Breton events company Musical’Ré has invested in Allen & Heath’s new dLive digital mixing system.

‘Its specs are impressive and I was really blown away during a demonstration at the JTSE tradeshow,’ says Musical’Ré owner, Bruno Damiani. ‘I have a lot of experience of Allen & Heath digital mixers, and this system is magnificent. Previously, when I wanted to make the transition from analogue to digital, I immediately turned to Allen & Heath and purchased GLD and iLive systems. Today, it’s logical to continue this adventure by buying a dLive system. I really wanted to own the “new baby” and take advantage of new technology.’

The French company selected the S7000 control surface with DM48 MixRack, and used the system for the first time as the main stage FOH console at the Les Nuits Soniques and Les Hivernales Tinéniac festivals.

‘Adapting to the new system was almost instantaneous,’ Damiani says. ‘I appreciate the screen brightness. It’s a very intuitive console, which is a big advantage when you have to work with different FOH engineers each week. I don’t have to spend my time explaining all the functions – it has changed my life.’
