An Allen & Heath dLive digital mixing system was called in for monitor and live recording duties at the recent anniversary concert of Ecuador star, Paulina Tamayo.
Held at the Ruminahui Colluseum in Quit, the concert celebrated the singer’s 45-year career, and was attended by 14,000 people. Ronny Lopez from rental company, Maxi Audio, selected the dLive system to manage monitors and the multitrack recording feed for a live DVD production. The system comprised an S7000 Surface with a DM64 MixRack fitted with a Dante network card.
The technical specifications for the console included 52 input channels, 26 outputs for wedges and in-ears, and the possibility to record everything on multitrack. ‘I started looking at the options and dLive won hands down,’ explains the show’s monitor and recording engineer, Ronny Lopez.
‘This was the first time I have used dLive, and I was very impressed,’ he reports. ‘For me, the stand out features are the 96kHz processing and 26 softkeys, which provide immediate hands-on control. dLive is simple to configure for live or multitrack recording and is very easy to use – it’s incredibly intuitive for live sound. From the first note, you feel confident and you have everything within sight.’
