With this in mind, the team has invested in a new grandMA2 Light console and an MA Command Wing control console, which were purchased from Ambersphere Solutions.
Tom Chennells, director of production for Yes Events, explains why they chose the MA kit: "The Command Wing and grandMA2 Light are our first investments in MA Lighting control. Both were chosen after a rigorous selection process, informed both by our knowledge of the industry and our predicted demand for these high-quality, industry standard consoles. We work with some of the industry's best known and most talented lighting designers and their preference for MA equipment also strongly influences our buying decisions.
"Both the Command Wing and grandMA2 Light offer a greater ease of use and functionality than other lighting desks we work with. Our lighting designers are delighted with both the quality and features of the new desks."
Thor André of Ambersphere Sales was the contact with Yes Events. "Thor came to visit us in our Wokingham premises armed with some great biscuits and an encyclopaedic knowledge of Ambersphere's products to talk about MA Lighting and other items," explains Chennells. "Right from our initial enquiry to delivery of the desks we have felt that we were dealing with people who really knew their stuff and the after-sales service has proved to be just as good. Ambersphere, and Thor in particular, have been fantastic."
