076 VENUE
on. Naturally, with our Funktion One system, this is the venue that DJs prefer to play.” Lighting fixtures - supplied by DWR like the rest of the lighting infra- structure - in the room are controlled using an Avolites Tiger Touch. Described as ‘a hybrid of powerful Diamond 4 functionality coupled with the friendly Pearl interface’, the console provides user friendly functionality and high profile venue performance. Dimming is handled by a Philips Strand Lighting wall rack. The fixtures supplied by DWR include 12 Robe 575XT Scanners, six Robe Robin 300E Spots and a Robe Dominator XT1200. With the XT1200, the rotation-speed of the barrel mirrors is fully control- lable. It has a three-facet prism effect, six different gobos and three different dichroic colour filters. It offers a multitude of lighting effects. A total of 12 Robe LEDforce 18 RGBW fixtures and 54 Robe LEDforce 7 RGBW fixtures supply colour washes to the surrounding environment. Four 400W UV cannons complete the room’s lighting line-up.
Discussing the lighting equipment, Bradley explained: “DWR’s Nick Britz did the original layout, however, Gideon Naude and myself have moved the entire rig during the course of last year and are constantly repositioning fixtures to keep the venue fresh or for whatever the client’s needs may be.
“Everyone has their personal favourites, but yes we were very happy
when we found out that Robe and Avolites would be in our arsenal of LX. We love the colour of the Robe fixtures, the combination of Robe 575 scanners and Robe Robin 300E moving heads peppered with LEDforce 18 and 7 cans works well for us making the palette that is Trinity a pleasure to paint every night. These fixtures have been pushed through some high heat and moist, smoky conditions and hardly give us any issues. “The Avolites Tiger Touch is the backbone of our shows. With the big touch screen it makes selecting colours and gobos quicker than ever. Setting up workspace palettes makes multi-user use a joy. And wireless control via an iPad or browser enabled phone makes testing a dream.”
A framework of Prolyte trussing provides hanging points for the fix- tures. There are three Prolyte H30V trusses running across vertically and three of the same trusses running across horizontally overhead,
“It was a great honour to meet Mr Tony Andrews...
He imparted knowledge to us that is invaluable in our
industry and has such a zest for life that is unparalleled.”
in a grid format, installed above the dancefloor and stage, which can be utilised for additional lighting and/or other equipment. There are three beams at ceiling height (approx. 3.8 metres) running along the width of the venue that can be utilised for any additional rigging required with a maximum weight load of two tonnes per beam and 500kg per point. Trinity is a multi-purpose venue, which means a high energy club night can be followed by a corporate gathering the next day. The entertainment technology has been prescribed with that in mind, including the video elements. Motorised projection screens have been installed by Avicom, along with Hitachi CP-X 1000 and Cp-X 5021 projectors. Four Samsung LCD screens can be found in Funktion Room.
Explaining this technology, Bradley said: “The projection elements are used for entertainment and presentations. We have ArKaos Media Master Pro, which we use for VJ purposes when we don’t have an external VJ on the screens at night. During the day PowerPoint presentations on the five metres by four metres projection screen will not be missed.”
Elsewhere in the venue, the same combination of manufacturers can be found.
A complete Audix microphone kit has been supplied by Metropolis Sound & Lighting, along with K&M microphone stands and Radial DI boxes.
All amplification is via Full Fat Audio amplifiers. Three FFA 4004’s, six FFA 6004’s, three FFA 8000’s and a FFA10000 are used to drive the complete system.
All processing is through BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU proces- sors, which are networked and controlled using a tablet PC, allow-
