The ability to control functions of a mixing console remotely has been a real boon to live audio system techs and mix engineers. Another benefit is that many of these remotes allow musicians to access their own monitor mix – freeing up our time, letting them tailor as they wish – and without messing anything else up. Digital consoles can also be easily upgraded with new and/or improved versions of software/firmware. These help foster and enhance iOS device interface and…

In an earlier time, rural telephone systems effectively connected everyone along the road into a single communications link, dubbed a “party-line.” By the late 1960s, both Clear-Com and RTS independently adopted the same basic concept with the development of the party-line intercom. Individual beltpack-style intercom stations interconnected with microphone cables allowed the production’s technical staff to call cues and otherwise collaborate in a full-duplex manner throughout the venue – all on one channel. As the need arose, main stations that…
