recently sold the Hi Fi Melbourne an Outline Butterfly PA system and so we replicated that in Brisbane which has a similar design room.”
The room may have been similar in layout but Bruce encountered problems with the air conditioning system which made it difficult for him to install a line array PA.
Twelve Outline Butterfly line array speaker boxes and six Outline Subtech 218 subs were installed and according to Bruce, they sound very good!
”The venue holds about 1200 people and so six speakers per side is enough,” said Bruce. “We’ve put a Digidesign Profile Mixrack console out front for mixing because, at the moment, it appears to be the most popular console in hiring and sub-hiring.”
Whilst the Digidesign console houses most effects a Klark Teknik DN360 system EQ, a Yamaha SPX 990,
a SDE 330 Space Delay and two DBX 160a system comps are provided.
Lab Gruppen 6400 amplifiers drive the system.There’s a Midas Sienna console for monitors and a TC Electronics Motor Fade System EQ. Eight Wayloud
Active monitor wedges, a JBL R3 drum fill and two EAW 650 side fills are onstage, all driven by Quest MA3000 amplifiers. Microphones are all by Shure.
A basic lighting system was installed consisting of six Robe 250 moving heads, thirty-two par cans, two LSCe-pro digital dimmers and a Jands Hog 1000 for control.
”We’ve had some great reports from people saying how good it sounds,” commented Bruce. |
