Ayrton Rivale Profile debuts in Singapore
Stage 4, a thriving rental company based in Singapore, joins the growing list of Singaporean rental companies to use Ayrton products and the first in Singapore to invest in Rivale Profiles.
The company explained its decision to add Rivale Profile to its stock. “We chose Rivale Profile for our inventory so that we can cater for the wide range of lifestyle and conference related events that we work on. We had been using other brands for around 15 years and we needed to replenish our moving heads. We had heard lots of positive news from the industry about Ayrton and also from many of the programmers in Singapore, and had seen the fixtures in action in venues in Singapore. Initially we’d had a concern about the heat given off by the fixtures, but this was quickly dispelled when we were shown the excellent heat management system of these units, and in fact this was a selling point for us.”
Stage 4 was also very impressed with Rivale Profile’s features. “We particularly like the shuttering, the beams and the continuous pan and tilt and – most importantly for our outdoor events – being IP65 rated and weatherproof.
“The Rivales are also rider-friendly, stylish and extremely rugged. We have several outdoor events lined up with iconic buildings already, so we are very excited to place the Rivales in these venues to create a memorable, long-lasting experience for our clients.
“Most importantly we believe in the Ayrton brand and intend to use them at most of our future events. Our lighting designers and technicians are very happy to have the Rivales available in the rental market and they are excited to be working with them to create great shows”.
An additional factor in Stage 4’s decision was the after-sales support – a critical consideration before making large investments – provided by Ayrton’s exclusive Singapore distributor, Total Solution Marketing
“We have had a great relationship with TSM for many years,” confirms Stage 4. “Their after-sales support is out of this world: they are always on hand to answer our questions, provide the correct equipment and deliver on repairs, and always sensitive to our deadlines. We are very grateful to have them as our partner.”
Tevin Heng, executive Director of Total Solution Marketing, added: “Stage 4 AV is a growing production company that recognises high quality robust equipment. The Ayrton Rivale has quickly become our best-selling moving light that comes with great features, is IP65 rated, lightweight, a great output, all in a compact size package. This makes Rivale a great choice for Stage 4 AV. We are excited that they have invested in this amazing lighting fixture, and we thank them for their continuing trust in our products and services.”
Vijay Thaygarajoo, Ayrton’s Regional Sales Manager APAC, was pleased to comment on this exciting venture. “We sincerely thank Stage 4 AV for placing their trust in Ayrton Rivale Profiles and we are thrilled that the Rivale has surpassed their expectations and is now an essential addition to their lighting arsenal”.
