The Emilio Gavira theater renews its lighting with ETC

From the hand of Stonex, have been assembled 22 ETC ColorSource Spot V Zoom, 10 with a 15-30° optic in the front gallery, 6 with 25-50° optics and others 6 with 15-30° optics on stage.

Located in the city of Alcazar de San Juan (Royal City), he Emilio Gavira theatre has pioneered the installation of the new cutout that incorporates much of ETC's color research, the v series. This is shown as a premium and very versatile option for spaces of all formats..

They have been assembled, from your official distributor Stonex, 22 ETC ColorSource Spot V Zoom, 10 with a 15-30° optic in the front gallery, replacing the 8 cuts of 2 Kw each that was previously; 6 with 25-50° optics and others 6 with 15-30° optics on stage. These replace the same number of conventional spotlights with the same characteristics, but with a 1Kw lamp each bulb.

The Emilio Gavira theater has a capacity of 847 seats and develops an important theatrical and musical activity, in addition to different conference schedules, conferences and cinema, being a cultural reference of the city.

The space was looking for a team with great performance, very versatile and with good energy efficiency, since they coexist with some conventional equipment.

ColorSource Spot V

The ColorSource Spot V incorporates the technology of 5 ETC colors, with a red LED matrix, verde, azul, indigo and lime. Thanks to the mixture of red and lime, better warmth is achieved, while blue and lime provide better CTB concealers. With them it is possible to create cakes, more pleasant saturated and greater quantity and better quality of ambers, whites and concealers.

In addition to good colors, great consistency and color integrity is achieved thanks to its calibration and thermal compensation algorithms..

How do you explain Paco Librado, technical director of Emilio Gavira “the ColorSource Spot V takes very good care of the tones that you want to achieve, What was previously done conventionally with gelatin is now integrated into a single device, In addition to achieving very bright tones, it has a very considerable light power.”.

Versatility and energy efficiency

The V series incorporates higher-end functions and features such as NFC for configuration, Multiverse Wireless DMX, a soft focus diffuser, powerCON True 1, DMX/RDM in/trhu…And can be configured with a wide variety of optics and accessories..

This gives it great versatility that for Paco Librado has been key in the decision, since equipment was needed that “would allow generating all the effects of the work.”, managing to meet the most demanding scenography and staging objectives”.

The V Series is a very sustainable option thanks to its low consumption without sacrificing performance, something key for the technical director who highlights that “it is very important to think about energy efficiency. The main advantage of the ColorSource V is that they consume fewer watts. You get approximately a 80% energy saving, without any loss of power compared to conventional ones, It must also be taken into account that there is a significant saving in lamps and gelatin filters”.

The cutout thus becomes an optimal option for any space that seeks performance., versatility and energy efficiency at a reasonable price.

“The ColorSource V is a very quiet device, even at full capacity, With which noise pollution is minimal but it also releases less heat so the theater's air conditioning system works at a lower performance., which also represents significant economic savings.”, says Paco Librado.
