Wiener Events have added 3 Frog 2 Lighting consoles their inventory, each complete with 2 x 3M touch screens to maximise their usability on the fly.The Frog 2 made its Austrian debut with the Vienna State Opera Ballet on their production of “Walzerreigen” in August. The performance was staged at the Kaiserzelt on Lake Altaussee with lighting design by Rudolf Fischer. The Frog 2 controlled the comprehensive lighting rig, which included 18x Martin MAC 600, 18x Martin MAC 2000, 16x 6-Bar PAR 64 1kW, 12x Arri 2kW Fresnell, 12x Floodlight 1kW, 12x UV Tube 36W and 2x UV Flood 400W.
Managing Director of Wiener Event Technik, Erich Kulicska was first introduced to the consoles in September when he attended a Frog 2 workshop hosted by Franck Tiesing of Zero 88 and Sven Paulsen of RTC Fürstler Sound and Light KEG, Austria.
Erich was looking to increase his console inventory and was amazed at the Frog 2’s impressive feature set. “The Frog 2 fits all the criteria for our rental consoles including individual timing of channels and quick access to all desk data. In addition, both Zero 88 and RTC have been incredibly supportive in terms of initial demonstrations, training and general after sales support. It is reassuring to know that the consoles not only work under pressure but are also backed by such outstanding service” he explained.
