AV Center is a busy Danish full technical production design and rental company with
five bases across the country – in Odense, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Aalborg and
Kolding – which means they can quickly and practically service any project
anywhere.
The independently owned company was founded 20 years ago and now has 35 full
time staff and a large team of regular freelancers engaged on an array of jobs in all
sectors reaching across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe – from music concerts to
conferences.
AV Center is the proud owners of 17 x new Robe DL4S RGBW LED profile fixtures
which were delivered by Robe’s Danish distributor, Light Partner.
AV Center’s Jens Hansen is one of the rental technicians based in Odense and is also
a lighting designer. He explained that they were impressed by the finesse and style
of the DL4S Profile as well as all the traditional Robe characteristics like bright
output, robust build and good engineering. With Denmark being one of the greenest
countries in Europe, the LED concept is also extremely popular.
“The DL4S Profile will become our new workhorse product,’ he stated, adding that
there has been a lot of buzz about the fixture throughout the country, and the
wireless capabilities are also popular. “We expect this fixture to do really well,’ he
confirmed.
AV Center’s new DL4S Profiles went straight out on a conference staged at the
Hilton hotel in Copenhagen, and have been constantly on other jobs ever since – out
of the warehouse is where any rental company wants to see its stock.
AV Center first invested in Robe fixtures around 10 years ago with ColorSpot 250E
ATs. In the last four years, they have looked at Robe again and purchased MMX
Spots and LEDWash 600s.
Ongoing back-up and support is equally as important as having the right products
on-board, and AV Center has a great working relationship with Light Partner. Jens
comments, “The service is superlative and the guys are really brilliant and
knowledgeable’.
The two companies have been doing business since AV Center started, and the
relationship has steadily built and strengthened. Light Partner also offers
comprehensive free training, on all its products including Robe, which is rare.
Their LEDWashes and MMX Spots were recently in action on TV show
“Landsindsamlingen’ a charity fundraiser live broadcast on national TV2, for which
Jens was the LD.
AV Center works with the Odense Symphony Orchestra – one of the largest and
most respected in the country – and now with the DL4S Profile, they have a fixture
that can be used for orchestral shows without the worry of creating ambient noise
which can break concentration or the “moments’ of the performance. The LDs for the
orchestra is usually either Jens or another full time technician / LD, Kristian S.
Nielsen, who is also really enjoying using the DL4S Profiles.
