Russian PA company, Stage Art Sound has added an Allen & Heath dLive C Class digital mixing system to a hire stock that already includes the Qu-24, Qu-16 and Qu-Pac from Allen & Heath’s line of compact digital mixing systems.

Based in Saratov in the Volga region, the company’s new dLive C Class system comprises a С2500 Surface and CDM48 MixRack. ‘Engineers will definitely appreciate C Class’s rich functionality and compact format,’ says Stage Art Sound head, Pavel Barsukov. ‘I was impressed by its capability, including the Touchscreen, preamp emulations, and multiband compressors. In fact, there are so many new and interesting features I could carry on this list forever.’

Stage Art Sound used the dLive system for the first time at the opening of Nashe Radio station’s Saratov office, where dLive was employed as the FOH system, with 22 channels and nine buses of the system used to manage monitor sound.

‘Folk band Mgzavrebi from Georgia was invited to perform at the event,’ Barsukov says. ‘They have a very authentic sound and it was very important to preserve and highlight the nuances of the music. dLive’s FX library was more than up to the job.’
