Brazil’s famous carnival celebrations saw Allen & Heath’s systems in action on both the international artists’ live performances and worldwide broadcast feeds.

Among the event’s stars were Claudia Leite, Jota Quest, Pericles and Michel Telo, whose performaces were mixed on A&H iLive-112 digital consoles. Mixes were also routed to four GLD-80s for broadcasting. ‘With more than two million people in attendance and simultaneous live feeds to more than a dozen international broadcast and online networks, reliability was of the utmost importance – and as expected Allen & Heath delivered,’ says Teleponto President, Antonio Pereira Neto.

In addition to supplying the consoles and designing the systems, Allen & Heath distributor Teleponto managed the live performances and global transmission of the carnival. Six teams and a total of 70 staff were required to ensure the successful operation of six straight days of transmission and 72 hours of live broadcast.
