Mamedia
group s.r.o. teamed up recently with SGM to deliver a full outdoor event
concert package for the Nakhchivan city municipality in Azerbaijan; this
included all technical project design and event management.
“Not
having had any outdoor equipment before, we wanted to offer them a flexible
solution in sound and light from top manufacturers, so I chose SGM for the lighting
and K-array for the PA system,” explains CEO Boris Abdul.
The
eight G-Spots used for this open-air show were the first shipment of these
unique fixtures received by Mamedia, who since 2004 have deployed SGM’s 1200
spots to high satisfaction. Even though the fixtures are still in good
condition, Mr. Abdul wanted to expand his stock with the new LED moving head.
“In my opinion, the G-Spot is the most advanced and innovative moving head in
the world market today. The weather in Baku [capital of Azerbaijan] is extreme;
we have 250 windy days per year and high humidity –environments that normally
kill any electronic equipment used outdoors. My SGM 1200 spots have survived
these conditions and are still functioning as rental fixtures. Based on this
trial experience, I’m offering SGM products to any client in Baku as equipment
with ‘local mentality’, he smiles.
Having
selected the G-Spot for clear-cut reasons such as IP65 rating, high output of
17,000 lumens and a design, which he describes as “awesome”, Mr. Abdul is
highly focused on the units as a LED lamp. “It’s the 21th century and engineers
should forget all about mercury lamps and keep this planet healthy and safe.
Recycling of mercury and indium contained in the HMI and MSR lamps, is a long
and expensive process.” he states.
