The sound for the new On Stage live radio show broadcast by leading Dutch radio station, NPO 3FM, is to be handled by an Allen & Heath dLive S Class mixing console and ME personal mixing systems

‘As a fanatical iLive user, I was pleased to get the opportunity to purchase the dLive and ME systems,’ says Elwin Dorlas, who manages the show. ‘The learning curve was only about one hour and, as I need to do a lot of mixing in a short period of time, dLive’s low latency and intuitive layout are key.

The show includes performances from live bands and incorporates visual clips for the internet, using dLive for the live radio, floor sound and several feeds for live internet streaming. Comprising a S5000 and DM64 with DX32 expander rack, the system is fitted with Madi and Waves network cards, with an IP8 remote controller and six ME-1 mini-mixers for the bands’ monitoring. dLive is configured to provide three different mixes going to the DJ desk, and dlive communicates with the DHD radio mixer via Dante.

‘I love the new FX, compressors and preamp modelling, and the I/O patching is spot on,’ Dorlas reports. ‘The integration of the ME monitor system completes it for me, and the musicians love the level of control it offers them.’
