Monochrome glass gobos allow far more complex designs to be created than with traditional metal gobos - in particular, images can be created without the ‘tagging’ required to hold metal gobos together, or the gobos can contain high-quality photographic half-tone images. DHA’s monochrome glass gobos are produced to a resolution of 3600dpi as standard on heat-resistant, aluminium coated borosilicate glass.

The new same-day service has undergone extensive testing over the last few months. "This testing has proved highly s

Installation of the board is simple - the outer casing of the Xone:V6 is removed and the valve board ‘plugged’ in without further modification. The Xone:V6 mixer has been enthusiastically received by DJs and clubs worldwide and commended for

Advances in lamp technology have been instrumental in the creation of this new product. Philips has developed the P3, or improved pinch lamp, which essentially allows the lamp to operate at higher temperatures than ever before. This offers increased brightness and extended lamp life. Software modifications and changes in the power supply also help boost the brightness. x.Spot Xtreme is available with either a 2:1 or 4:1 lens depending on customer preference. The x.Spot HO (High Output) will continue to be available.

Held on Sunday, 23 March, WrestleMania XIX was the largest event ever held at SAFECO Field and the first major show (BETA test show) for the Maxxyz in the US. The overall lighting rig was made up of 16 large truss-structures of varying shapes and contained a mixture of automated (MAC 600, MAC 2000 Profile, Atomic 3000 Strobe) and conventional lighting and was controlled by multiple consoles. In the future, the need for this kind of arrangement will be replaced by a Maxxyz network system (either a single console or multiple consoles). Additional automated lighting was placed on stage and on a special entrance ramp.
