MJ Event Gear’s Theo Rood, Olebogeng Boinamo and Mike Jones with their newly purchased grandMA2 Lite.
With top lighting designers asking for it, MJ Event Gear have upgraded from the grandMA full size to a grandMA2 Lite.
“It was time we got one and Olebogeng Boinamo from our offices has been pestering me!” commented Mike Jones, owner of MJ. “It’s a great product.”
Ole is a talented lighting designer and technician at MJ and having worked on the grandMA full size for numerous years, he developed the MA mind set. “I am ecstatic and enjoying the console very much,” said Ole. “I have not taken it on a show as yet, but I have been playing with it at the warehouse and received training from DWR’s Nick Britz. The desk is perfect and just what I needed.”
Nick Britz from DWR says Olebogeng took to the desk like a duck to water. “Ole was brilliant on the training. He was a very quick learner and I was extremely impressed. MA is second nature to Ole and he just does it. For the future, he certainly is going to be a grandMA power user.”
The grandMA2 Light is choice of many lighting designers and operators. “It’s my favourite console because it’s the right size, has the perfect amount of touch screens and enough faders. To me it’s exactly the same as the full size but more compact,” added Nick. “For MJ it will be perfect for medium to large productions, enabling them not only to use the desk for their own events but also to have another MA2 available on the rental market. We thank them for their continued support and wish them well for the future!”
