The Shop Productions Brings Robotic Precision to Ibiza's Ray of Light Awards

A PK Sound T8 robotic line source system deployed by The Shop Productions delivered precise, adaptable audio for the 2026 Ray of Light Awards, staged against the historic backdrop of Dalt Vila in Ibiza.

Awards galas are among the most dynamic corporate productions in live events: spoken-word presentations, video packages, and live performances follow each other in rapid succession, each with distinct coverage and fidelity demands – and all staged in venues chosen for their beauty rather than their acoustics.

“Rather than compromising between coverage and control, we were able to adapt instantly – delivering precise, consistent audio exactly where it was needed,” commented Simeon Friend, Founder of The Shop Productions.

PK's patented Multi-Axis Robotics enable exactly that flexibility: remote, real-time mechanical control of each module's vertical and horizontal dispersion, allowing the system's coverage to be reshaped between segments – or even mid-show – without touching a rigging point.

For corporate and special-event producers, the operational benefits compound the acoustic ones: faster deployments, fewer technicians, minimal visual footprint, and speech intelligibility that holds up in even the most reflective historic architecture.

The T8 system's compact format has made it a favourite for premium corporate applications worldwide, bringing the same robotic technology that anchors major festivals to boardrooms, ballrooms, and – in this case – a UNESCO World Heritage fortress.
