Metropool Hengelo boosts Robe moving light stock

Metropool Hengelo, a venue based in the Twente region, of the Overijssel province in east Netherlands, has been investing in Robe moving lights over several years. The latest batch was recently delivered by Benelux distributor Controllux, comprising LEDBeam 350s, LEDBeam 150s, T1 Profiles and T11 Profiles. These are added to the existing Robe LEDBeam 150 and Viva CMY fixtures, now totalling 44 moving lights in the 800-capacity main hall with 16 in the venue’s 200-capacity small hall.

The Foundation Metropool Poppodia van Twente which runs Metropool Hengelo also manages another venue, Metropool Enschede, which also has two similar sized halls. Between these four event spaces, an average of 14 shows (live music, dance and club nights, and other events) are staged over a weekend.

Metropool Hengelo already had sixteen Robe LEDBeam 150s rigged in its big hall, so the larger LEDBeam 350s both add to and complement these. This enabled the replacement - and serious enhancement - of the old remaining PAR cans that were previously a staple of the lighting rig with these new LEDBeam 350s.

When the twelve new LEDBeam 350s arrived on site in Hengelo, eight of the LEDBeam 150s were transferred to their small hall. The T1 Profiles are mainly for front lighting, keys, and specials in the main hall. The T11 Profiles are installed in overhead positions in the small hall. The house lighting console is a GrandMA, and often LDs will also bring in their own control and hook that into the house rig.
