JR Clancy's international sales manager Charles Shatzkin comments: "ADT told us that the client was looking to motorise their rigging system and wanted a fast, safe, reliable and quiet powered hoist. The Clancy Automated Rigging System has a variable speed capability up to 0.6 m/sec and produces sounds no louder than those heard in a whisper-quiet library.
"The theatre also specified a SceneControl 500 - a powerful control console which provides a 3D visualisation of the performance space. The SceneControl is virtually unmatched in features and price: its functionality is as powerful as other consoles two or three times as expensive, making it an ideal choice.
Shatzkin continues: "We included special low-capacity custom PowerLifts for the side tabs. Since they are only ever going to be for lower weight loads, we needed to limit the hoists' lifting power. That way we can be sure that the total safe working capacity of the lines can never be exceeded."
Tempo hosts a range of performances for up to 500 people, from jazz and dance to plays and children's performances.
Shatzkin has just completed a tour of the UK with Hoist UK, demonstrating JR Clancy's systems. He is set to visit the UK again in September, when he will be demonstrating a range of the company's products at PLASA 09.
