Out Board with Iron Maiden and Christina

UK - Out Board's CM-Series motor controllers for CM chain hoists have been purchased for a couple of high profile video and PA rigging jobs in late 2003. ML Executives has purchased a pair of CM6 six-channel controllers and HC6 remotes to manage two hangs per side of EAW KF760 line array systems for the current Iron Maiden Dance of Death world tour, whose itinerary ranges from theatres to arena-size venues. ML's Gary Marks needed to handle two points per hang plus a common pull-back point on each side of stage, and found the CM6 offered the best flexibility and control for the diversity of venues the tour is scheduled to visit.

Star Rigging has also acquired two more of the compact CM12 12-channel controllers for rigging duties on a recent video shoot for Christina Aguilera. Star's Phil Broad once again chose the CM12 for the convenience of its compact size, adding to previous purchases made last year for the demanding Westlife Unbreakable tour plus the Albert Hall and other special events.

The Out Board CM-Series motor controllers for CM Lodestar hoists are available in compact 4-, 6-, and 12- channel variants, along with assorted remote hand controller options and truss mounting Socapex/C-Form splitter boxes.
