USA - Four grandMA consoles comprise the heart of lighting and video control for the new Heart of the City tour co-headlined by Grammy Award winners Jay-Z and Mary J Blige and playing dates across North America.

"Flexibility and reliability are what make the grandMA control system perfect for us," reports Artfag, LLC's Patrick Dierson, the lighting director for both artists. "We have both main and full-tracking backup consoles for lighting and video.The lighting consoles are networked into a PRG Series 400 system, which provides both power and data distribution for the show. A laptop in the dimmer pit runs grandMA onPC software to help facilitate everyday system checks before the FOH consoles are brought online."
