British artists use Allen amp Heath iLives in Jakarta
Published: ASIA
INDONESIA: Allen & Heath iLive consoles were recently used in Jakarta for a concert starring renowned Britpop acts Ian Brown and Kula Shaker, who performed at the LAP ABC Senayan venue. The desks were employed on both front of house and monitors.
The monitor engineers for the concert, which was part of a 14 date tour of Asia, were offered the choice of an analogue ML5000 desk or an iLive system comprising an iDR-48 MixRack and iLive-T112 control surface.
According to Kula Shaker engineer and production manager Mike Taylor, the iLive was selected because he was ‘able to build a show and lay out - including all the FX and dynamics - on the plane on the way there. Once we were on site I was able to quickly ring out my wedges with the aid of the backline tech.’
Mr Taylor added: ‘The effects are amazing and the compressors are very musical. iLive has great operating software, high quality sound, and an easy to operate layout.’
