Show Technology, MA Lighting’s Australian distributor, recently took the grandMA2 on a Australian tour with special launches held in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Over 300 industry professionals came to see the new grandMA2.

”We’re particularly excited by the new grandMA2 in Australia as grandMA is definitely the preferred control system for serious work here,” commented Emmanuel Ziino, Managing Director of Show Technology. “The commitment and support offered by the team back in Germany is second to none and we are proud to distribute such acclaimed and respected products.”

“The actual size of the grandMA2 is what interests me the most as we are often limited by space at events,” commented Stavros Hatzipantelis from Pro Light & Sound in Melbourne. “We don’t want huge format lighting consoles but we still need to control 20, 30 or 40 fixtures so it has to have horsepower! The grandMA2 gives you all the control for a small footprint.”

”It’s a console that has just added to what was already fantastic control surface,” remarked Jeff Morgan from Lots of Watts in Sydney. “The capability of the I/O's of the grandMA2 and the fact it can be worked into a network of classic series consoles, makes it almost ageless for the next 10 -15 years. And there’s more fader capability with the available grandMA2 faderwing. I can't wait to get my hands on the new grandMA!”

Show Technology has reacted to the current market conditions by continuing to invest strongly in marketing, product demonstrations and stock availability. The creative team work had to design inspirational events with a twist. In Sydney the grandMA2 launch was held on the set of “So You Think You Can Dance”, in Melbourne it was at a yet-to-be-opened and much hyped new nightclub whilst the Brisbane event was turned into a carnival complete with colour changing festooning, coloured LED balls, pinball, foosball and arcade machines.
