Prolight+Sound
Frankfurt Fun in
The annual pilgrimage to Frankfurt had me full of anticipation for new product and innovation, and is increasingly becoming an international product launch platform. I concentrated on Halls 8, 9, and 11, as there was simply too much to see in each of the halls, so I apologise if I missed anybody. The following are purely my own personal highlights of this years show, and I present them in no particular order! The first product I noticed was the Christie
Projector YK200 on a moving yoke, which has great quality optics, and accurate fast movement, sadly even though I waited to get more details I didn’t get a price, but I have to assume if I have to ask I can’t afford it!
Chauvet was showing a large number of all new products, all of which make an impressive statement to the market leaders that Chauvet are a force to be reckoned

There were a number of other impressive stands this year, and one that really caught my eye was Robe’s. Robe always have a classy stand and this years was no exception with giant multicoloured Newton Balls hanging centre stage, and the huge roster of Robe Effects. I was very taken with the possibilities of the City flex unit, which was shown very effectively on a large display.
