US full-service production company and systems integrator Clearwing has recently added an Allen & Heath dLive S5000 digital mixer to its production rental inventory along with eight ME-1 Personal Mixers, an ME-U Monitor Hub, a Qu-Pac and an AR2412.
With offices in Phoenix, Arizona and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Clearwing’s Production Division provides pro audio, lighting, staging and rigging, backline and video equipment rentals for clients ranging from concerts and music festivals to corporate events. Its new dLive is equipped with a DM64 MixRack and a DX32 Expander with Dante card.
‘Our systems integration division regularly installs the dLive and other Allen & Heath mixers for their clients,’ says Clearwing’s Nick Dressler. ‘Now, tour designers have taken to this desk.
‘The dLive was something we needed in our rental inventory – it’s a rock-solid mixer with simple drag-n-drop set-up, and extensive DSP and things our rental customers demand like redundant networking capabilities and hot-swappable power supplies.”
Dressler reports that the dLive is currently on tour with touring production company Delicate Productions, and that he plans to use the mixer on several further high-profile tours this year.
