Rock Legend Bruce Springsteen and The big and powerful E Street Band kicked off their 2023 tour, marking the first time in six years that Springsteen and the E Street Band have toured together, which featured new songs, deep cuts, hits. However, it’s not just a high-energy musical tour that fans fell head over heels for, but also the lighting aesthetic that worked well and conveyed what they performed.

LD Jeff Ravitz reveals equipment choices where one of ACME’s latest product LYRA plays a key role. " We’re using the ACME LYRA as our key light. Every band member gets a key light from one or two angles," he said. Because of dual color rendering mode and surprisingly high mode, "The LYRA has excellent color rendition and it’s bright enough to pick out any of the performers through any amount of competing stage light". Though there are different visual laying of competing lights, LYRA is able to build up the central focus with unique character.

"One of the more important things to me, on this show, was that we had IP65 rated fixtures." Being an IP66-rated fixture, LYRA is competent to an outdoor working scenario. Weighing only 40kgs, transportation and installation will be time-saving.

Two gobo wheels, 1 colors wheel, 1 animation wheel and linear CMY system allows for an unlimited number of colors and an unlimited number of pattern. So every song gets their own unique recipe of pattern and color movement, giving LD artistic motivations to create variety. "There’s so much ambient light onstage, and I found the LYRA to be up to the task." said Ravitz.

A battery of wash lights and wide zoom range that can do various very visible stage focuses, a big, solid beam of light and four framing shutters that bring more shapes to visual composition are all featured in one compact and all-round fixture.

LYRA represents a true impression of ACME’s imagination and research power and continues to turbocharge more concert touring shows.
