    Duroor Nights 2024

    duroor-nights-event-lighting-overview-ras-al-khaimah

    For Duroor Nights, an exclusive stargazing and community engagement gathering, Evolution Technical were appointed to deliver an audio, video and lighting solution that respected the natural environment while supporting the event's astronomy programme.


    With just 30 guests attending, the emphasis was on intimacy, mood, and minimal environmental impact. Every technical element was carefully selected to enhance the guest experience without detracting from the primary attraction - the night sky.

    The Challenge


    Providing technical production for an outdoor astronomy event required a careful balance between functionality and environmental sensitivity.


    The audio system needed to deliver clear speech, background ambience and playback for a small audience without overwhelming the natural surroundings. At the same time, lighting had to provide safe navigation around the venue while minimising light pollution to preserve ideal stargazing conditions.


    The challenge was to create a comfortable and engaging guest experience while ensuring the technology remained discreet and unobtrusive.

    The Solution


    Evolution Technical supplied a compact professional audio system designed to comfortably support the target audience, providing clear coverage for speeches, ambient music and playback throughout the programme.


    PA, Microphones, and supporting accessories were complemented by a dedicated standby Technical crew, ensuring professional operation and technical support for the duration of the event.


    Lighting was designed with equal care. Wireless Astera fixtures were strategically positioned to subtly illuminate pathways and surrounding terrain, guiding guests safely to the main stargazing area. Warm white lighting highlighted key activation points and scenic features, with every fixture carefully controlled to minimize light pollution and maintain the clarity of the night sky.


    By combining discreet audio reinforcement with carefully managed lighting, Evolution Technical delivered a technical solution that supported the main focus of the event while enhancing the overall guest experience

    Image description

    Hosted at Green Halls in Jeddah, the World Pool Championship 2024 brought together the world's top players for one of the most prestigious cue sports tournaments on the international calendar. To support both the live audience and international broadcast, Evolution Technical was appointed to deliver a complete AVL, rigging and special effects solution, creating a dynamic production environment from tournament play through to the championship celebrations.

    The Challenge


    The event demanded a technical solution that could satisfy both live spectators and broadcast audiences while operating within a purpose-built sporting environment.

    mc13-gala-dinner-traditional-band-stage-2024

    For the 13th World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference, Evolution Technical was entrusted with delivering a complete audio and lighting package for the MC13 Ceremonial Gala Dinner at Qasr Al Watan, Abu Dhabi.


    The prestigious event welcomed high-level international delegates for an evening of networking, cultural performances and formal dining, reflecting the UAE's reputation for hosting world-class diplomatic events. Evolution's role was to provide a seamless technical production that supported live performances and speeches while complementing the grandeur of one of the country's most iconic venues.

    The Challenge


    Delivering technical production within the Presidential Palace required meticulous planning, strict adherence to security protocols and logistical coordination across the Evolution Ecosystem.


    The production needed to provide high-quality audio reinforcement, elegant architectural lighting and reliable communications across the venue, while ensuring uninterrupted support for speeches, performances and event operations.


    One of the project's greatest challenges was the limited load-in and load-out schedule. Equipment had to be delivered, installed, tested and removed within tightly controlled access windows without compromising production quality or operational efficiency.

    mc13-gala-dinner-qasr-al-watan-projection-mapping-2024

    The Solution


    Evolution Technical deployed a comprehensive site-wide lighting system built around a Litec ground support box truss, providing the flexibility and coverage required across the gala environment while maintaining the venue's architectural integrity.


    Audio reinforcement was delivered using a complete L-Acoustics sound system, providing exceptional clarity for speeches, live performances and background ambience throughout the evening. An integrated RF system ensured reliable wireless communications for performers and presenters, supporting seamless stage operations.


    To coordinate the event efficiently, Evolution implemented a site-wide communications network that enabled precise show calling and technical coordination across multiple teams.


    To overcome the venue's restricted installation schedule, the project team adopted a rolling 12-hour shift strategy, allowing equipment to be delivered, installed, tested and commissioned within the allocated access periods. Throughout the project, the team successfully managed stringent security procedures while maintaining the highest standards of technical delivery.

    Project Sourfish

    project-sourfish-dubai-2023-outdoor-stage-setup

    Created as an exclusive private celebration, "Project Sourfish" brought together internationally renowned performers for an evening of live entertainment in a bespoke event environment.


    Every element of the production was designed to deliver a premium but intimate guest experience while meeting the technical expectations of A-list artists and their touring teams.


    Evolution was entrusted with the complete Technical production, managing staging, rigging, professional audio, lighting, video playback and show infrastructure to create a system capable of supporting multiple live performances.

    The Challenge


    Unlike a traditional concert, the production combined the expectations of a major live performance with the flexibility required for a private event.


    The venue had to accommodate multiple artists, changing technical riders and rehearsals, while maintaining a polished environment for invited guests.


    With a compressed production schedule, every technical system from staging and rigging to lighting, audio and video had to be installed, integrated and fully commissioned within a single day, leaving sufficient time for rehearsals before the event.

    project-sourfish-dubai-2023-audience-view-live-show

    The Solution


    Evolution developed a purpose-built production environment centred around a Litec ground-supported stage and truss system, providing a secure platform for lighting, audio and performance equipment. Professional sound reinforcement, dynamic lighting and video playback systems were integrated into a unified production workflow, ensuring every performance was supported by reliable technical infrastructure.


    Behind the scenes, a dedicated fibre-based Luminex AVL network connected the production systems, allowing efficient signal distribution and communication between departments while providing the flexibility needed to accommodate live show changes throughout the evening.

    Delivery Highlights 


    • Delivered complete technical production for a private entertainment event.
    • Installed a Litec ground-supported stage and truss structure.
    • Designed and deployed a professional concert audio system using HK Audio line arrays and L-Acoustics amplification.
    • Supplied Shure PSM 1000 in-ear monitoring and professional stage monitoring systems.

    • Managed lighting control through High End Road Hog consoles.
    • Delivered professional video playback systems for live show content.
    • Integrated a Luminex fibre network for AVL signal distribution and system control.
    • Completed installation, commissioning and artist rehearsals within a single production day.

    Underground Party ICD 2023

    icd-underground-party-dj-booth-equipment

    Held within the B2 car park at ICD Brookfield, Underground Party ICD transformed an industrial basement into an immersive underground music venue.


    Working alongside VCA Group, Evolution Technical delivered the complete audio and lighting package, creating a raw club environment that complemented the venue's exposed architectural setting while supporting an evening of live DJ performances.

    The Challenge


    Converting an operational underground car park into a temporary nightlife venue required a carefully considered technical approach. With limited power availability, restricted installation space and the need to preserve the industrial character of the location, the production had to maximise visual impact without relying on large-scale infrastructure.

    icd-underground-party-crowd-and-dj-lighting

    The Solution


    Evolution supplied a professional DJ setup featuring Pioneer CDJ-3000 players and a DJM-900 mixer, supported by a high-output HK Audio sound system that delivered powerful, balanced audio throughout the venue.


    Lighting was designed to enhance the raw aesthetic of the space rather than disguise it. Generic profile fixtures illuminated the lounge areas, while Astera Titan Tubes and AX5 uplights were strategically positioned around the structural columns to create depth, colour and dynamic architectural lighting throughout the venue. The combination of carefully controlled lighting and high-quality audio transformed the concrete environment into a vibrant underground club experience.

    Delivery Highlights 


    • Complete audio and lighting production.
    • Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 mixer + CDJ-3000 Professional DJ equipment.
    • High-output HK Audio PA system.
    • Architectural lighting design throughout the venue.
    • Astera Titan Tubes and AX5 wireless uplights.
    • Ambient lighting for lounge and guest areas.
    • Technical installation, programming and live event support.
