However, with the addition of a number of Claky Paky Alpha Spots to the rig and an increasing number of high-risk attractions, Ionut needed a console that could handle moving lights and offer a full back up system - which led him to Zero 88's Frog range. Roberto Campana from Zero 88's Swiss distributor ECM demonstrated the Leap Frog and the Frog Box to the Ionut and the management team, and they were hooked. "The Leap Frog has an impressive amount of features for the price and the built in effects engine will enable quick and easy set up of lighting effects when were on the road," says Ionut. "The Frog Box is essential as a backup system because we need to know that the lighting will work even if something happens to the console. When you are working with lions in the ring the safety of the crew and audience is very important. There is no other manufacturer with a full replay and backup unit like the Frog Box."
Zero 88 products were specified and supplied by Thomas Gottschlich of ECM (Electric Claudio Merlo) from Lugano in the south of Switzerland.
