Le Maitre's Pyrotechnics and Flames to be Featured in PRG's Live Shows and LEA Awards at Prolight + Sound

Live Events Awards March 11 on the eve of Prolight + Sound 2014

Le Maitre announces the company has been asked to provide the pyrotechnics as well as flame effects for this year's PRG Festhalle exhibit at Prolight + Sound. Live shows will take place 18 times a day over the course of the four day exhibition with free entry for all visitors.

The Festhalle, the main hall at the Frankfurt show, occupies over 32,000-sq.-ft. and will be the home for PRG over the course of the four-day show, March 12 - 15. Visitors will be able to watch a spectacular live event production where they can experience PRG's integration of complex systems using state of the art light, sound, and video technology. Attendees can also go on "behind the scene" tours to learn more about the services and market sectors that PRG serves.

Le Maitre will be providing over 2,000 pyro products in the form of 1 x 35' Gerbs and 30' Gold Glitter Mines, as well as their CometFlames for the 60 shows. Elements Entertainment GmbH will be responsible for the technical and creative implementation.

Le Maitre will also provide the effects for PRG's Live Entertainment Awards (LEA) which will take place on the eve of Prolight + Sound show opening in Frankfurt.

For the fourth year running, PRG's Live Entertainment Awards will be kicking off the international music fair and technology exhibition at the official opening gala on March 11, 2014. The LEA awards go to the people who make things happen behind the scenes in this industry -- the organizers, artist managers, concert promoters, and venue operators, and about 1,300 guests from the national and international music and event scene, will attend the event in the festival hall.

Le Maitre will be providing further flame units and in excess of 200 pyrotechnics for the awards ceremony -- designed by Elements Entertainment GmbH.

Pyrotechnic products will include: large silver Airburst; red and green Starbursts; Line Rockets; 30' red and green Mines with tail; 30' Crackle Mines; 20 x 20' Stage Gerbs; and 1 x 35' Stage Gerbs.

Flame products will include: Chameleons, CometFlames, and a preview of the soon to be launched Salamander Quad Pro.

Le Maitre will also be exhibiting on their own stand 11.0/A48, at Prolight + Sound, showing a full product line-up including: Salamander Quad Pro, Salamander, HazeMaster, MVS Hazer, Neutron Hazer, Mini Mist, G300 and GForce Smoke Machines, Freezefog Pro, and a range of pyrotechnic controllers and samples as well as videos.

Says Rick Wilson, joint managing director of Le Maitre Ltd: "We were delighted to be asked to provide the pyrotechnics and flames for PRGs Prolight + Sound shows. The live productions provide a unique opportunity for visitors to get close to the action and see the fantastic shows that companies like PRG and Le Maitre can put on for the market sectors we serve and which include theatres, TV and film, concert tours, and corporate events."
