The City Recital Hall Angel Place is a purpose built concert venue situated in the heart of Sydney with the capacity for 1230 guests seated over three tiers of raked seating. This world class concert venue acoustically designed for fine music and spoken word, has an elegant beauty, intimate layout and professional technical services creating a perfect combination for annual general meetings, conferences, meetings and special events.
The time had come to replace their lighting console with a more technically advanced model especially as the venue recently acquired some moving lights.
After a thorough research of the market, Technical Manager Cally Bartley found herself drawn to the ETC range of lighting control consoles.
“I was interested in the Eos and Ion consoles but I was told there was a new console coming out that sits between them and would be ideal,” she commented. “ETC has a fabulous reputation in the lighting fraternity and in conversation with other technical managers I discovered many were taking on the Eos family. There’s a reason why so many have taken up this product.”
The ETC Gio consoles delivers Cally with the power of an Eos lighting system but in a smaller console, sized just right for her budget and space.
The Gio console was made to simplify complex lighting work – with innovative features like backlit buttons (to make working in the dark much easier on the programmer’s eyes) and the power of Eos software. Gio includes two integral, articulating multi-touch displays and supports up to three external displays, all of which can also be multi-touch.
“My technicians are certainly excited by group functions and the ability to map the faders,” reported Cally. “At the same time we purchased some moving head lights so they are learning about the capabilities of moving lights and the ETC Gio has made that a straightforward process.”
