Electrosonic SA’s Entertainment Tech Team at ISE 2026: Global Partnerships, Local Impact

South Africa does not do small when it comes to theatre and live entertainment. From hard-working theatre stages and touring concert rigs to large-scale outdoor shows, local productions expect the same impact, reliability, and creative freedom seen on international stages. Electrosonic SA delivers exactly that, supplying world-class lighting, control, and entertainment technology trusted globally, backed by long-standing supplier partnerships and decades of real-world experience in live production environments.

Professional lighting designers and rental companies depend on equipment that integrates seamlessly into real production workflows, supports fast turnarounds, and delivers predictable results under pressure. Electrosonic SA’s focus at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 is engaging directly with our global suppliers to ensure the solutions we represent locally meet those expectations in practice.

ISE 2026, taking place from 3 to 6 February in Barcelona, is where performance lighting, control, rigging, video, and communication technologies are tested against real production demands. Our focus is clear: bringing back solutions that keep local stages, rigs, and crews operating at a global standard, without compromise.
