SSE Audio Group has announced the acquisition of ETA Sound. The company, based in Mold, Wales, has moved its operations to SSE's Redditch headquarters. ETA owner Eddie Thomas adds another dimension to SSE's growing pro-audio operations, as SSE MD John Penn explained: "We have been talking to Eddie for a while about bringing his expertise to SSE and incorporating his complementary activities into the Group. His particular area of operation is the design and installation of large format audio and emergency evacuation installations in stadia, shopping malls and large spaces."

The Wildsun 500 Ayrton began his international career on the world tour"Wrecking Ball" Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band's. He then traveled the world in the Jeff Ravitz’s lighting kit, the Lighting Designer of Springsteen. Ayrton is proud to announce that more than 65 WILDSUN 500C automated LED luminaires are being used on Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band's "Wrecking Ball" world tour. Award winning Lighting Designer Jeff Ravitz of Intensity Advisors in Los Angeles and Morpheus Lights, the Las Vegas based lighting production company, selected the Wildsun 500C from Ayrton after extensive testing and comparisons to other automated LED fixtures. "It's a strikingly different look for our show - the warm white baseline, vivid colors, smooth movement, and remarkable intensity of the Wildsun 500C are truly unique" says Ravitz.

 The Wrecking Ball tour began in Atlanta, Georgia in mid-March and continues in European cities from mid-May through July 2012. It then returns to the US for additional Stadium shows in August and September.

The new company, SGM A/S, which replaces the former SGM Technology for Lighting spa, will be headquartered in Aabyhøj, near Aarhus, and will concentrate exclusively on developing LED solutions, while continuing to support SGM’s current catalogue of discharge lighting.
