Allen & Heath Systems Manage Cornish Open Air Gig

Two Allen & Heath iLive digital mixing systems recently managed FOH and monitors for an open-air performance by the band, People's String Foundation, at the Minack open-air theatre in Cornwall.
"Positioned on a cliff top, the open-air amphitheatre was a logistical challenge, requiring a mixer that would fit with the rest of the PA in a van small enough to negotiate the narrow lanes leading to the venue but could also handle the 50 plus channel count," said FOH engineer Tommy Williams.
An iLive-T80 surface with iDR-48 MixRack was selected at Monitors, expanded with an xDR-16 to handle the microphones from the string section.
The xDR expander had an M-MADI card fitted for multi-track recording of the show on a Soundscape DAW. The other ACE link from the iDR-48 fed the FOH system, comprising an iDR-16 on stage and a T-80 on the upper terrace.
The iDR-48 was set up with eight wedge mix outputs and six stereo in-ear mixes, to cater for extra requirements and supporting acts.
In addition, two ME-1 personal mixers were used on stage by the drummer and bassist. The ME-1s received a premix by the Monitor engineer, plus a separate mix of the drums and individual vocals.
"Due to acoustics and integration of the PA with the resident delay speakers, I mixed the gig from my iPad most of the time. The ability to walk all the way up to the upper terrace, or sit down with the audience close to stage was key in setting up the delays, tuning the system and getting the mix balance right," Williams said.
