Aztec, the ground-breaking live performance console recently released by pro audio specialist Audient. Just months after its official UK launch, a 48-channel version of the console was put through its paces at an Idlewild concert at the Colchester Arts Centre. Rental company Audio Plus supplied the desk for the one-off gig, which saw the band playing to 400 people. Engineers for the evening were Chris Secker and Richie Dempsey. Front-of-house engineer Richie Dempsey said: "The desk was really easy to use with good gain structure and great EQ. It was easy to find your way around, which is important. All in all I liked it!" 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; 8 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 pro audio industry and before forming Audient were the founding partners of DDA - a company whose mixing console designs set new price/performance standards during the '80s and '90s in both the recording and live sound fields. Sales and marketing of Audient products throughout the world is undertaken by Expotus plc.

Audient can be found on stand T38.
