AUSTRALIA: Canberra-based Elite Event Technology (EET) has capped off 2024 with a series of significant investments, further strengthening its position as one of Australia’s premier providers of world-class audio and lighting solutions. Known for its commitment to innovation and excellence, EET’s latest additions to its inventory highlight its forward-thinking approach to serving diverse event requirements.

EET’s partnership with d&b audiotechnik continued to flourish, as the company added the XSL line array modules to its already extensive SL Series inventory. As one of the earliest adopters of the GSL system globally—and one of the few in Australia—EET welcomed the XSL system with great enthusiasm, recognising its versatility and impressive performance capabilities.

The company first took delivery of 16 units of the XSL line array modules along with the SL-G Sub subwoofers in September-October 2024, followed by an additional 12 units in November 2024; with the acquisition underscoring EET’s dedication to staying at the forefront of audio technology and ensuring that clients benefit from cutting-edge systems capable of delivering exceptional sound quality.

The procurement of the XSL system was facilitated by National Audio Systems (NAS), the official partners for d&b audiotechnik in the region; with EET expressing gratitude to NAS for their invaluable support throughout the purchase process and ensuring a smooth and timely delivery of the new equipment.

In addition to enhancing its audio capabilities, EET made substantial upgrades to its lighting inventory as well.

In November 2024, the company bolstered its existing stock of ACME Lighting Pixel Line IP fixtures by adding 24 more units to its existing collection; with the company recognizing the versatile fixture are renowned for their robust build and exceptional performance which makes them ideal for a wide range of applications.

Earlier, in September 2024, EET took delivery of 32 units of the IP65-rated ROBE iSpider fixtures, further solidifying its extensive inventory of ROBE Spider fixtures, which now totals nearly 100. According to EET, the iSpider’s weather-resistant design and advanced functionality make it a valuable addition for outdoor events and demanding environments. The company had also, in the earlier part of 2024, expanded on its existing inventory of BMFL wash beams from ROBE, while adding several units of the MegaPointe moving lights as well.

And to complement its growing inventory of high-performance fixtures, EET also invested in advanced control solutions. The company acquired the grandMA3 Lite lighting controller from MA Lighting, a versatile and powerful system that provides precise control and flexibility. The controller was supplied by Show Technology Australia & New Zealand, the official partners for MA Lighting in the region.

EET’s strategic investments in lighting equipment extended across the year; as early in 2024, the company took delivery of 32 units of the Martin Professional MAC One fixtures. Known for their reliability and creative potential, these fixtures have already proven invaluable for delivering dynamic lighting designs for EET; with the purchase and delivery once again facilitated by Show Technology Australia & New Zealand, reinforcing the trusted relationship the two companies share.

EET asserts that by prioritising quality, innovation, and adaptability, the company is well-equipped to meet the demands of clients across a wide range of events – from intimate gatherings to large-scale productions – with their 2024 acquisitions not only expanding EET’s technical capabilities but also reaffirming its position as a leader in the professional audio-visual sector.
