Te Auaha theatre upgrades with Chauvet
- Details
Supporting the wide variety of productions at the school’s 200-seat theatre auditorium is a carefully planned LED lighting rig that features a large collection of Chauvet Professional fixtures installed by MDR Sound and Lighting, including 12 Ovation F-915FC Fresnel, 12 Ovation F-165WW, 10 Ovation E-910FC LED and 10 Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures.
"The Ovation F-915FC is a remarkable LED Fresnel," comments James Kearney, technical manager of Te Auaha. "One of the most impressive features is its ability to reproduce true theatre colours with near perfect CRI – astonishing, considering the fact that the LED source has none of the drawbacks of traditional tungsten Fresnels.
"The Ovation fixtures really stand out in the new theatre," continues Kearney. "The warm white tones of the F-165WW Fresnel and Ovation E-910FC Full Colour LED profiles provide us with an exceptionally versatile rig that is a fit for any purpose."
In addition to the solid visual framework created by the Ovation fixtures, MDR specified 10 Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures to provide the theatre with the tools to create the necessary punch and eye candy during performances.
As a result of the Chauvet Professional installation in Te Auaha, the venue is equipped to deal with any kind of performance, show or live situation, and thus succeeds in putting the student's creativity at the forefront of its agenda.
"The technical team at Te Auaha and the students couldn't be happier with the installation," concludes Kearney.
