Gear Reviews

“Gordo thought of having the lampshades as he wanted a WOW moment…He wanted something high-impact that accentuated the depth and spatiality of the full space, and the twinkling lanterns “always get a great reaction,” he noted.

The Ayrton Kyalami is one of the more unique looking lighting fixtures we have seen in quite some time; a moving light that almost looks like a dome camera

It is a great strobe, it is a true strobe, and it doesn’t try to be anything else. It is very bright and very durable.

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.
