A prompt desk rebuilt around the DSM

Following intensive stages of research and design, our in-house designers and engineers set out to understand how the industry approached this complicated piece of equipment, and what could be done to improve its usability.

We worked with the Stage Management Association and listened to stage managers across the UK, developing Concept 2 through continuous feedback and consultation. The result is a complete rework of the prompt desk, designed to improve the working environment for DSMs worldwide.

Typical applications: Theatres and auditoriums, touring shows, concert halls, educational spaces, professional venues.

Ergonomics

Comfortable through the longest show

  • Height adjustable, width scalable

    Conforming to DSE regulations, Concept 2 adjusts in height and scales in width, reducing the risk of muscle strain and over-stretching. It mirrors the seating position of a modern office workstation.

  • A gentler operating angle

    Control buttons sit at a reduced operating angle, so wrists stay in a natural position through a long show.

  • Monitors at eye level

    Monitors sit at a natural viewing height with a clear line of sight to the stage, avoiding neck and shoulder tension and constant head turning between screen and live action.
