Local AV integration company, Avitech Systems, provided the design, supply and installation of the sound, lighting and audiovisual systems in the venue. For the stage lighting requirements, Lawrence Bricknell, owner of Avitech Systems, called on the expertise of Dave Whitehouse from DWR Distribution. Dave's lighting solution comprised a Philips Strand 200 Series 24/48 lighting console, 12 Longman F1 High Power LED parcans, 10 Longman 002 LED parcans, six Longman Stage bars, one LSC DMX Splitter and five custom manufactured lighting bars.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the project," commented Lawrence Bricknell. "It was great fun putting it all together, from FOH sound, stage lighting, projectors and screens, to the Crestron Control operated from an iPad. It's a fantastic venue."
Cheslyn Botha of CB Entertainment heads the casino's technical department and will run the AV, sound and lighting in the Action Bar. "The venue is very, very nice," said Botha. "It's almost a replica of an action bar in Chilli. I am also excited about the new toys at my disposal. DWR's Dave Whitehouse did the training and I'm in continuous contact with him. The support and service we received was excellent."
