Allen & Heath\’s flagship dLive S Class system was selected
for a special gig by Argentinean rock band, Airbag, accompanied by an orchestra
and staged at the iconic Usina del Arte venue, a converted electrical plant, in
the capital, Buenos Aires.
Provided by rental company, Show Room Live, the dLive system
comprised the S7000 Surface and DM64 MixRack fitted with Waves SoundGrid
networking cards, and was selected by the band\’s FOH engineer, Fernando Parra.
The system was required to manage live sound reinforcement in the venue, as
well as provide redundant multitrack recording and a broadcast feed. AES inputs
on the S7000 Surface were used by Parra to connect his favourite outboard
equipment.
\”I use 64 channels from the MixRack and 8 analogue channels
from the Surface to cater for the live FOH feed and provide 80 channels of
multitrack recording at dLive\’s 96kHz sampling rate,\” comments Parra.
\”The immense capacity and flexibility of dLive made this complex and
ambitious event possible, and the huge processing power of the system meant it
went without a flaw, producing the finest sonic quality!\”
