ZLIN, Czech Republic — Powerdance specified and installed a Robe moving light rig for the recently-opened Morava club in this university town, which was a “no brainer” according to Šiška Zdenek, who worked closely with the club’s lighting operator, Miroslav Werunsky on this project. Morava is an intimate space and headroom is limited, so Zdenek was looking for low profile unobtrusive fixtures, and decided on four Robe ClubSpot 160 CTs and 4 ClubRoller 150 CTs, which are installed on minibeam trussing. The club also features an extensive LED installation and some generic lighting, all driven by a Robe CyberControl PC-based system.
“Eight units give me more than enough options to create a good looking lightshow that I can run for several hours each night,” Werunsky said.
The ClubSpot 160 CT’s compact body offers a color wheel with 6 dichroic filters, a rotating gobo wheel with seven replaceable gobos, shutter, variable strobe effect and manual focus. It is well-suited for small spaces needing visual impact, and it has been spec’d in several of Powerdance’s other club installations.
The ClubRoller 150 CT scanner has a barrel mirror, a classic club effect that Robe recently re-launched, updated with new electronics and software. It can also be used in stand-alone mode, and has “auto” and “music” trigger options for easy control.
The gobo wheel features 13 new gobos and a color wheel with 11 dichroic filters plus a UV effect filter and three multi-color filters. The shutter is also capable of fast strobing.
The laser is rigged to a Robe MediaSpinner 50 AT to give the additional flexibility of being able to turn in different directions.
Robe’s Cyber Control is PC-based and user-friendly, creating a visualization of all types of lighting fixtures including conventionals plus all the parameters of intelligent lights. This results in a 3D visualization of the show, including realtime beam, gobo and iris simulations. It comes with a large fixture library of the most popular and commonly found moving lights.
All the Robe equipment for Morava was supplied to Powerdance via Robe’s Czech Republic and Slovakian distributor, KVS.
