The motorised lectern is fully DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant
UK - Doughty Engineering unveiled the latest addition to its catalogue of products - a motorised lectern -at this year's ABTT show, as well as its new and stronger range of truss adaptors.

The motorised lectern is fully DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant, leading many visitors to the stand to try it out 'for size'! Designed and manufactured in the UK, the black powder coated steel lectern is supplied with a reading light and fitted with anti-vibration/noise dampening microphone mounts to ensure a clear, concise sound from the user.

Mark Chorley, design engineer at Doughty Engineering said, "The motorised height adjustment makes this lectern suitable for universal use, whether it's young children in a school setting, wheelchair users or adults of different heights - not forgetting the problems faced by very tall people too. Changing height from its lowest setting of 640mm to its highest of 1150mm is smooth and simple and takes just seconds, eliminating awkward moments on stage waiting for the lectern to be adjusted and ensuring time is not wasted between speakers."

Chorley continued, "Speaking in public is nerve-wracking enough. The design of this lectern is about ensuring that everyone feels as comfortable and confident as possible when giving their speech or delivering a lecture."

The lectern is currently available in black, with an optional flight case also available.

Riggers visiting the stand were shown Doughty's new truss adaptors for theatre rigs and outdoor events. Made from solid, high tensile aluminium, they fit all major brands of triangular and square truss, enabling it to be lifted into place safely and securely.
