| Newly formed lighting, rigging and consultancy company Live Technical Services Ltd. recently participated in 2009’s Varsity, Oxford and Cambridge University ski trip in Tignes; a sell out event which takes place for its crowd of 2,500 strong students. Directors Tim Smith and Howie Clark soon found the Power Cube and Pearl Expert made for the perfect package to provide a complete lighting solution for their one man band as only Tim was allowed on site. | |||

| Smith first used the Power Cube during the
Kyran Brackens Ice Party in Bournemouth, but It wasn’t long before he took the
Power Cube out on the road. When asked about his Power Cube experience Smith
commented: ‘It’s everything I had been waiting for in one box...with the fast responsive dimmers, standard art 2000 control over your curves, a hot power bay, plus data distribution…I was biting Avolites hands off to try one of these!’ He also boasted of its versatility, commenting on how portable he found it, plus its many possible applications, from conferences to festivals. Meanwhile, clients think it’s a ‘sexy, high spec’ bit of kit! |

| LTS worked with Igoe Pa Hire and Okoru Alpine
Events amidst the French Alps. Running for six days the Power Cube powered and
pre-heated all 12 blinders, ran hot power to the 8 channels by 2 kw’s and gave
full data distribution for the event via Ethernet In and DMX Out. The rig also
included 10 Martin Mac2000 Profile, 4 Robe 575 AT Zoom Wash, 6 Martin Pro 918
Scanners, 6 Martin Atomic 3000 Strobes, 38 MilTec 4-segment LED Battens, 12 two
Cell Blinders and four Parcans Smith continued: ‘I wanted maximum impact from as
little equipment as possible. The structure of the roof looked like a festival
stage so I went for a powerful look using the 1200w 2ks to cut gobos through the
power of the atomics and blinders. 918’s added a nice fast crisp movement to the
stage, allowing the 2ks to spread the audience/roof etc. The Pearl Expert was
the obvious choice of console due to it being a compact desk with the
functionality of something much bigger’. The event played host to a pool of musical talent from Kissy, Pendulum, Chase and Status alongside resident DJs and Urban Knights. Plus, of course, outstanding lighting and effects essential to a top-notch show! |
