JAPAN: At AVC SQUARE’s state-of-the-art new 13,000m² facility in Tokyo, the rigging infrastructure takes centre stage—thanks to the deployment of advanced VOYAGER hoist systems from PROTOS. The expansive complex, featuring the newly unveiled high-spec AVC SQUARE LAB with a soaring 10-metre ceiling, has been purpose-built to accommodate full-scale production rehearsals, technical innovation, and creative experimentation on a professional level.

As part of the rigging solution, 28 units of the VOYAGER Model L 1T D8 direct control hoists – renowned for their reliability, safety, and heavy-duty handling – were installed and seamlessly paired with a 32-channel handheld pre-select controller to provide maximum flexibility, control, and safety. With the ability to rig and reconfigure complex setups swiftly and reliably, the VOYAGER system ensures that AVC SQUARE is primed for any production scenario — all while meeting the highest global standards.

With rigging design and implementation overseen by SIXTY82 Doughty Japan – a trusted partner for precision-engineered rigging and safety solutions in the region – the installation showcases a new benchmark in rigging excellence—supporting AVC SQUARE’s ambition to be a game-changing hub for technical production in Asia’s live entertainment and broadcast sectors.
