Capital Sound Hire has added a pair of Allen & Heath consoles to its hire stock. The London-based rental company bought the mixers - a 32-channel ML3000 VCA mixer and a 40-channel GL4000 - through Ray Bradman of Bonza Sound Services in Surrey, with whom Capital has had a close relationship for around 20 years.

Within hours of delivery the ML3000 went straight out onto the road to perform monitor duties for critically acclaimed drum 'n bass outfit Kosheen, whilst the GL4000 made its debut front-of-house on tour with former Level 42 front man Mark King. Both consoles are now scheduled to go out on David Essex's Theatre of Dreams tour, starting on March 15th.

Capital Sound Hire's project manager Martin Connolly explains why he chose the A&H consoles: "What we needed were dual purpose compact mixers that could go out on smaller jobs at either end of the multi-core. I am expecting the Allen & Heaths to see a lot of touring use as opening act packages, with the ML3000 probably at front-of-house thanks to its VCA facilities."
