South Africa’s Stage Effects steps up in an Ultra Way – Investing in the Martin MAC Ultra Fixtures
By Bruce Schwartz
This investment marks another milestone in the long-standing relationship between Stage Effects, Electrosonic SA, and Martin Professional. For the past 20 years, Stage Effects founder Theo Papenfus and Director Erik De Bruin (Dominee) have been a loyal user of Martin Professional fixtures. From their initial MX-10 fixtures to the industry-standard Martin MAC Vipers, Stage Effects has relied on Martin's reliable and high-performance lighting solutions. The addition of MAC Ultra fixtures further strengthens their ability to handle even the largest and most demanding events.
A few years back, Stage Effects also invested in Martin MAC Viper fixtures, which quickly became a cornerstone of their inventory, delivering outstanding performance in a wide range of events. This legacy laid the foundation for Stage Effects to seek newer and higher-power fixtures, leading them straight to the door of the Martin MAC Ultra fixtures. Without even seeing a demo fixture, Theo engaged with long-time friend and Electrosonic's Lighting Division Sales Manager, Renier Smit. With assistance from Peter Dahlin from Martin Professional, Theo placed his faithand trust in the Martin brand and made the Ultra Step.
With the recent addition of Martin MAC Ultra fixtures, Stage Effects is ready to take on even the largest and most demanding events with confidence. These cutting-edge fixtures offer an array of advanced features and capabilities, allowing the company to create awe-inspiring lighting designs that leave a lasting impression on audiences. The MAC Ultra fixtures boast exceptional brightness, precise colour mixing, and a broad range of effects, enabling Stage Effects to deliver immersive and visually stunning experiences.
Theo, always committed to staying at the forefront of lighting technology, recognizes the potential of the MAC Ultra fixtures to elevate their productions to new heights. The increased power and versatility of these fixtures will enable Stage Effects to push boundaries, creating captivating lighting displays that surpass their clients' expectations. Whether it's a large-scale concert, a grand theatrical production, or a high-profile corporate event, Stage Effects can now rely on the MAC Ultra fixtures to deliver unmatched performance and visual impact.
Electrosonic SA extends its gratitude to Theo and Dominee for their trust and support. We have no doubt that we will see these fixtures shining on many prestigious events to come.
