Light & Stage Illumination

For stage illumination we use the following lamps.

12Par 56, 300W rear light, rear floor spots
10Par 30, 75W side light
4theater lamps, 1kW front light
3LED DMX controlled lamps stage floor spots

Other equipment includes around 50m of 380V cables, a GLP Light Operator 24 mixer and two sinus dimmers, which allow for operating sound and light equipment together without the otherwise inevitable hum and buzz of dimmer packs.

Some samples of our stage ligthing you will find below and also here.

Audio Gear

Sound pickup, shaping, mixing and distribution involves a variety of systems, which are mostly hidden from the audience for esthetic reasons. Nevertheless these systems or a selection thereof we use to optimize our sound in the given room. Less optimal room designs often require prior analysis by our sound engineer. During analysis the engineer will identify ways to supress naturally occuring sonic interferences.

Comfort for the audience includes well leveled and well distributed sound pressure. And it includes sonic clarity by forming aligned wave fronts via proper placement, replication and orientation of speaker cabinets. The size of our speaker cabinets ranges from 20-60cm. With this comfortable size we have many options at hand for our sound installations, from almost invisible to large speaker stacks.

Of course, "large" is relative. There is always something bigger, but for performances at street fests, in churches, in concert halls with seats for 600 people or in openair situations we can provide enough juice from almost nothing to approximately 10kW of permanent sonic power (RMS). For us, loudness is not the key, perceived size and proximity even on the most distant seat is. We call this scalable sound.

With our selected audio components we bring to you the finest in audio.
