The reopened Islington Assembly Hall in London has selected an Allen & Heath iLive digital mixing system, comprising iDR-48 and iDR-32 MixRacks with two iLive-T112 Control Surfaces, to manage both front of house and monitors. Originally opened in 1930, the fully refurbished 800-capacity Hall was reopened in 2010 having fallen into disuse for nearly 30 years. The venue now hosts a busy rota of live music, as well as a vast range of events from conferences and parties to vintage…

This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Here are some thoughts on doing virtual sound check if you don’t have a DiGiCo or Avid digital console at your disposal. Disclaimer: This is not going to be exhaustive. There are hundreds of hardware/software combinations that will get you the same result. These are some ideas only. Also, it should be noted that “cheap” is a relative term. All of these solutions are going to cost money, real money. However, if you…

This article is provided by Gowing Associates. I’m in the process of helping one of my churches transition from an analog mixer to a digital mixer. They were in need of more channels than their Allen & Heath 16-channel MixWiz with some outboard gear (front of house EQ, couple of compressors, effects unit) could provide. Based on the maximum number of channels that they anticipated needing over the next five years, I recommended the PreSonus StudioLive 24.4, one of…

The new BYU-Idaho Center at Brigham Young University-Idaho, is a sprawling 435,000-square-foot building that includes a 15,000-seat auditorium outfitted with two DiGiCo two SD7 digital mixing systems as well as six DiGiRacks.

This article is provided by How-To ASSIST Technical Training. We’ve all been in a fix from time to time when we needed to sum two audio signals into one. Much of the time, we need to convert a stereo signal into mono. The other situation is typically when you need to add the outputs of two mixing boards together, summing the left, right, effects and monitor outputs into common lines so that two boards act as one large mixer.…

Eight combination XLR and 1/4-inch inputs (six on the PVi 6500) based on proprietary high-quality, low-noise Silencer mic preamps provide versatility and clear audio reproduction, while proprietary Mid-Morph EQ control improves the tone and clarity of vocals and complements the low…
