Robe MMX Spots for Berlin FestivalRobe moving lights, including 30 MMX Spots and 44 ColorWash 700E ATs, were in action on the main stage at the 2012 Berlin Festival, taking place over two days at the atmospheric Tempelhof Airfield, a former US military base. 20,000 music fans enjoyed a fabulous international line up including The Killers, Sigur Rós, Plan B, Kate Nash, Franz Ferdinand, Orbital, and many more, together with some of the best local and national talent. Lighting for four stages including the main stage was supplied by locally based rental company TSE Corporation. Tilman Schumacher, production lighting designer for the main stage, specified the Robe fixtures (although the rig here was based heavily on Steven Douglas' festival design for The Killers who played a storming Friday night headline slot). Tilman says he likes Robe fixtures generally for their extreme brightness to size ratio. The MMXs and 38 of the ColorWash 700E ATs were hung on the overhead trusses with the other six ColorSpots on the floor. The production lighting rig was controlled with a GrandMA2 full size console, and various bands brought in their own desks. TSE Corp currently has a stock of over 150 Robe moving lights including MMX Spot, LEDWash 600, ColorWash and Spot 2500E ATs, and Color Wash, Spot, and Beam 700E ATs.
