For their recent New Year Show in the
Turkmenistan Ice Hockey Arena in Ashgabat lighting designer and programmer Umut
Yurtseven, who is just 16 years old, used 1 x grandMA2 full-size console and 1
x grandMA2 light plus 1 x MA NPU (Network Processing Unit) to control dozens of
moving lights, including – amongst others – 46 x Claypaky Sharpy, 24 x Claypaky
Alpha Spot HPE 1200 and 24 x Claypaky Alpha Wash 1200.
“In my opinion MA Lighting manufactures the best
lighting control solutions in the industry”, stated Yurtseven. “The continuous
development of the software is just great as we, the users, can evolve our
shows further and further and let our imaginations run free. It gives me the
power and also the possibilities of creating the shows I want to create. Over
the years I’ve become pretty familiar with MA’s products – I started using the
grandMA2 onPC software when I was nine years old so you can say that I grew up
with the system!”
Serdar Özgür worked as operator. Phantom Event
Engineering provided the lighting equipment. SF SES VE Isik Sistemleri A.S. is
MA Lighting’s exclusive distributor in Turkey.
