Integrate 2026 brought together Australia’s professional AV industry for three big days of new tech in professional audio, lighting, and laser technology. For the AVE team, it was a valuable opportunity to reconnect with customers, meet new faces and showcase the latest from our family of brands.
On our stand, we proudly featured products and solutions from Outline Audio, beamZ Pro, Chauvet DJ, ChamSys, Laserworld, LaserAnimation Sollinger, tarm, Proel, AVE and more.
If something caught your eye at the show and you would like a closer look, contact your local AVE representative to arrange a demonstration or get in touch with the AVE team.
Outline Audio
The biggest Outline talking point was the Mantas 28. Its compact footprint and extremely low weight surprised visitors, particularly once they learned how much output the enclosure can deliver. Outline’s patented DPRWG technology uses physical parabolic waveguides inside the cabinet to achieve controlled line-array performance without relying on the same amount of processing and hardware found in many conventional designs.
Alongside Mantas 28, we showed the compact dual-18 DBS 18-2, the rental-focused P-Series point-source range and Outline’s sleek A-Series installation speakers. Many attendees already knew of Outline and were keen to hear it live.

beamZ Pro
The big beamZ Pro takeaway was build quality. Visitors were pleasantly surprised by how far the range has progressed, with the Nereid Series and weather-ready WBX battery-powered PAR range receiving particularly positive comments on construction and finish.
The NUKE Series stood out for its motorised, pixel-mappable IP65 format, while the compact Ignite 740 impressed with single-pixel control, strong output and motorised zoom. Together, they showed the increasingly professional feature set now available across the range.
Chauvet DJ
Chauvet DJ was one of our broadest ranges on the stand. The new Intimidator Hybrid 251SR attracted plenty of attention for its tight beam and ability to move between beam, spot and wash looks, while the EVE 160ZQ range generated interest around its flexible D-Fi USB control options.
Visitors also responded strongly to the build quality of the Freedom Series, the versatility and value of the Shocker Panel FX, and the approachable new Sentinel Series. The familiarity with Chauvet’s Intimidator range made our Chauvet range one of the easiest for attendees to recognise.
ChamSys
We excitingly had the very first ChamSys QuickQ 20+ in Australia on the stand! Existing QuickQ users were excited to see the updated console, which brings much of the capability associated with the larger QuickQ models into a compact format suited to schools, theatres and mid-sized venues.
The GeNetix TouchScene installation, which featured the GD4IP, GS5IP, GN5, GS8, TouchScene and TouchScene Mini was another strong hands-on product. Attendees liked being able to physically try the touchscreen interface and immediately understand how it could work in an installed lighting-control environment.
tarm
The tarm VANQUISH sat in the centre of the booth and became an instant conversation starter. Its 650w direct diode laser-source design produces an exceptionally tight 0.38°–45° zoom beam for long-distance impact, while still offering the flexibility to open up into a wider 45° wash.
We also showed the RISE and BLAZE, giving visitors a closer look at why laser-source moving heads are becoming more rider spec’d by lighting designers for large venues, touring and outdoor productions.
HazeBase
The Fab was the HazeBase standout. Visitors liked its rack-mount form factor and efficient fluid use, but the feature that really landed was its hot-swappable heater system — a practical advantage for production companies that need to get a machine serviced and back into operation quickly.
The sleek The Cube appealed to installation customers, while the portable battery-powered Piccola attracted users looking for a compact fog solution that can go almost anywhere.
Laserworld & LaserAnimation Sollinger
Our laser brands drew plenty of attention because we were the only stand at the show with a dedicated laser display. The award-winning LaserAnimation Sollinger UNREAL 120‘s industry-leading power-to-weight ratio became a constant conversation starter, outputting an impressive 120W while only weighing 15.5kg.
In real production environments, where transport, handling and rigging take a toll on the back, the UNREAL 120 demonstrates how professional lighting can be made easier without sacrificing on performance.
The AVE logo projected onto the rear wall by the Laserworld PL-10 with visitors asking how the graphic was being generated (the answer, to which, is Laserworld’s Showcontroller software)
Proel
The popular Proel FREEONE X was another highlight on the AVE stand. Attendees were impressed by its compact, portable design and convenient battery-powered operation, delivering up to 10 hours of continuous use without mains power.
We also showcased Proel’s trusted Esoteric and Challenger cable ranges, with a broad selection of stereo, XLR, speakON, instrument, unbalanced, AUX and MIDI cables displayed across the stand. Designed for professional use, both ranges offer reliable connectivity for a wide variety of audio applications.
AVE
We were proud to showcase AVE’s new range of wireless DMX solutions, offering an accessible way to simplify lighting control and reduce cable runs. The range included the DMX-DISPLAYWIT wireless transmitter with display screen, DMX-SPLIT6 6-Channel DMX splitter, DMX-STATIONWIT transmitter, and DMX-STATIONW wireless transmitter/receiver.
Also attracting plenty of attention were AVE’s digital mixers, like the 7-Channel STRIKE-7USB and the new Digi4 and Digi24 digital mixers. The Digi24 was a particular standout for its easy-to-use design and its motorised faders, all at an accessible price point that makes digital mixing accessible for any skill level.
