Dubai-based professional lighting, sound, video and rigging company Procom ME worked with concept designers Addmind, the creative brains behind White Beirut, to design and supply the club's impressive video and lighting package.
"Many visit White Dubai to experience the distinctive live lighting, sound and video display," says Rami Harfouch, business development manager at Procom ME. "So synchronisation, originality and avoiding repetition are challenging but crucial considerations when choosing equipment. Our decision to use the Avolites Expert Pro as the club's in-house desk was based in part on the console's large number of submasters. These allow the club's resident lighting operator to create countless mixes which are deliberately orchestrated to accommodate the club's diverse event and music styles."
In order to cater for such a wide range of events White Dubai is the owner of a wide arsenal of lighting equipment including various moving head fixtures, washes, beams, LED equipment, screens and lasers all of which are controlled live by the Avolites Expert Pro and Touch Wing.
"With such a large amount of elements to control, the addition of the easy-to-connect Touch Wing means the lighting operator has even faster, easier access to the different components of the mixer," says George Germanos, technical manager at Procom ME. "This is particularly important for a live operated show at White Dubai.
"The Expert Pro and the Touch Wing are both portable," continues Germanos. "This is a very convenient feature for clubs that need to seasonally close or relocate, like White Dubai during the hot summer months."
As part of Procom ME's offering as official Avolites partner in the Middle-East the company regularly organises Avolites training sessions on product and software updates providing a solid safety net for Avolites users in the region.
