Staged at Naples’ Teatro Delle Palme theatre, the recent Noi Per Napoli featured waltzes, classic folks songs and operetta performed by members of Naples’ San Carlo Opera House. The full concert sound was managed by an Allen & Heath Qu-SB ultra compact digital rackmount mixer.
Audio requirements were handled by PA company Megaride, who were responsible for the chorus of 40 people, a piano, harp, two violins and a cello, as well as principal singers, two tenors, a baritone and a soprano. The faderless Qu-SB with additional AB168 IO rack provided FOH and monitor mixes, which were set up and controlled via the Qu-Pad app.
‘Qu-SB is a fantastically flexible, fast mixer,’ sound engineer Luigi Esposito reports. ‘Simply plug in your inputs on stage, and then enjoy the freedom to set up your channels and change your settings from anywhere in the venue using the Qu-Pad app. The app controls everything, and runs without any problems or interference.
‘With AB168, you have 32 input channels available for all patching and routing. The ability to configure a custom fader strip provides the possibility to assign channels in DCA and Groups and work with only one screen for the entire performance.’
