Large Control Set

Description

Many events use audiovisual equipment to support presentations, music, or other productions. This equipment is often operated from a central control location, also known as the Front of House (FOH). Various control panels, mixing consoles, and other technical equipment are placed at this location. However, this creates a practical problem: a tangle of cables and equipment that is not always desirable to have in plain sight.

An effective solution for this is a pipe drape FOH skirt. With this set, you can easily screen off the control area, keeping cables and equipment out of sight and making the space look neat and professional.

Why choose a pipe drape FOH skirt?

At most events, it’s important that audiovisual equipment is easily accessible to technicians, but not visually disruptive for the audience. The FOH control is usually located at the back of the venue or event area, where control equipment such as light and sound mixers are set up. This means that many cables, screens, and technical equipment converge at this location.

To prevent a cluttered appearance and neatly screen off the equipment, a pipe drape FOH skirt is used. This system not only ensures a tidy and professional look but also prevents unauthorized access to the equipment. Additionally, the skirt can help with sound isolation and light reduction, minimizing disruptive reflections and unwanted light on the stage or screen.

What’s included in the large FOH skirt set?

This set is designed based on the versatile pipe drape system and is ideal for creating a FOH screen. The uprights have a fixed height of 120 cm, which is sufficient to completely hide a standard table with equipment placed on top.

Additionally, this set includes three extendable crossbars that are flexibly adjustable. The minimum length of the crossbars is 120 cm, and they can be extended to a maximum length of 180 cm. This means that the total width of the screen can be expanded to up to 9 meters. Thanks to this flexibility, the control set can be easily adapted to the specific dimensions of your control setup. Of course, the necessary drapes are included to neatly screen everything off and ensure a professional appearance.

Are you looking for a smaller or more compact solution? We also offer this FOH skirt set in other sizes, such as small and medium, so you can always find a suitable solution for your event.

What material are the drapes made of?

The drapes in this pipe drape FOH skirt set are made of high-quality Molton CS fabric. This material is known for its flame-retardant properties, making the set safe to use at events. Safety is indeed an important factor at events where many people gather and where equipment that can generate heat is used.

The fabric has a subtle satin finish, which provides a luxurious and professional appearance. Moreover, the drapes are not pleated, resulting in a sleek and modern look. This makes the set suitable for all kinds of events, from business conferences to large-scale concerts.

Is the FOH skirt also available in other colors?

Although black is the most chosen color for a pipe drape FOH skirt, you may prefer to use a different color to better match the style of your event. Therefore, this set is also available in white.

The white variant, like the black one, is made of flame-retardant Molton CS fabric and also has a satin finish. This color is often chosen for weddings, galas, and other events with a light or elegant appearance. By choosing a white pipe drape FOH skirt, you create a fresh, stylish, and luxurious setting.

How easy is the assembly and disassembly of the FOH skirt?

One of the biggest advantages of a pipe drape system is that it can be easily set up by one person without the need for tools. This also applies to this FOH skirt set.

The setup is simple:

1. Place the uprights firmly on the provided baseplates.
2. Attach a pin to the baseplate and slide the uprights over it.
3. Click the beams firmly to the top of the uprights. If necessary, these can be extended to achieve the desired width.
4. Hang the fabric using Velcro on the beams, so that it stays firmly in place.

Thanks to this modular system, it is possible to set up and break down the FOH skirt in a short time, without the need for additional technical knowledge. This saves time and makes it ideal for events where speed and efficiency are important.
