"The Sapphire Touch is a really great piece of kit," says Calder Sibbald, Black Light's Head of Hires and Events. "It offers real flexibility, a fantastic user interface and new pixel mapping. We're really excited about being the first company to be able to offer it. It shows our determination to be ahead of the field and offer more innovative products than our competitors."
The Sapphire Touch is Avolites' top-of-the-range stage lighting control console. It integrates the company's comprehensive Titan V5 operating system as well as offering dual touch screen monitors for an enhanced workflow.
"Like every other bit of Avolites gear, the Sapphire Touch is really versatile," says Sibbald, who explains that the desk has been designed for smooth automated playback operation and that it boasts 45 motorised faders and Tricolour optical trackball functionality.
"While the Sapphire Touch shows that we're are leading the way in terms of functionality, our range of Robe lighting shows our commitment to providing the greenest kit," says Sibbald, who highlights the Robe LedWash 600's and Robe MMX products. These offer exceptional performance, energy efficiency and enhanced ease of handling due to their low weight. "These hire products are easy to move and position and cost-effective to run. They allow us to offer the functionality that our customers require."
