White Light equips its SmartStage extended reality studio with Bolero by Riedel

Riedel‘s Bolero devices have been the communication equipment chosen by production services company White Light for SmartStage, its extended reality studio.

Based in London, White Light has been providing complete technical solutions for projects such as theatrical productions, corporate events, live broadcasts or music since 1971.

When it came to choosing a new communication solution for its day-to-day operations, as well as for its SmartStage extended reality studio, the company opted for Riedel’s Boléro.

Jonjo Glynn, Venues Director at White Light, explains the decision: “One of the many things that sets Bolero apart from other wireless intercoms is its ability to support multiple categories of users, such as camera operators, production managers, and Zoom technicians. With Bolero’s programmable beltpack, users are able to customise their setup to meet their individual needs, and user groups can be programmed to hear only specific types of comms from other groups. This type of flexibility allows us to communicate in ways that were previously impossible for events, whether crew members are on location or virtual.”

For his part, Nachos Lee, sales manager for Riedel Communications in the U.K., believes that the SmartStage environment has been instrumental in further energizing business activity in London’s Blackfriars district: “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, White Light’s SmartStage has revolutionised the delivery of virtual events for a broad range of clients — and its technology has won several awards for innovation. As part of that award-winning technology package, Riedel’s Bolero has shown once again just how versatile and flexible the system is for any type of live event, whether attendees are calling in virtually or attending live.”
