The New CHAUVET Professional Ovation E-2 FC is Compact, Convenient, and Colorful

Inspired designs come in all sizes. Now so too do fully featured LED ellipsoidal spotlights that can help turn those visions into reality, thanks to the new Ovation E-2 FC from CHAUVET Professional. With an RGBAL engine that delivers richly textured colors and smooth, even whites (it has a CRI of 93), plus an integrated 25˚-50˚ zoom lens, the Ovation E-2 FC delivers the kind of performance associated with larger fixtures, but in a compact body that makes it ideally suited for small and mid-sized applications.Read More »The New CHAUVET Professional Ovation E-2 FC is Compact, Convenient, and Colorful

CHAUVET Professional Helps Alec Takahashi Connect Thomas Rhett To Crowd

Location, they say, “is everything” in retailing; well, it’s pretty important in live touring too. Just ask Alec Takahashi, the long-time lighting designer for country superstar Thomas Rhett. Lighting the multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s Bring The Bar To You tour, the LD could sense the crowd enter different emotional spaces as his client moved from one location on the set to another. “We had a B stage that Thomas Rhett walked on for a few songs,” said Takahashi. “This allowed us to create stripped down moments for him to get closer to fans. When he did this, the crowd subconsciously relaxed and became a little loose. You could literally feel the crowd relax and engage when he moved to that stage, and then you could feel the energy skyrocket with no walls when he returned to a full band performance on the main stage.”Read More »CHAUVET Professional Helps Alec Takahashi Connect Thomas Rhett To Crowd

“When I make my music, I want people to feel good, I can really feel that when they sing the lyrics back to me,” house heavyweight Sonny Fodera told an interviewer from Forbes earlier this year. The Australian-born star must have had no doubt that his music was having the desired elixir effect on his audience recently, when he performed two sold-out shows at O2 Academy Brixton. Throughout both shows, the walls of the iconic concert venue reverberated with fans responding to the highly emotive songs from his recently released fifth album “Wide Awake,” and other recordings.Read More »BIGABOX Calls on CHAUVET Professional to Support Sonny Fodera at O2 Academy Brixton

Mike Grabowski was thrilled with his experience designing the multiple stages under his purview for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in Times Square this year, except for one thing. His single regret didn’t involve the rain that fell for much of the evening, either. After all, the “unpredictability of nature,” comes with the territory when lighting outdoor events, said The Lighting Design Group’s senior designer. Plus, given that most of his rig was IP65 rated, he had little to worry about regarding the showers. (He and the team have seen a lot of challenging weather, being at Times Square on NYE, for over a decade of these shows.)Read More »CHAUVET Professional Creates NYE Magic for Mike Grabowski and The Lighting Design Group
