Mister South Africa 2024, held at Vodacom World Events in Johannesburg, was a spectacular showcase of talent and innovation. The event’s bold stage and lighting design, crafted by Son Sound and Entertainment & Event Factory, broke away from traditional pageant aesthetics to deliver a dynamic, immersive experience.

A standout feature of the design was a series of LCB300’s serving as the main visual attraction. The diamond-shaped stage added to the overall aesthetic, featuring a large portrait LED screen as the focal point, with additional LED screens forming the backdrop and floor. This layout provided an immersive experience for the audience, ensuring their full engagement throughout the evening.

The lighting design was pivotal in shaping the event’s atmosphere and visual storytelling. The team achieved a perfect balance of functionality and artistic flair by utilizing a 100% BeamZ Pro rig, which included Ignite180s, Ignite300’s, MHL 1915s and LCB300 LED Bars among others.

“Our vision for the stage and lighting design was to create something fresh and unexpected, moving away from familiar layouts to deliver a bold and dynamic experience,” said Tristan Adamson, COO of Son Sound and head of technical production for Mister South Africa 2024.

]]> Transforming Mr. B’s Sydney with Axiom Pro Audio https://www.avecorp.com.au/mr-bs-sydney-with-axiom-pro-audio/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 23:14:45 +0000 https://www.avecorp.com.au/?p=34503

Mr. B’s, a popular venue in Sydney’s Haymarket, recently underwent a significant AV upgrade to better accommodate live bands and enhance the nightclub experience. With the evolving nightlife scene and a change in ownership, the venue needed a sound system that could deliver high-quality audio across its varied spaces, including an upstairs bar and band room, and the Bolt Nightclub downstairs.

Phil Rigger from Monstereo, who was involved in the original installation, was tasked with revitalizing the venue’s sound system. After considering several options, Phil chose the Axiom Pro Audio AX800ANEO powered line array, supplied by AVE. Impressed by its midrange warmth and unique design, he installed the system in the upstairs area, which now features three AX800ANEO units per side, complemented by two Axiom SW1800A dual 18″ subwoofers. The result is a powerful sound that evenly fills the long, double-height room.

Seeing the success of the upstairs installation, Phil replicated the setup in the Bolt Nightclub, creating a robust 11,000-watt system. The lighting was also upgraded, featuring Chauvet DJ fixtures and Laserworld lasers, controlled via a ChamSys QuickQ console, enhancing the overall ambiance.

This project highlights the importance of choosing the right AV solutions to meet the specific needs of a venue, ensuring a superior audio-visual experience for both performers and patrons.
