Products
AU:tour is our popular flightcase-mounted, touring control rack. This plug-and-play wheeled cabinet is built for touring, with simplified operation via touch panels and the capacity for enhanced remote diagnostics using broadband connectivity.
AU:tour is used primarily for rock concerts, musicals, small-scale and short-run theatre productions and corporate events, but has proven useful for permanent venues that wish to keep their automation system portable and ultra-flexible.
The system consists of a number of modules, which allows the system to be configured for anything from a short term theatre winch rental, to a long running large musical with many axes (for more details see the AU:tour technical page). AU:tour is ideal for use with our BigTow winches but may be used with other equipment too, such as stage lifts, tracks and numerous other applications.
AU:tour is available now from our rental team and can be provided at short notice (subject to stock).
