Speaking Rock unveils new outdoor stage with all‐Elation lighting system

Speaking Rock Entertainment Center has raised the bar for outdoor live entertainment in El Paso, Texas, by installing a cutting-edge Elation lighting rig for its new outdoor stage. A cornerstone of the community’s live entertainment scene, the venue now features a 100% Elation lighting system designed to meet the demands of high-profile touring acts and large audiences. Elation’s Channel Market Manager, Esteban De La Torre, has a long-standing relationship with Matt Velasquez, Production Director at Speaking Rock, and Speaking Rock lighting designer Efrain Gandarilla, who worked together at Elation dealer HB Electronics. He’s stayed in touch over the years, and when Speaking Rock began planning the upgrade, they shared their vision with De La Torre, who helped guide them in fixture choices. “HB Electronics has been an important partner for many years and are our go-to partner for anything production,” Velasquez stated, adding that he has trusted De La Torre’s opinion on lighting for years. De La Torre created a preview of the rig in Capture previsualization software, which Velasquez and Gandarilla then fine-tuned.

The lighting upgrade for Speaking Rock’s outdoor stage includes a robust lineup of IP65/66-rated fixtures built to withstand El Paso’s dusty outdoor environment. The full Elation rig includes 24 PROTEUS HYBRID MAX, 14 PROTEUS BRUTUS, 14 PROTEUS RAYZOR 1960, 16 PULSE PANEL FX, and 48
