International. Elation Professional kicked off 2020 by winning two distinguished product awards: an Indispensable Technology Award for Artiste Monet and a ProSoundWeb & Live Sound International Readers' Choice Award for Fuze Profile, both cutting-edge LED profile moving heads.
Awarded on January 17 at the Parnelli Awards during the NAMM show, the Indispensable Technology (IT) Award for Lighting marks Artiste Monet's third industry award and eighth Artiste Series award. The IT Awards recognize products that have advanced the state of the art in entertainment technology and are voted on by subscribers to PLSN and FRONT of HOUSE magazines.
At the Anaheim Hilton Pacific Ballroom to receive the award were Eric Loader, Elation's director of sales and marketing, and Matthias Hinrichs, Elation's product manager. "Winning an award never goes out of style and the Indispensable Technology award is very special as it reflects the opinion of the expert users and professionals who use and specify products every day," said Eric Loader. "We are thrilled to once again be recognized as innovators in entertainment lighting."
The 45,000 lumens Artiste Monet is a full-featured LED profile luminaire housed in Elation's 7-flag SpectraColor continuous mixing and color rotation frame systems. Increasingly specified on the production and market installation sides, its growing list of references includes prestigious venues such as The Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
Days earlier, ProSoundWeb readers chose the company's Fuze Profile as a top lighting product in the entertainment technology industry, winning the 2020 Readers' Choice Award (RCA). All votes for an RCA are by ProSoundWeb readers and end users around the world. With over 25,000 votes cast, it is one of the most successful entertainment technology awards programs in the industry.
