Reliable audio delay tower solutions for outdoor concerts, festivals and large-scale events.
ShineStage Delay Towers are designed to safely support line array loudspeakers and PA systems in mid-field and far-field positions, extending sound coverage while keeping sightlines clean and the structure stable.
A Delay Tower is a freestanding rigging tower used to hang line array loudspeakers or PA systems further back in the audience area. By adding time-aligned speaker positions, it improves intelligibility and SPL coverage for audiences that are far away from the main stage.
ShineStage combines years of truss manufacturing experience with project-proven tower designs to offer a robust delay tower system for touring, rental and fixed outdoor applications.
