Wolfgang ‘Schabbach’ Neumann, owner/managing director of Sirius says of the Aztec: "The console sounds fantastic. It has a very clear, straightforward build and is therefore very simple to use. The EQ in particular is amazing and it has a warm and pleasant sound. It is immediately obvious that Aztec has been developed by a designer who understands his craft, and knows exactly how it will be used."
The desk was provided by local distributor Mega Audio GmbH, which is an Expotus appointed distributor. The Aztec Live Performance console is Audient's first Live Console and can be used both the road or in a fixed installation. Features of the desk include separate L, C, and R buses with individual trims on each of the output faders, eight audio sub group outputs with balanced inserts, two additional stereo line inputs and a stereo ambience mic input, 4-band EQ with parametric mids, sweep HF and LF with switched bell/shelf curves plus sweep hi-pass filter and optional full stereo input modules.
Audient plc was formed in 1997 by David Dearden and Gareth Davies. Between them, Dearden and Davies have over 50 years’ experience in the professional audio industry and before forming Audient were the founding partners of DDA. Sales and marketing of Audient products throughout the world is undertaken by Expotus plc.
