Proteus Hybrid™ Runs Non-Stop for 17,000 Hours

In November of 2018, Elation Professional took one of its award-winning Proteus Hybrid™ IP65-rated moving heads, mounted it to a small truss on the roof of the company’s headquarter building in Los Angeles, and left it there, exposed to the elements, for three years. For nearly two years of that time, the unit ran continuously, some 17,000 hours!

Check out a video of the rooftop Proteus Hybrid at www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKFY0HJPMBE

“It started off as a test subject on top of our roof but as time went on we decided to just leave it up there to see how it would do,” explains Zachary Santana, a Research and Development Technician at Elation. “It’s proven to be a long duration process of non-stop testing and has given us some valuable feedback on how the fixture operates when pushed in an outdoor environment. There’s really no better way to test an IP unit than to expose it to real world elements.”

DPA Enlightens Audio for Holland’s Petruskerk

Founded in 1313, Petruskerk van Leens is one of Holland’s oldest churches and home to its famous, recently restored organ, which has been treasured by parishioners for generations. Once churchgoers were faced with stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19, the church decided to introduce live streaming services to bring mass, and their beloved organ’s music, into the homes of the parish. To help the church design its AV set-up, it called on Bart Hof, owner of HOF AV. Based on his previous use of the mics in live music applications, Hof recommended DPA Microphones to support the audio needs of the church.

“In my opinion, when it comes to the equipment, the simpler and more straightforward way that you approach music is actually the best way to handle audio in a natural way,” Bart explains. “With DPA mics, it’s just a matter of connecting it, and you get this natural sound with no compromise at all.”
