Solid Ground...Raised

Thanks go out to everyone who visited our stand at the Prolight + Sound Middle East Show in Dubai last week. Entertainment in this region is growing rapidly and great interest was shown in our products, especially our new S10 stage deck that was on display.  We had extremely interesting discussions with the many visitors that stopped by our stand and look forward to strengthening our relationships with them in the coming day, months and years.  We’re now in the process of holding more discussions, sending out quotes and providing assistance with the many upcoming projects in this magical area.    

Due to popular demand by customers, we are now offering our new S10 stage deck tops in two surface finishes – Hexagrip or Black Paint. Both surface options are available on all shapes and sizes of the S10 deck.  The indoor/outdoor, non-slip Hexagrip top was launched together with the new S10 last year and is mounted on its 12mm birch plywood top. It provides increased traction during demanding performances and even when wet. The black painted surface is another popular option that comes on the S10’s 12mm poplar plywood top. This finish is also water resistant for safe use both indoors and outdoors. An advantage with this finish is that it can be repainted at the end of each season, or from time to time during the year, to cover up scratches and abrasions.  Click here to learn more about the new S10 stage deck and its many features. 

A4i.tv has just released a new video about the current state of rigging posts on social media. Rigging Advisor Eric Porter tackles this subject in a very straightforward manner, speaking about how social media is being used for rigging commentary and the way people are behaving online.   Eric also addresses the importance of training and rigging knowledge not only in emerging markets, where rigging is still in its youth, but also in countries with long established rigging practices and regulations.  Watch the video here.
