Steuersignal versorgt. Dieses wird zuvor von CASAMBI zu DMX gewandelt, sodass die Scheinwerfer mit der CASAMBI-App mobil über Tablet oder Smartphone gesteuert werden können. Durch den internen RGBW LED-Chip der Gantom kann so die jeweils benötige Farbe frei nach Wunsch und passend zum CI des Endkunden eingestellt werden. Die Installation konnte letztlich mit Hilfe des telefonischen Supports von Cast selbst vorgenommen werden.

Meyer Sound installiert weltweit größtes Panther System im Xcel Energy Center
Die US-amerikanische Eishockey-Mannschaft Minnesota Wild der National Hockey League (NHL) hat ein neues Beschallungssystem mit 96 Panther Line-Array-Lautsprechern in ihrer Heimspielstätte, dem Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, installiert. Die Premiere der derzeit weltweit größten Panther Installation fand am 1. November 2022 beim Spiel der Minnesota Wild gegen die Montreal Canadiens statt. Geliefert wurde das System von Sound Associates aus Yonkers, New York.
Die neuen Meyer Sound Lautsprecher ersetzen ein altes Point-Source-System, das bei der Eröffnung der rund 18.000 Plätze fassenden Arena im Jahr 2000 installiert wurde. "Wir hatten ein günstiges System mit veralteter Technologie", sagt Jim Pfitzinger, der Ingenieur der IATSE Local 13, der seit der Eröffnung der Arena die Spiele der Wilds abgemischt hat und ein wichtiger Berater für das Upgrade-Projekt war. "Das Managementteam hatte die Systeme in neueren Arenen gehört und den Unterschied bemerkt. Unser altes System war zwar immer noch verständlich und brauchbar, aber es fehlte ihm an echter Power."
Als im Frühjahr 2022 die nötigen finanziellen Mittel zur Verfügung standen, beauftragte das Management Jim Pfitzinger, ein neues System zu beschaffen. Pfitzinger beriet sich hierfür mit Domonic Sack von Sound Associates über die möglichen Optionen. Trotz bekannter weltweiter Produktionsengpässe konnte Meyer Sound das gewünschte System rechtzeitig liefern. In nur elf Tagen war das gesamte System verkabelt, aufgehängt und eingemessen, gerade rechtzeitig zum Start der Saison.
"Dom hatte die Panther Demo von Meyer Sound in Las Vegas gehört und war überzeugt, dass dieses System die geeignete Lösung für die Arena sei", sagt Pfitzinger. "Wir wollten Line Arrays mit geringem Platzbedarf, wenig Stromverbrauch und geringem Gewicht. Self-powered Lautsprecher standen ganz oben auf der Liste, da wir buchstäblich Tonnen von Verstärkern und Kupferkabeln in der Decke hatten, die wir nicht herausnehmen konnten, bis das neue System betriebsbereit war. Außerdem mussten wir alles mit Motoren auf- und abbewegen. Panther passte also in jeder Hinsicht ins Konzept." Domonic Sack ergänzt: "Das Ziel war, Reflexionen zu minimieren, die Verständlichkeit zu erhöhen und den effektiven Frequenzgang von 40 Hz bis zu 16 kHz zu erweitern. Wir wollten ein System, das auch bei maximalen Pegeln noch genügend Headroom hat."
Unter Verwendung des MAPP 3D System Design & Prediction Tools wurden die Details von Domonic Sack in Absprache mit Bob McCarthy, Director of System Optimization bei Meyer Sound, und Design Services Supervisor Alex Harbaugh ausgearbeitet. Das installierte System besteht aus acht Hangs mit je 12 Panther Lautsprechern, die alle mit dem 80°-L-Horn ausgestattet sind. Die Bässe werden gleichmäßig in der ganzen Arena von zwei Hangs mit je neun 1100 LFC Low-Frequency Control Elements in Cardioid-Konfiguration wiedergegeben. Das gesamte System ist für die Steuerung, Überwachung und das Audiosignal über das Milan-AVB-Protokoll vernetzt und verfügt über ein redundantes analoges Backup.
Zwei weitere wichtige Mitglieder des Projektteams waren Metropolitan Interactive, die unter der Leitung von Jeff Mele für das Rigging-Design verantwortlich waren, und Geiger Engineering, die die strukturelle Integrität aller Rigging-Punkte sicherstellten. Mitglieder der IATSE Local 13 waren mit dem Einbau des Systems beauftragt.

World premiere: Sydney' Abercrombie hotel installs Mezzo A+
Powersoft's new AES67-enabled amplifier platforms, including the enhanced A+ versions of its half-size Mezzo range, have made their global debut at the recently reopened Abercrombie hotel in Sydney, Australia.
The Abercrombie, located in the inner-Sydney suburb of Chippendale, traces its roots back to 1843, when it opened as the Australian Inn. The current, art-deco building, on the old Carlton United Brewery site, was completed in 1938 and served as a much-loved watering hole and live entertainment venue until its closure in 2014. It was acquired by hospitality group Solotel in 2016 and reopened - two years late, as a result of Sydney's on-off corona virus lockdowns _ with a 36-hour launch party in December 2022. The new-look Abercrombie comprises three venues: A ground-floor club space, public bar and beer garden; late-night cocktail lounge and rooftop terrace Casa Rosa; and Lil Sis, a aperitivo wine bar inspired by the caves à vin of Paris.
Tasked with delivering a state-of-the-art AV system worthy of the Abercrombie's multimillion-dollar redevelopment were Production Audio Video Technology (PAVT), Australian distributor for Powersoft, EAW, Atlas IED, Symetrix and Radio Design Labs, and local system integrator Beyond AV, who inherited "a very difficult acoustic environment" complicated both by the age of the property and the presence of new residential buildings around it, explains PAVT's business development manager, Dave Coxon. "Additionally", he adds, "The Abercrombie's original hotel rooms remain in the upper two levels, creating many small spaces requiring multiple amp channels."
Amplification is Powersoft throughout, comprising 16 Mezzo 604 A+ and 13 Quattrocanali 1204 DSP+ amplifiers, all AES67 compatible, as well as two high-performance X8s. The Powersoft amplifiers, explains Coxon, are installed in two rack rooms, with all equipment (plus Netgear AV switches) fitting into a single rack at each location. Needing a "truly waterproof" loudspeaker for the two large outdoor areas, PAVT specified a combination Atlas IED’s SM82 range with EAW subwoofers (SB120/150 WP), while a Function One EVO X system was installed in the main room. The new A+ models are the latest additions to the Mezzo range, which offers the the same reliability, build quality and acoustic character of larger Powersoft amplifier platforms but in a half-size form factor.

Det Ny Teater invests in Robe
Copenhagen's Det Ny Teater (The New Theatre) has recently invested substantially in new Robe moving lights with the purchase of 16 Robe T1 Profiles that have joined the house rig together with an additional 20 Spiiders (bringing the total to 30). Also new are two Robo Spot systems with two T1 Profile Follow Spots, plus 11 Tetra 2 moving LED battens and 18 LED Beam 350s.
This was possible thanks to financing via the AP Møller Foundation which was started in 1953 by ship owner AP Møller and his wife Chastine McKinney Møller to support areas of importance to them, including buildings of historical and cultural value and a number of other cultural criteria. The fixtures were delivered by Robe's Danish distributor Light Partner. All these fixtures are in daily use to facilitate Ny Teater's busy repertory schedule.
Located centrally in the vibrant Danish capital, the cosy 1000-capacity venue actually dates to 1908 explained Kasper Blicher Beknes (photo), deputy CEO and as the venue's former technical manager who is still integrally involved in every aspect of its operation. Since starting there in 1996 Kasper has taken on many technical and administrative roles and is passionate about all aspects of Det Ny Teater and its impressive heritage.
Like many theatres, the shift to LED has been measured. "Until now, we always had an issue with the last 50 % of the LED dimming curve," Kasper admits, in the same breath saying T1 is the first fixture they've seen where "you genuinely can't tell the difference," adding that the brightness and volume of LED light sources has "advanced massively" even just in the last five years. Apart from the desire - and increased requirement - to be as sustainable as possible, the power saving of LEDs was a big advantage in the quest of getting the fixtures into Det Ny Teater. The old conventional HMI follow spots on the second balcony were well overdue for replacement. The noise they made was a constant issue with audiences as well as the associated intercom and operator chatter.
Kasper and his team, including current head of lighting John PG Jónsson, also saw the value of being able to use different Robe lights on the same Robo Spot system, and Robo Spot has been a great hit with all the incoming lighting designers so far who have been keen to use it.

Red South Beach Thrives with Sound by DAS Audio
Favored by locals and tourists alike, Red South Beach in Miami, Florida, is the place to celebrate life's greatest occasions or to enjoy the simple pleasure of great food and drink. To help set the ideal mood, the venue recently had a new sound system by DAS Audio installed.
Event Concierge Group, an AV integration firm and special events production house based out of Miami, was contracted to install the new sound system at Red South Beach. After consulting with Chef Peter Vauthy to ascertain how the new system would be used, the decision was made to deploy DAS Audio OVI-12 pendant speakers and Q-10 subwoofers from the Quantum Installation Series. Joshua Rose, owner and creative director for Event Concierge Group, discussed the project and his reasons for selecting DAS Audio.
"Our biggest concern was ensuring the restaurant has a rich and consistent sound throughout the entire space - but at a background level," Rose explained. "It was critically important that the new system deliver excellent speech intelligibility and full, rich music reproduction. In addition to their sound quality, the OVI-12 speakers were the right choice because of their ability to be wall mounted, placed in ceiling structures, or be suspended as a pendant speaker. The Q-10 subwoofer is an equally versatile and compact design that afforded us flexibility as we determined where and how to deploy the various speakers."
Ultimately, the ECG installation crew installed a total of 24 OVI-12 loudspeakers and 16 Q-10 Quantum subs throughout the venue - all hanging from the ceiling. "In total there are seven zones: the wine room, a private glass enclosed space with an 80-inch television, two smaller glass enclosed private dining rooms, the outside seating area, the restrooms, as well as the kitchen, for staff to enjoy."
"In addition to the need for solid music reproduction capability," Rose said, "the space routinely gets rented to corporate clientele for talks, meetings, and similar business functions. For this type of application, if the person leading the meeting and other personnel can't clearly be heard and understood, nothing gets accomplished. Another reason was aesthetics, these speakers disappear into the black ceiling and make the entire place feel warm and inviting."
The DAS Audio installation at Red South Beach took place in July 2022 and since that time the system's performance has received rave reviews from all who experience it. "This system is all networked through Dante and is capable of handling more than will likely ever be required of it. When it comes time for the client to need or want more, this system is ready."

Genelec supports exhibition at Siida Museum, Lapland
The Sámi Museum and Nature Centre (Siida) is one of Northern Lapland's most popular destinations. Dedicated to the culture of Lapland's indigenous Sámi people, Siida has recently undergone significant renovation and expansion to accommodate increased visitor numbers and to bring the establishment into line with modern standards. As part of the process, Oulu-based technical systems specialists Caverion Suomi Oy supplied and installed a comprehensive Genelec Smart IP loudspeaker solution on a Dante AoIP backbone. Sound designer Aki Päivärinne from Oioi Collective (experts in interactive experience design) was responsible for the sound design for the new exhibits.
The Sámi people live in harmony with the lands they inhabit. Their traditional livelihoods include coastal fishing, fur trapping, sheep herding, and of course, semi-nomadic reindeer herding. The newly renovated museum building houses an all-new exhibition where culture fuses with nature, using the latest in museum technology to showcase and celebrate Sámi heritage. Principal architect of the new exhibition is industrial designer Harri Koskinen, who has collaborated closely with Genelec for many years.
"My brief was to recreate a soundscape reflecting the multifaceted sounds of nature in Lapland, and design a technical solution for it,” explains Päivärinne. “I knew that the open museum hall environment would be an interesting acoustic and thematic challenge since all of the seasons are presented in the very same room." Indeed, Sámi culture celebrates not four but eight distinct seasons which dictate the rhythm of life for Sámi people.
"I wanted to create a soundscape that would render a natural and authentic backdrop for the exhibition which puts the Sámi culture into context," he continues. "Considering that the Sámi still live in close connection with nature, an interplay between nature and culture seemed like an appropriate starting point."
When it came to implementing the sound design, Päivärinne chose Genelec: "It's a Finnish brand, and in a museum that is celebrating indigenous culture in an exhibition designed by Harri Koskinen, it would be sacrilegious to use anything else. It was also a foregone conclusion that we would be using Smart IP technology because the newly renovated technical infrastructure of Siida is based entirely on Ethernet cabling - making it very easy for us to plug into the same network."
Lauri Riihiaho led the team from Caverion responsible for the Dante network and loudspeaker installation throughout the building. He was impressed by the ease and speed of installation of the Smart IP loudspeakers. "Our brief was to install the loudspeakers and configure the network switches for Dante. We installed a total of thirty 4430s plus a pair of 8010s for one of the Sámi cultural displays and a 7040 subwoofer that plays out Sámi shamanic drum sounds. Genelec's Smart IP Manager software was used to configure the loudspeakers. A Picturall Mark II media server equipped with a 32 x 32 Dante card acts as the main hub to run all of the museum's media content. We connected the loudspeakers to the Dante outputs of the media server and that was it - our job was done."
"Smart IP is impressive technology," continues Riihiaho. "You only need one CAT cable to connect the speaker to the network. You don’t even need to worry about power outlets as that same cable delivers power via PoE along with the audio and control signals. Consequently, a Smart IP solution is actually a cost-effective option compared to a traditional analogue audio system, as you save money on cabling as well as installation time."

Ontario's CHCH television unveils new studio with Elation lighting system
CHCH, a television station located in Ontario, Canada, produces unique local news content every week, positioning itself as a prominent news source for Hamilton and the surrounding areas. To enhance its broadcasting capabilities, the station recently inaugurated a versatile studio space and equipped it with broadcast-optimized lighting from Elation Professional. The lighting solution delivers white light suitable for broadcasting purposes and also enables full-color functionality as required.
Aaron McCormack, the lighting designer for CHCH's newly constructed studio, has prior experience working with Elation fixtures from his time at a production company in St. Catharines, Ontario. The team at CHCH demoed several fixtures from a variety of companies. According to McCormack, they were seeking basic yet high-quality lights to illuminate the television set and were confident the Elation fixtures would adequately fulfill their requirements.
After finalizing their camera selection (4K resolution), it was determined that approximately 60-80 foot candles of light on the talent was required. "The KL Panel soft light provided the output that we were looking for and the quality of light", the designer states. “Most of the set is lit with these and we use the Elation KL Fresnel 6 CW as key lights to provide depth and also as backlights."
In addition, the team utilized Six Bar 1000 battens to furnish accent lighting around the primary area of the set located behind the two anchors. McCormack emphasized the significance of these battens as they have the flexibility to change color and are incredibly versatile. Also included in the install and used for data distribution are Netron RDM 6XL DMX/RDM splitters from Obsidian Control Systems.
CHCH's Kitchen Studio, which serves as a platform for local chefs and advertising partners to prepare and demonstrate their products, is yet another newly built studio that incorporates Elation lighting fixtures. The kitchen set features a combination of TVL Softlight DW and KL Fresnel 4 CW fixtures suspended on a straight bar at the front of the set and used for focused key and back lights.
CHCH collaborated with Jason Rose and his team from AV Shop Canada, a company that provides commercial audiovisual products to end-users and integrators nationwide. AV Shop served as a sourcing partner on the CHCH studio project, assisting with product recommendations, sourcing demo units, and ultimately fulfilling the order. The installation was handled internally by CHCH.
In April 2022, the CHCH TV team began broadcasting from their new state-of-the-art studio. The Elation lights are utilized for various programs, including Morning Live, Evening News at 6 & 11, and Trending Now, as well as the Kitchen Studio. Dave Mydlo, CHCH Special Projects Supervisor on the new build, reports that the installation has been highly effective, with the fixtures operating consistently over almost a year of daily use for around 8 hours each day.

Zagorje Cultural Hall invests in Robe T1s and LEDBeam 350s
The "Delavski dom Zagorje" Cultural Centre venue was opened in 1960 in the Slovenian town of Zagorje tucked away in the Central Sava Valley, once one of the country's principal mining regions. Originally built as an entertainment space for the mining community living in this and surrounding towns, it now thrives as a municipal hub for performing arts, staging a multitude of shows and events including cinema, theatre, dance, music and visual arts.
The New Robe moving lights - Robe T1 Profiles and LEDBeam 350s - were part of a major technical refurbishment also involving all the stage machinery for their 460-seat main hall. These are the first moving lights in the house and replace a lot of older lighting technology, some dating back to the 1960s. The installation took place in 2021, whilst the Cultural Hall was closed due to the pandemic, so they re-opened this year with a brand new fully contemporary setup, which is proving invaluable and has upped the production value for everyone from the artists to the audience.
The stage machinery upgrade included new lighting hoists to automate selected lighting bars, so six out of the venue's 22 lighting bars can now be brought to the stage level meaning less working at heights, speeding up changeovers and dramatically increasing the overall flexibility for productions, explained manager Karmen Cestnik (right). They were not previously aware of this specific Robe fixture, but were very interested in offering a range of Robe solutions by Slovenian distributor MK Light Sound, from which Cestnik and the venue's chief technician Gregor Troha (left) picked the T1 Profile and LEDBeam 350.
The first shows in the re-opened venue were a mix of rock and pop bands plus some more subtle singer/songwriters and unplugged shows. Before Covid, The Zagorje Cultural Hall would have up to 80 artists per month to perform, mostly in their main hall with some in the smaller one, amounting to approximately 800-900 events per year. They gradually ramped back over this year and expect to be doing that number and more in the future to make up for the lost time, as there is no shortage of demand for live entertainment in Slovenia.
The Cultural Hall is partly self-funded and partly funded by the Ministry of Culture. The resulting stage and lighting installation have dramatically increased the production values offered by this busy regional hotspot for live talent.

Astera NYX Bulbs for Indigo Teatro production in Malaga
Spanish lighting designer Antonio Arrabal (AAI, Lighting Designers Association of Spain) used Astera NYX Bulbs to illuminate a series of scenic spheres that were an integral narrative element of the Indigo Teatro company’s latest production, “Viaje al Planeta de Todo es Posible”, which premiered at the Cánovas Theatre in Malaga. The Spanish distributor is Earpro&EES.
The production, aimed at children aged between 5 and 12, was created by Indigo Teatro’s artistic director Celia Almohalla with whom Arrabal collaborated closely on evolving the show aesthetic, together with set designer Isabel Soto.
Lighting plays a fundamental and strategic role in the storytelling, dramaturgy and impact of the work which is set on a different planet. The performance space is transformed into a magical and mysterious environment, with lighting creating different moods and textures.
One of the narrative threads requires the characters to interact with fifteen magical spheres which needed lighting for their leading role in the drama. The spheres are a variety of different sizes, some are larger at around 25 cm and are part of the set pieces, while others are slightly smaller, about 15 cm in diameter, and these are carried and moved around by the cast.
The spheres are used constantly throughout the show and interact with the action by changing colour or intensity or blinking as if talking and communicating with each other. They are controlled via the lighting console receiving the CRMX signal from the AsteraBox.
It was the first time that Arrabal had used NYX Bulbs, and he says programming them to be part of the show magic was some challenge. “We are talking more than 200 main cues that interact with about twenty cue lists with between five and twenty-five cues each, plus effects that bring the spheres to life”, he explains. The NYX Bulbs are present throughout the entire hour-long show, together with several conventional luminaires and twelve moving heads.
Part drama, part musical, “Viaje al Planeta de Todo es Posible” was nominated and a finalist entry at the Lorca Awards 2022 for Best Lighting and Set Design.

450 Astera NYX Bulbs for National Museum of Australia installation
A light art installation created by Ben Cisterne and comprising 450 Astera NYX Bulbs graces the ceiling of the newest “Great Southern Land” permanent gallery at the National Museum of Australia (NMA) in Canberra. Cisterne was commissioned to create this special work with the exhibition designer, Fernanda Reis of Local Projects based in New York.
Cisterne, who also lit the other elements of the Great Southern Lands Gallery, has worked with the NMA Canberra team led by NMA assistant director for the Discovery & Collections division, Katherine McMahon, and Suzanne Myers responsible for management and development of the Museum’s permanent galleries, for close to twenty years. This has been at the NMA and other cultural institutions.
In this new NMA light art installation, the NYX bulbs provide a living/breathing animated and illuminated trail for guests navigating the exhibition space that is a visual contrast to the intricate, practical but still dramatic lighting of the various exhibits around the rest of the vast gallery.
Wireless DMX was vital as it was always intended to run specific video imagery through the installation as well as lighting sequences, and the controllability had to be accurate, so “Astera and wireless DMX was an obvious route”, says Cisterne.
The murmuration features two essential gently asymmetric conjoined shapes. Fernanda Reis developed the first one and Ben Cisterne the second, which consume 300 and 150 NYX Bulbs respectively. Reis also suggested some key co-ordinates and dimensions like the height of the installation and how far off the floor it should be, both to integrate with the overall gallery architecture and other exhibition elements, and for it to stand out as an artwork in its own right.
The NYX Bulbs are all hung on cloth pendant light cables. They are powered via the exhibition lighting tracks already put in place when the gallery was built, with data run over Art-Net via a Stardust CRMX controller to a Pharos touch panel interface.
In addition to the standard operating murmuration patterns running through the NYX Bulbs, some special sequences are pre-programmed for events and private functions. The video sources and lighting sequences were programmed via the Pharos FX engine.

Gian Carlo Vannetti uses Obsidian Control’s Onyx platform for various projects
Novellara, Italy-based lighting designer Gian Carlo Vannetti specializes in creating theatrical lighting designs using Obsidian Control Systems’ Onyx platform. He owns several Onyx-driven products including an NX Wing, NX Touch, M-Play, NX DMX, and Netron EP4.
Currently, Vannetti works on the theater side of the industry, collaborating with a dance company that has a creative approach to light. He is using Onyx on three productions - “Indaco”, “Boomerang”, and “Canova Svelato” - with a fourth, “H2 Omix”, coming in May 2023. They all feature transparent screens that reflect video and imagery but also create a mirror effect when dancers are near, complementing the choreography with visuals.
Two on-stage projectors pass effects through transparent screens toward the audience with one at FOH for mapping of the entire theater. “My way of creating these types of shows is through Onyx with a cuelist that has a lot happening, delays and timings on fixture parameters, and if I need some unique FX I have Dylos.”

CupOJoy selects Martin Audio WPS for permanent sound installation
Some 33 years after it was founded, the 550-seat CupOJoy live music venue in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has taken delivery of its first permanently installed sound system in the larger space within the two-auditorium venue to which it relocated two years ago (having successively occupied two previous locations).
Part of a complete audio-visual fit-out masterminded by local system integrators CCCP (Camera Corner), a Martin Audio Wavefront Precision WPS line array was specified. The facility is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers; a two-year fund-raising programme led up to the investment.
CCCP’s Steve Littlepage was tech head and system designer. He detailed two WPS line array hangs, seven elements per side, driven in single box resolution from two Martin Audio iKon iK81 amplifiers (with channel 8 of each iK81 used to drive DD6 front fills). These are set either at the edge of the stage, or operate on a thrust with a different system preset.
Four SX218 subwoofers, driven by the iK42, are flown in an end-fire configuration and aligned with the arrays. For system set-up and optimisation, CCCP used Martin Audio’s Display 2 and 3 software (for 3D modelling of the space). This was backed up by Ease plots.
As part of the requirement, CCCP also provided new projector, screen and PTZ cameras, and created a flexible infrastructure for touring productions to patch into the system with their control. This will also be networked to CupOJoy’s smaller 200-cap venue across the hall, where an appropriate PA is installed. A Q-Sys backbone provides system flexibility between Performance mode for concerts and a Presentation mode via touch panel or iPad app, for corporate events.

San Diego State University’s new Snapdragon Stadium equipped with EAW AC6 loudspeakers
San Diego State University recently completed its new 35,000-seat college football venue, Snapdragon Stadium. Audio and video design firm WJHW called on Clair Global Integration to install a wide range of future-proofed products. Most notably, the stadium now features over 100 AC6 Adaptive Column Loudspeakers from Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW).
“EAW supported the design team during the various phases of the project including early demonstrations, proof of concept and modeling for the AC6 loudspeakers, and exporting data for consultants’ integration into the full system design”, says Mark Graham, Associate Principal, WJHW. “The brand also remained involved throughout the construction process with onsite pretesting, as well as being an integral member of the commissioning and testing team during tuning and calibration of the installed system.”
“The Adaptive technology of the AC6 loudspeakers allowed us to select mounting locations that better integrated into the stadiums’ architectural and structural elements while maintaining the output levels and coverage patterns needed at the spectator seating,” adds Graham.
In addition to the AC6 Adaptive system, various other EAW speakers including the MK8196, CIS300, CIS400, LS832i, JF80z, MKD864, MK2366i, QX300 and QX500 were installed. “Apart from the ceiling speakers, all of these loudspeakers are offered in custom colors, allowing us to match adjacent architectural finishes for an integrated aesthetic”, says Graham. The crew at EAW also worked closely with Clair Global Integration while building and installing the PA system.
In addition to San Diego Aztec football, Snapdragon Stadium will also serve as home to the National Women’s Soccer League’s Wave and the San Diego Legion of Major League Rugby.

Chaparral High School installs Vari-Lite luminaires
The new Chaparral High School in the central Texas city of Killeen opened its doors in August 2022 with a performing arts wing designed to elevate student learning. It is equipped with an array of luminaires from Vari-Lite, a Signify entertainment lighting brand, including a Neo and Vision.Net control system, VL800, Acclaim LED and Coda LED fixtures, and Aurora LED Strips.
The arts center within the school boasts a 1,200-seater auditorium, band, choir, and orchestra rooms, a black box theater, set design workshops and teaching spaces, built by American Constructors and designed by James Fauver at PBK Architects. “Our mission was to provide an integrated, fully networked, professional standard stage lighting system that would be intuitive to learn, access and use for both students and staff”, says Erich Friend, principal consultant at theater consultancy Teqniqal Systems.
To achieve intuitive operation and wide access to the lighting system, the team installed Vision.Net touchscreens, button stations and sensors at strategic locations around the building. “We wanted granular control from every part of the building”, says Friend. “The lights in the auditorium, including the blue backstage running lights, work lights and house lights, are DMX- controlled individually. Multiple network switches feed over 73 DMX 3 Port Nodes throughout the facility.”
“Each lighting control panel is programmed to perform specific actions that relate to their specific location”, he continues. “For example, in the fly galleries, there are controls for the work lights and show running lights, and out in the entry vestibules there are entry stations, ensuring no one needs to ever walk into a dark theater. We even integrated a Ghost Light function into the houselight presets over the stage apron so the drop-off remains visible when the rest of the theater is shut-down.”
Other key aspects to the setup include a system over-ride that will put the entire theater into an automated five-minute shutdown, as well as astronomical time control with the potential to deliver hundreds of events with full day-of-the-week and calendar scheduling, which has been programmed to power down the system at a predetermined time each day.
“We’ve made some actions and control ports student-proof to ensure the venue is consistently safe for everyone”, says Todd Graham, project manager at Killeen High School. “During a show, the stage manager can take control of all the remote stations and certain control panels are recessed into the wall - or locked - so they cannot accidentally be activated.”
In the performing arts spaces, Aurora LED Strips have been chosen to illuminate the orchestra and for up-lighting or down-lighting clothes and scenery. Other luminaires installed include Acclaim LED PLE, Acclaim LED Fresnel and Acclaim LED Zoomspots, Coda LED, and VL800 Series Event Profile and Event Wash fixtures. Together, they cater for everything from dance to theater, musicals, rock music and general presentations both in the main auditorium and black box studio.
Mandy Stockhausen at representatives Bell & McCoy collaborated with Jeff O’Brien, Regional Sales Manager, Vari-Lite, at Signify, on the project, sourcing the Vari-Lite rig from dealer Batts AVL. The Vari-Lite team also delivered training on the Neo console, Vision.Net and fixtures.

MDG unterstützt Circus Roncalli mit Haze und Bodennebel
Der Circus Roncalli hat neben zwei bereits im Bestand befindlichen MDG-Atmopshere-ATMe-Hazern zusätzlich einen Bodennebelgenerator Ice-Fog Compack-H von MDG angeschafft.
„Wir nutzen Bodennebel bei einigen Acts. Der Nebel unterstützt uns dabei, eine Traumwelt zu erschaffen, und erzeugt Spannung beim Publikum“, sagt Patrick Philadelphia, Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung der Circus Roncalli GmbH. „Wir tauchen den Nebel auch in verschiedene Lichtfarben, um so je nach Bedarf immer wieder neue Effekte und Stimmungen schaffen zu können.“
„In den letzten Jahren haben wir verschiedene Modelle unterschiedlicher Hersteller probiert, aber keine Maschine brachte die erforderliche Leistung, um die Manege in kurzer Zeit mit bodennahem Nebel zu füllen“, fährt Philadelphia fort. „Lediglich Trockeneis in Verbindung mit heißem Wasser brachte den gewünschten Effekt. Trockeneis ist aber in der Beschaffung teuer, und die Anforderungen an die Lagerung sind im Zirkusbetrieb nur schwer zu erfüllen. Der Ice-Fog von MDG machte letztlich den entscheidenden Unterschied.“
Im Gegensatz zu konventionellen Bodennebelmaschinen arbeitet der Ice-Fog nicht mit Trockeneis. MDG-Nebel hinterlässt laut Hertsteller keinerlei Rückstände und schließt damit eine Rutsch- und Unfallgefahr aus.

Warwick Arts Centre’s concert hall uses LSC Control Systems’ APS technology
Warwick Arts Centre, based at the University of Warwick’s Coventry campus, reopened in late 2021 after a four-year redevelopment, choosing APS configurable power distribution technology from LSC Control Systems at the heart of its new technical infrastructure.
Attracting over 300,000 visitors per year, the Warwick Arts Centre offers a 1,450-capacity concert hall, two theatres - a 575-seat main house and a 150-capacity black-box studio - and three cinemas, alongside exhibition and presentation spaces. Managing the technical requirements of the refurbishment was Chief Electrician Mark Smith, who is responsible for lighting and power across the Centre’s auditoria.
The APS units were selected to provide power to the concert hall’s LED-based fixed lighting rig. Ben Steppenbeck of LSC’s UK sales partner A.C. Entertainment Technologies put together a design of two fixed racks of APS (12 x 10 A) for the installation, one with nine units, and another with eight, and supplied the system along with all cabling and accessories. Because of the unexpected downtime caused by the pandemic, Smith and his team were able to carry out the installation themselves.
Two flight-cased, 48-way Genvi racks were bought as a temporary solution for one of the Arts Centre’s smaller spaces prior to the refurbishment process and are still regularly used to deliver flexible dimming solutions around the building.

Masque Sound equips new Broadway production of “A Christmas Carol”
“A Christmas Carol” recently arrived at Broadway’s Nederlander Theatre, and Sound Designer Joshua D. Reid called upon theatrical sound reinforcement, installation and design company Masque Sound to provide a custom audio equipment package for the holiday classic. In this production of “A Christmas Carol”, actor Jefferson Mays plays over fifty roles, directed by Michael Arden.
Masque Sound provided a custom audio set up for the film version of the play back in 2020, so for Reid it was just natural to bring Masque along to Broadway. Transitioning from film to the Broadway stage meant the addition of a full PA system. “For the filming, we did not really have any loudspeakers on the stage or in the house as we were mixing down the audio for film recording so it could be dissected and put it together in the studio”, says Reid. “When we moved to the live stage version of the show, we had to add in all the loudspeakers.”
The PA system, provided by Masque Sound, is composed of speakers from Meyer Sound. According to Reid, “We flew a Meyer M’elodie line array system with 700-HP subwoofers for our center array along with the Ultra-X40 for our left and right mains. We also utilized Meyer Sound’s 600-HP delay subwoofers for the balcony, with additional MM10 subwoofers for the rear orchestra.”
One of the interesting components of the audio package is the use of microphones. “Jefferson wears four wireless microphones all around his head during the production”, says Reid. “That is a lot of microphones for one person, but he is out there for ninety minutes straight and doesn’t have a chance to change mics. We use Sennheiser MKE1 lavaliers along with Shure ADX1M transmitters with Axient Digital series receivers, all provided by Masque.”
The show also relies heavily on QLab playback. “Our system primarily consists of QLab for audio playback and Ableton for vocal processing”, says Reid. “There are about 335 operator cues over the course of ninety minutes and some of those are soundscapes, music, and a lot of those are different vocal inflections so the reverb processing and vocal inflection processing is done through Ableton. We take all the live mics that Jefferson is using to not only reinforce him on the stage, but we use that to put him in different environments and to change the tonality of his voice over the course of the show.”
For the production, Mix Engineers Maxine Gutierrez and Ian Carr operate the show and control the vocal levels from a Yamaha CL5 digital audio mixing console, also provided by Masque Sound. The system is networked over Dante. “In addition to Maxine and Ian who do an incredible job, I also want to acknowledge the incredible work of Production Engineer Dillon Cody as well as my Assistant Sound Designers Megan Culley and Sam Kusnetz”, adds Reid.

Amare project invests in Robe T series
The new Amare building is an arts, culture, and educational hub on the Spui in Den Haag, Netherlands, which opened last year after six years of construction. Built on the footprint of the old Lucent Danstheater, Amare houses the Dance and Music Center, The Hague Foundation, the Residentie Orkest, the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) and the Royal Conservatoire.
Amare offers a 1500-capacity Concert Hall (2500 standing) and a 1300-seater Theatre plus two other performance halls and extensive rehearsal facilities. Over 100 Robe moving lights got specified for the project. These are a mix of 86 x T1 Profiles and 30 x T2 Profiles plus 60 x ParFects, all supplied by Robe’s Benelux distributor Controllux and installed in the two primary venues and their main black box space.
Arjen Bijtelaar is the venue’s stage manager specialising in lighting. He has worked for the venue since 2006 - including at the Lucent Danstheater before its demolition - and explains that the original tender was for profile LED luminaires offering full white and multicoloured colour control. In 2016, the venue was one of the first in the country to invest in Robe’s DL7 series. This was for their temporary residence at the Zuiderstrand Theater in Scheveningen Harbour, Den Haag, which operated during the lengthy construction period.
The company was also the first cultural institution in Benelux to have Robe’s T1 Profile. When the Amare build project started, the T2 had not yet been developed, so the initial spec won by Controllux was for the 86 x T1 Profiles. However, after moving into the new facilities last year, some additional funding became available with which they purchased the T2s and ParFects.
The requirement was for lighting that would assist both the Concert Hall and the stage, all genres of dance, plus theatre and concerts. Of the thirty T2s, eight are used for the Concert Hall FOH, with four on one of the upstage bars, and the remaining eighteen fixtures are in the Theatre, at FOH and in some of the side positions.
The T1s originally intended for the Concert Hall’s FOH bridges are deployed in other positions around the venue, mostly on the advance bar with some in the side balcony positions, with the four other T2s replacing the previous FOH positions. The remaining eighteen T2 Profiles are in the Theatre.
The Concert Hall features a diverse entertainment programme, anything from full symphony orchestra performances to intimate baroque music to full on pop and rock shows. The Theatre primarily stages ballet, musicals and operas, and the different Amare spaces are also available for events, private and commercial hires and other uses.
Visiting companies can either use the full house rig - which also contains LED washes and several other fixtures - or parts of it or bring in their own full or partial productions. The control consoles in the building are all ETC and the DMX merging is achieved via an ACN network.

„The Senses Club“ erhält Audiosystem von Yamaha
Der „Senses Club“, Teil der Ferienanlage Holiday Village in Fondi an der Westküste Italiens, ist mit einem Yamaha-Audiosystem ausgestattet worden. Die Location bietet Restaurant-Betrieb und Musik-Veranstaltungen, unter anderem DJ-Sets.
Paolo Maio, Eigentümer des Resorts, und sein Sohn, Alessandro Maio, beauftragten die in Sperlonga ansässige Firma Remix Multimedia srl mit der Installation des Beschallungssystems. Riccardo und Michele de Simone von Remix Multimedia spezifizierten daraufhin ein Mehrzweck-Audiosystem von Yamaha, das die Hauptbeschallung mit den 2-Wege-Lautsprechern CZR10 und CZR15 sowie den erweiterten Subwoofern CXS18-XLF in weißer Farbe, passend zur Einrichtung des „Senses Club“, umfasst und von drei PX8- und drei PX10-Zweikanal-Verstärkern angetrieben wird.
Das Monitoring der Künstler erfolgt über die zweikanaligen DZR12-Lautsprecher und die DXS15mkII-Aktivsubwoofer, während ein drahtloser Yamaha-MusicCast-WCX-50-Streaming-Vorverstärker die gestreamten Audiosignale liefert. Die Verwaltung und Steuerung des Systems erfolgt über einen MTX5-D-Matrixprozessor mit Yamahas Wireless-DCP-App für iOS und einem DCP4V4S-Panel für die Aufputzmontage, das den Mitarbeitern die Steuerung per Knopfdruck oder Smartphone ermöglicht.

Ungarische Staatsoper mit ETC-SolaFrame-Scheinwerfern ausgestattet
Im Zuge fünfjähriger Renovierungsarbeiten wurde die Ungarische Staatsoper unter anderem mit neuer Bühnentechnik versehen. Zum neuen Setup gehören 24 Scheinwerfer der High-End-Systems-SolaFrame-Reihe von ETC.
Im Vergleich zur Optimierung der Saal-Akustik und der Vergrößerung des Orchestergrabens machte das Upgrade der Lichtanlage zwar einen eher kleinen Teil der Renovierung aus, aber dennoch einen bedeutenden. Die geräuschlosen SolaFrame-Theatre- und SolaFrame-Studio-Scheinwerfer - jeweils zwölf an der Zahl - kamen erstmalig bei den dreitägigen Wiedereröffnungs-Feierlichkeiten der Staatsoper zum Einsatz. Bei der Orchester-Gala traten unter anderem Plácido Domingo, Ádám Medveczky und Gergely Kesselyák auf.

Hippotizer Karst+ unpacks interactive, immersive projections at Ikea
Ikea’s flagship store in Wembley, North London, is immersing potential buyers into an interactive, projection mapped environment this summer. Ikea approached Motion Mapping, which specialises in video mapping, to realise the project.
The initial brief focused on a furniture section of the Ikea store, constructed from an L-shaped wall with large desk, hung cabinets and a series of twelve differing-sized empty photo frames, each one projection mapped to synchronise with the back wall projections across all of the cabinets, hung in a portrait and landscape formation to create a wide display canvas. The team wanted to turn this into the immersive environment, using projections and interactive elements.
Stuart Harris, Creative Director at Motion Mapping, and his team collaborated with the Ikea creatives to develop the project into a richer experience, using Hippotizer Karst+ Media Servers. Now installed, a raft of colourful content slides seamlessly across the cabinets, walls and TVs. The closed cabinet doors are video mapped to show virtual stocked interiors, with projected images of Ikea tableware and storage solutions. When turned on, the TVs display scenes give the impression of looking out a real window.
Key to the concept is the Ikea “co-worker” character, who skips around the walls, cabinets and desk, inviting the visitor to interact with the environment and explaining the specifications of what’s for sale. The Ikea team handed Harris a 2D sketch of the co-worker, which Motion Mapping then morphed into an (almost) 3D character to be animated, video mapped and projected onto the walls using six Optoma projectors, which are hung from the ceiling.
“Hippotizer Karst+ enables us to sync the content across the wall canvas and update content as the project developed”, says Harris. “We started off with just one projector, but as we showed the client what we could achieve using Hippotizer - such as blending multiple projectors to create a bigger, more immersive display within Hippotizer’s Shape tools - it mushroomed. This also helped us seamlessly make the 3D co-worker character come to life.”

Green-Go digital intercom series scales comms at Pingtan Performing Arts Center
Fujian Province’s new Pingtan International Performing Arts Center recently invested in a series of Green-Go digital intercom products to provide a scalable sound solution. The Center, which serves as the a cultural hub in the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Area in northeast Jinjing Bay includes a 1,500-seat theatre, a 400-seat multi-function hall and a public centre for performance and art, covering almost 40,000 sq.m.
Now open for business, it will be the home of the stage play “Pingtan Impression”, directed by Chinese dancer Yang Liping. Chinese AV solution provider EZPro was responsible for the audio system design and installation at the Center.
At the core of the Center’s system is a Green-Go MCX multi-channel rack station, which is designed to allow direct access for up to 32 separate intercom groups or partylines. The team has installed this in the mobile stage monitoring cabinet, enabling them to see the status of each channel in use across all of the venue’s three performance spaces.
This is matched with five Green-Go MCXD multi-channel desk stations, located in key locations across the venues for directors and production managers to use. The Ethernet-connected MCXD unit allows the operators to speak to individuals or groups as desired.
The production team is also now kitted out with six Green-Go WBPX multi-channel wireless beltpacks, which are configured in the system for communication mainly among the Center’s sound and lighting engineers. These connect with Green-Go’s Ethernet-based system via a series of WAA wireless active antenna. The Center has also invested in BPX multi-channel wired beltpacks, which connect to intercom network outlets in spaces such as dressing rooms, resting rooms, corridors, and machine rooms.
EZPro also responded to the Center’s need to integrate analogue intercom systems into the new Green-Go digital Ethernet network, and to connect radio devices that are often used by the Center’s security guards and background staff who use walkie-talkies. To achieve this, they specified the Green-Go InterfaceX, to facilitate connection between the intercom system and the PA system. The director of “Pingtan Impression” can also use this interface to transmit instructions through the PA system.
