Gear Reviews

The Bus+ is one of SSL’s more recent offerings, and one of its best (and most complex) yet.

The main selling point would be that it is a bright LED hybrid moving head boasting exceptional output considering its size

The Rivale really punches above its weight. For such a relatively small fixture it outputs a lot of light

The MAC One figures to be a top seller for Martin and a leader in the small moving head light space for many years to come.

While it’s a fantastic UV light, make no mistake, it’s nothing else. It does not double as a regular LED par. It does one thing and does that exceptionally well.

The SSL Pure Drive Octo preamp offers so many features beyond providing a simple mic/line amplifier that the word ‘Preamp’ in the product name arguably sells this unit well short.

“We’re using them every chance we get because they’re so scalable,” says John. “The amount of output that we get out of them means we need less boxes.”

I just thoroughly enjoyed the whole system. It had really good imaging and was just so well defined.

The Arolla is a 25kg light producing 22,000 plus lumens. This gives you about 880 lumens per kilogram of fixture.

These AECO 5 fixtures are very robust. And they live up to all of the expectations and all the requirements that we have for them.
