| As Avolites moves forward with the new Titan
software, Pearl Expert, Expert Touch Wing and Tiger Touch it is sometimes nice
to look back and remember its humble beginnings. We received a heart warming
tale from 1994. Avolites were exhibiting their first Pearl when Swedish rental
company ‘Fremlab’ paid a visit to the PLASA show. Managing Director Carl-Fredrik
Malmgren remembers it well; ‘I was visiting together with a lighting designer. We were looking for a new console in particular when, after one hour, he approached me to say “I have found the new console, an Avolites!” I thought it was out of my price range, but then when I checked it out I got a very interesting quote’ and with that, Carl was hooked. ‘I was visiting together with a lighting designer.

| Since then it has seen a lot of use over the
years at various shows, conferences, concerts and fashion shows. Sadly though,
it has now seen its last gig with Fremlab. With lighting operator Marcus Wibom
at the helm they bid their final farewells at a corporate event held recently in
Helsingborg, Sweden. Fremlab, who dearly ‘love their Avolife’ have now upgraded to a Pearl Tiger, which will beautifully light their way into the future! |
