Royal Oak Music Theatre goes green with Elation LED lighting upgrade

Royal Oak Music Theatre (ROMT) in Royal Oak, Michigan, is a historic cinema turned performance venue. After partnering with promotional entertainment company AEG Live in 2007, ROMT has become one of the Detroit area’s preeminent venues and recently sought to upgrade its lighting system and chose to go with Elation LED fixtures.

 

“We’ve hosted Elation road shows and trainings at ROMT and have had a long relationship with Rob Ludwig at Elation rep firm Five Lakes Marketing. One of the reasons we started our relationship with Elation was to make the Royal Oak Music Theatre a much greener space compared to an older venue with a 120K house rig. That meant upgrading to LED,” Brad Raymond, Production Manager at AEG Live, explains.

 

The lighting upgrade consists of a range of Elation LED moving heads, PAR lights, battens and matrix panels. Because many artists that play ROMT bring their own ground-supported rig on truss sticks, the lighting upgrade gives ROMT the possibility to supplement those rigs with lighting from the air.

 

Raymond completed the lighting design himself, spreading previously installed Elation Platinum Beam 5R Extreme and Design Wash LED Zoom moving heads, installed in the venue two years ago, and the new LED fixtures across an upstage, midstage and downstage truss.

 

Mounted on an upstage T-bar are Platinum Beam 5R Extremes and Platinum Spot LED Pro II moving heads with more Platinum Beam 5Rs alternating with Design Wash LEDs on a midstage pipe. Downstage on the floor are Platinum Spot LED Pro II and more Design Wash LEDs with Design Bricks and Opti Tri Pars are used for uplighting.

 

Elation ELAR Quad Panels, 4 x 4 matrix LED panels, are used as concert blinders or for pixel mapped effects and on occasion to display text. SixPar 300 PAR color changers are used for house lighting, allowing the venue to be lit in traditional white or dressed in color for special occasions.

 

Elation equipment used: 10 x Opti Tri PAR; 10 x Design Brick; 8 x Platinum Beam 5R Extreme; 6 x Design Wash LED Zoom; 4 x Platinum Spot LED Pro II; 8 x SixPar 300; 4 x ELAR Quad Panels; 1 x Antari AF-5 Fan.
