PROLIGHT+SOUND FRANKFURT / 4-7 APRIL
Another year, another Prolight+Sound (PL+S) and all eyes were on the show this year as it continues to battle for the top spot. Having lost some significant brands in recent years, the pressure was on to ensure no more make the decision to pull out. Generally speaking, the lighting and video companies seemed happy with the show and the turnout, but not all audio companies felt the same. Organiser Messe Frankfurt, also announced there would be yet more hall changes for 2019, moving audio back into hall 8, but leaving lighting and video in halls 3 and 5. For us, keeping all elements of the show together, makes the most sense, and it would appear a lot of exhibitors agree. The decision to move Musikmesse back in line with PL+S though - instead of just overlapping by a couple of days - was welcomed, as it means companies that exhibit at both can be more cost effective

and efficient with staff. With split opinions, it appears the jury is still out on this one. Highlights from the show floor this year: ADB organised a party with industry peer, Clay Paky and its common parent company, OSRAM, and above all, showcased its innovative booth with all the most significant products on display. Absen, presented its NXTGEN technology featuring the recently unveiled Polaris and Altair range for the rental market. Also on show was the company’s new COBALT platform featuring Absen Chip-on-Board (COB) encapsulation technology and NanoShield technology alongside its HBB (High Brightness Black) with Common Cathode LED driver technology solutions. The NXTGEN COBALT technology has been specifically developed to meet the demands
of NPP LED in live event rental applications. Absen has developed the Polaris Series with COBALT, providing exceptional product stability, as LEDs are surface bonded and solid-state. Low surface point temperatures and advanced heat dissipation technology delivers 50% lower pixel failure than traditional SMD LED. Adam Hall Group presented its comprehensive range of products from the pro audio, lighting, stands and stage equipment sectors. This included the LD Systems CURV 500 TS compact touring array system with all-round capabilities. Equipped with four array satellites (two duplex satellites with twin-speaker configuration and two single satellites), the CURV 500 TS has a narrower vertical dispersion for projecting a suitably punchy and dynamic sound, even to the rear of the audience.
