The lectern - the first of its kind - is fully DDA compliant and visitors to the stand will be able 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 mounds to ensure a clear, concise sound from the user.
Mark Chorley, Doughty Engineering's design engineer said, "This lectern is a real show-stopper and visitors will be amazed by its capabilities. Changing height from its lowest setting of 640mm to its highest of 1150mm is smooth and simple and takes just seconds, ensuring presentations are flawless and speakers are comfortable and confident."
Riggers are being enticed to the stand by a new range of truss adaptors, designed with the theatre and outdoor events in mind. Made from solid highly tensile aluminium, they fit all major brands of triangular and square truss, enabling it to be lifted into place safely and securely. With a choice of three hanging sizes - 25kg, 500kg and 1000kg - the new truss adaptors are fitted with slim line clamps. The 250kg size comes as either a fixed or swivel version and is available ready fitted with a 28mm Euro spec spigot. As always, customers can discuss their specific needs with a member of the Doughty team whether they require an off the shelf or bespoke solution.
