New Diva – the best just got better
- 21 Feb 2013
Black Cat Music is delighted to introduce the fully redesigned Diva full-stage acoustical shell from Wenger Corporation. Easier to handle, larger and with greater aesthetic flexibility for architects and designers, the New Diva incorporates numerous functional and aesthetic improvements built on the heritage and operational experience gained from hundreds of custom acoustical shells installed around the world.
Handling and setup are now even easier, with more size and design options now available. Design enhancements that simplify and speed the movement and positioning of Diva towers include a built-in handle at the tower base. In addition a new, lighter air mover offers greater maneuverability than the previous model, plus easier attachment to the tower frame thanks to a new hook assembly. A non-motorized wheeled mover is also available, with swivel casters providing smooth movement in any direction.
The stronger, simplified frame extrusion increases the maximum tower height by eight feet (2.4 m) – up to 40 feet (12.2 m) total permitting the specification of structurally larger Diva acoustical shells. Furthermore, the redesigned extruded ceiling truss now accommodates the additional ceiling lights required by the larger shells. New Diva towers feature a narrower vertical trim strip, now integrated into the panel edges as a subtle aesthetic feature that will be appreciated by architects and designers. This trim strip can be finished a variety of ways such as painted, anodized or with a wood grain texture. For any size Diva shell, designers can specify finish options that integrate the design of the shell's towers and ceiling panels into the overall performance environment.
Although constructed on a common framework, each Diva shell is customized to unique design criteria and manufactured in Wenger's ISO-certified manufacturing facility. In addition Wenger offers complete installation services, on-site training and a five-year warranty.
