– CES purchase a Diamond 4 Vision, the first in South Africa
Martin de Bruyn, Dylan Bridle and Marcelle Wahl from CES
With passion for the Avolites way of programming, Complete Event Solutions have just purchased their third Avolites console, this time the Diamond 4 Vision.
“Complete Event Solutions felt that this desk would be the next step as the Avolite controllers have proven themselves to us over the last two years,” commented Dylan Bridle, from CES. “The backup service on this product is outstanding.”
Adds Martin de Bruyn from CES, “I actually haven’t spent much time on the Diamond 4 yet, but it’s something we always wanted. I had operated on many different consoles but could never find the perfect one to use. Since we went with Avolites, I’ve never looked back.”
CES’s first Avolites console was a Pearl Expert, and being really happy with the performance, when a second smaller desk was needed they opted for a Pearl Tiger which was put to work extensively.
“Due to the type of productions CES have been doing, they’ve struggled to cope with the smaller consoles,” said Duncan Riley from DWR Distribution. “Dylan Bridle and Martin de Bruyn showed some interest in the Diamond 4 Vision. We did a demo and leant them the unit for a show, just to give them an idea of what the console was capable of. After that, Martin was hooked.”
A few months went by and then Dylan attended Mediatech held recently at the Coca Cola Dome. “He passed by our stand, put his business card in the middle of the Diamond console, and told Bruce Riley from DWR that the desk was sold… to him,” says Duncan.
True to his word, just a few weeks after Mediatech, Dylan and Martin took delivery of the sparkling new Diamond 4 Vision with Showsafe, full tracking back-up and capable of 16 universes. DWR Distribution would like to extend a heart-felt thanks for their support and congratulate them on their new purchase.
