With less then 24 hours between many of the scheduled venues, the band needed a set that was light and easy to rig and de-rig, and the G-LEC Phantom II large scale LED display system with video capabilities fits the bill. Weighing just 5.5kg per sq.m, it not only saves the band's crew a lot of hard work, but means that the frames can be flown on the set extremely easily.
Peveroll-Arquitenimiento, G-LEC's partner company in Mexico, was instrumental in gaining the contract for G-LEC. Carlos E Perezcano, the company's president and general manager, said: "Maná take their name from the Polynesian for 'supernatural force' and they do have a forceful stage presence. Used in conjunction with other effects, including pyro, the graphics on the Phantom II frames add a huge amount of vibrancy to the set."
