World Music Awards 2007 with A&O’s FALCONs

A&O Technology supplied and installed a total of 14 FALCON® FLOWER 3kW for the World Music Awards 2007 in Monaco. The project took 5 days from construction to dismantling. During this time, A&O supervised the installation and lighting of the FALCON® lighting systems. Lighting designer Manfred “Ollie” Olma (mo2 design) developed the lighting design and operating for the event. A special feature that made the planning of the lighting design more difficult was the high number of mirrored wall elements that were used in the studio location on site.

The prizes at the World Music Awards are not awarded through a voting procedure, but on the basis of sold sound carriers. Artists such as Rihanna, Akon, Avril Lavigne, Laura Pausini, David Guetta and Cascada were present at this year’s event.
