USA - Known as America's National Park for the Performing Arts the Wolf Trap venue, Vienna (VA), has installed two grandMA full-size in its Filene Center. Wolf Trap's typical season includes performances ranging from pop, country, folk and blues to orchestra, dance, theatre and opera as well as performance art and multimedia presentations. Its larger venue Filene Center is a 7,000-seat indoor/outdoor theatre.

"We had other desks and needed an upgrade so we acquired three grandMAs, one of them a replay unit, and four MA NSPs as our house lighting control system," reports Wolf Trap's head electrician Henry Parks. "Performances here start at the end of May, and we do approximately 100 different shows until mid-September. Basically, we have a large conventional rig with lots of Color Faders and SeaChangers; we have around 1,500 conventional fixtures and about 40 multi-attribute accessories. Moving lights are rented on a per-show basis."
