7th Jul 2005 - Leap Frog and Frog Box for historical Swiss Circus.

“Circus Nock” is one of the largest touring Circus Companies in Switzerland. Founded in 1860, the circus has been in the Nock family for 7 generations and includes over 100 vehicles, 7Km of cable and over 4500 light bulbs!!

When it came to replacing their lighting console, Zero 88 was first on their list. LD Stefan Ionut had been using a Zero 88 Sirius 250 for the last 6 years and was delighted with the reliability of the console. “The circus environment is very harsh, with a lot of dirt, a lot of dust and demanding touring schedule. The Sirius 250 never let us down,” he explained.

However, with the addition of a number of Claky Paky Alpha Spots to the rig and an increasing number high-risk attractions Stefan needed a console that could handle moving lights and offer a full back up system. That meant the Frog range.

Roberto Campana from Zero 88’s Swiss Distributor ECM demonstrated the Leap Frog and the Frog Box to the Stefan and the management team, and they were hooked. “ The Leap Frog has an impressive amount of features for the price and the built in effects engine will enable quick and easy set up of lighting effects when were on the road” continued Stefan. “The Frog Box is essential as a backup system because we need to know that the lighting will work even if something happens to the console. When you are working with lions in the ring the safety of the crew and audience is very important. There is no other manufacturer with a full replay and backup unit like the Frog Box.”

Zero 88 products were specified and supplied by Thomas Gottschlich of ECM (Electric Claudio Merlo) from Lugano in the south of Switzerland.
