Sound On Stage Invests in RobeThe latest Middle East technical production company to invest in Robe products is Sound On Stage, based in Lebanon and the UAE, and run by Mazan and Rawad Saad. The company, well known as an audio specialist, wanted to expand its operation to include lighting, so it recently made an investment in Robe's Robin LEDWash 1200 and 600s, MMX Spots, and LEDBeam 100s to kick start its lighting rental stock. Sound On Stage supplies design services, equipment, and crew for a variety of different corporate events, presentations, live concerts, and shows. The deal was co-ordinated by Robe's Middle East sales manager Elie Battah. Says Rawad Saad, "We really liked the Robin range for its light weight, which makes the physical handling extremely easy." He adds that Robe's reputation for reliability and robustness was another key reason leading to their decision, together with the after-sales support they receive from Battah and the Middle East service team. "While we have been a sound company, we have also kept a keen eye on developments in the lighting industry, and think that Robe is currently the only brand offering a wide range of state-of-the-art moving light products," states Rawad Saad. Sound On Stage has already used its new Robe fixtures on several events and are expecting a busy upcoming show season. The Sound On Stage crew appreciate the MMX Spots for their light weight and multiple features, and the LEDBeam 100s for their fast movement and very bright output. The LEDWashes are proving excellent all-round workhorse fixtures for any show, with their smooth, versatile color mixing system.
