Perfect Ovation is a family-run company with a busy Dubai dry hire facility and a full production operation in Oman supplying lighting, sound, and LED screens to a diverse mix of shows and events.
The company is headed by entrepreneur and music lover Baltazar Fernandez who comes from Goa, India. “Goans are born with music in their bloodstream,” he commented.
Since 2019, Perfect Ovation in Dubai has been investing in Robe moving lights with the latest purchases being 160 fixtures – 40 iFORTES, 40 Tetra2s and 80 LEDBeam 350s plus four RoboSpot systems, all delivered by Robe Middle East.
These were added to their existing inventory which already included 80 Robe MegaPointes and 80 Spiider LED wash beams.
“One of the keys to making any dry hire business work is to respond to the most specified and popular products and brands, and in recent years for moving lights, this has definitely been Robe,” confirmed Fernandez, adding that service and after sales support is also “a major consideration”.
They enjoy a great working relationship with Robe Middle East which is headed by ElieBattah and his team.
The kit needs to be tough and able to withstand some extreme weather – wind, dust heat and at times heavy and unpredictable rain. “These Robe fixtures tick all our boxes!” Fernandez stated, musing that the Tetra2s have also become very popular for producing specific effects while the LEDBeam 350s are general “all-round super handy” compact fixtures ideal for multiple applications.
When business started to boom again after the pandemic, Robe was still topping the rider lists for international artists performing in the Middle East as well as for the many large local shows. “There’s also a big demand for the best quality kit from high profile Indian spectaculars in addition to the western artists and concerts, and we want to ensure that everyone has the best levels of service and easy availability,” he noted.
Fernandez believes Robe is one of the “top moving light brands in the world” right now, and that it represents great value, “That’s why people are asking for it over and over.”
His business was originally called Talentz Enterprises and founded in Oman as a music technology / instrument enterprise. It grew rapidly in response to market trends, and was soon incorporating professional lighting, audio, and projection solutions.
In 2015, the Dubai branch was opened as a dry hire facility, taking advantage of the rich and varied event and live performance culture prevalent in the UAE.
Perfect Ovation’s Dubai office currently has around 45 employees with over 40 staff in Oman. Fernandez’ wife, Mildred, runs the Oman operation, and their 3 children (Kevin, Manuel & Stella) are also involved there. His son Kevin is now in demand as a talented sound engineer continuing the passion and deep connection to music and performance cherished by his parents.
