Chroma Light Focus ceiling installation kits, so they could be mounted in acoustic baffles. “With the Inspire, there is virtually no forward heat emanating from the fixture, which ensures the musicians’ comfort,” Ian continues. “Following the installation of the units, the orchestra can now practice and perform for longer periods. The Inspires are also convection cooled (no fans), which is perfect for a space requiring the ensemble to be the only audible sound. They also have, as standard, additional protection against electrical and audible noise. When measured, the Inspires had no acoustic impact on the venue, even when dimming.” In addition to the tuneable white, the Inspires also have a rich colour palette that can transform the venue when used for small groups or orchestras. “This Inspire lighting system offers the perfect balance of performance, flexibility and efficiency to meet the exacting requirements of a modern, professional orchestra,” says the Royal Scottish National Orchestra’s Director of Presentation and Operations, Nick Lander. “As our Music Director recently commented, 'we're in heaven!'.” The Inspires are being controlled by the venue’s building management system via a DMX512 interface. However, for events that require more complex effects, the fixtures are controlled by an external DMX512 lighting console. The Inspire is an energy efficient fixture, and this is one of many measures designed into the new centre so that it can boast one of the best green ratings of any rehearsal / concert venue in the UK. The Chroma-Q range of premium performance solutions is designed and built to exacting standards in North America, and has been adopted by many leading designers and specifiers for some of today's most demanding and prestigious lighting applications. As a result of this, the brand has received awards from several industry associations. Other venues investing in the Chroma-Q Inspire house light include the Stavanger Concert Hall's 'Kuppelhallen' performance space in Norway; the Rondo and Tyrol MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY, restaurant show dining experiences in Sweden; the historic Pieterskerk venue and ICER innovation centre in Holland; and various Houses of Worship in North America. 49 Get your demonstration of the Chroma-Q Inspire range and other models at the following upcoming tradeshows: CITT Rendez-Vous 2016 – Winnipeg, Canada, 18th – 20th August Booth 1, (Distributor, A.C.
