Lighting director and co-designer Cosmo Wilson remarked, "We actually started out with 24 Alpha Beams, but were so blown away that we doubled them and now have 48. What is most impressive is the brightness. Also, I am a big ACL guy, and these are stunning for that purpose, the fact that I can make the beams tighter and smaller is excellent. I love that I can have gobos in a wash light! The speed of movement, color change and gobos is incredible - particularly the shutter speed."
Francesco Romagnoli, Clay Paky sales manager for the American market, notes, "In the past few months Clay Paky and PRG Distribution have jointly invested considerable effort in promoting the products, and their work is producing excellent results. Clay Paky is one of the most in-demand and reliable brands, and is being chosen by many important rental companies and for some of the main worldwide tours. We're proud to be out with AC/DC as this tour is the perfect show-case for launching our impressive new Beams."
Tim Brennan, vice president of PRG Las Vegas, adds, "I have attended the show twice as a punter, and it was tremendous to see the impact the Clay Paky 300 Beams had on the show. It is always super to see a product that PRG Distribution represents help a great artist like Patrick Woodroffe to paint his picture, as well as to assist a fine shop like Upstaging put out this package. Kudos to both Mr. Woodroffe and Upstaging."
