Just about any available acoustical shell will improve acoustics

on stage and bring a sense of style to its surroundings. But if

you look closely at the engineering behind the shell, you’ll see

what enormous advantages you can gain when you choose Diva.

Diva composite-panel construction provides superior acoustical

performance and Diva’s ability to produce custom aesthetics at

a lower cost is a Wenger exclusive. We also think you’ll see

that Diva is engineered and built to a higher standard. The

all-aluminum frame provides exclusive advantages, including

longer-lasting rigidity and easy operation. Diva also gives you

the unique advantages of the Air Transporter, which allows

one person to move Diva towers on a cushion of air. Set-up

time and crew size are slashed, and there’s less wear and tear

on the shell itself – and on your stage floor. Read on and

you’ll see that the benefits go on and on, like Diva itself.

The first goal of the acoustical shell is to improve the acoustical environment on stage • Diva is the beneficiary

of decades of pioneering work by Wenger, and we believe Diva’s acoustical qualities are the finest available

• Diva’s integrated ceiling panels prevent sound from escaping into the stage fly loft • Diva also projects sound

into the audience and, compared to using no shell, Divahas the acoustical impact of almost doubling the size

of the group • You can add Wenger ceiling clouds and acoustical panels to the auditorium to give your audience

the ultimate level of acoustic excellence • Please ask your Wenger representative for more information.1

Engineering excellence is a Wenger hallmark, and Diva may

be our finest example. The ingenious design, built with the

highest-quality materials and hardware, operates in a unique

manner that is one of Diva’s greatest attributes. You’ll need

fewer people and less time to set and strike the shell because

Diva is so easy to operate and so stable and secure. That’s

also why you’ll be likely to use and reconfigure it more often.

You also won’t have to worry about repairing or replacing it

soon, because Diva is designed and built to last.

EXCLUSIVE AIR TRANSPORTER REDEFINES ‘CONVENIENCE’ . This revolutionary feature moves Diva towers on a cushion of air for easyone-person operation that also protects your stage floor. It’s simple touse: Just push a button and the Air Transporter does the work for you.

Every auditorium and theater is different, physically and

aesthetically, as is every budget. Accommodating these

variables is what Diva does better than any other shell. We’ll

help you modify your Diva system to fit your space, your

aesthetics, and your budget. You can also be assured that

every Diva shell is built to the same superior standards, and

each operates with a special brand of Wenger ease that

adds a great deal of extra value to your purchase. You’ll use

it more often and in ways you’d never use a typical shell.

And Diva will maintain its structural integrity and magnificent

looks years after other shells show the effects of time.
