First Robe DigitalSpot 7000 DTs in UK at Leeds Academy
Products, sound, may 2007, COMMENTS
The first Robe DigitalSpot 7000 DTs have been installed in the UK – into the new Leeds Academy live music venue, which also includes a substantial Anolis architectural lighting scheme.
The DigitalSpot 7000 DT is Robe’s powerful new moving light/video projector fixture, a unique Digital Moving Light offering the dual functionality of digital projection and LED-based colour washes. They are integrated to work with the numerous screens dotted around the venue and utilized for digital signage, messaging and promotional applications - in addition to their role in shows with video content.
The DigitalSpots can be hung from a choice of two positions - either on a rail running around the balcony or on the front over-stage truss - and used for onstage projections or around the room and audience.
The venue’s Grade 1 listed status dictated that there could be no direct flying of kit above the stage, so instead a large mother grid constructed from JTE triangular trussing has been installed, from which three 9-metre trusses are sub-hung. This gives approximately 7.5 metres of headroom between stage and the bottom rail of the trussing.
There are another two large elliptical trusses flown over the auditorium, both with 5 x 7 metre internal diameters and a screen stretched between the internal rails of the truss. They can be lowered from the auditorium roof to make the space more intimate, and moved into an infinite variety of different positional combinations to change the spatial feel and nature of the room.
Main room lighting fixtures include eight Robe ColorSpot 700E ATs and eight ColorWash 575E AT Zooms, six Robe ColorSpot 250E ATs rigged on the elliptical trusses, ten Atomic strobes, eight bars of 6 PARs, four 8-lite Moles, four Robe 4-cell REDBlinder 248s, eight ETC Source Four Juniors for key lighting and Look Solutions Unique hazer and Viper atmospheric effects.
