Adlib and Professor Green's paths have crossed numerous times since the MOBO, MTV Europe & NME award-winner exploded onto the scene in summer 2010 with his debut album Alive Till I'm Dead.
Production manager Trigger asked Adlib on board, with front-of-house engineer Pat Tunbridge requesting an L-Acoustics V-Dosc rig with a Midas Pro6 as his mixing desk of choice, following a great experience with it in Australia and Monitor engineer Ben Kingman chose to mix using a trusty Yamaha PM5D.
The tour started with rehearsals in London, then moved onto Dublin and Glasgow building up to a spectacular finale at Brixton Academy - enthusiastically appreciated by Professor Green's exuberant fan-base.
Adlib's team was led by systems engineers James Neale and Michael Flaherty, looking after FOH and monitors respectively.
Adlib also supplied eight channels of Sennheiser G3 wireless IEMs for the band and the guest vocalists, plus three Adlib MP3 wedges, driven by PLM 10,000Qs. With the Dolby Lake processing on-board, these can easily be tweaked using a remote tablet.
The side-fills were two ARCs cabinets and two SB28s a-side and the drummer had a thumper seat plus a pair of hard-wired Shure P4 IEMs.
The backing vocalists used Sennheiser G3 Series radio mics - a 945 and a 935 and Professor Green himself a Shure UHFR mic with a Heil capsule.
The DJ had a pair of Adlib MP4 subs and 2 x MP3 wedges at his disposal, again run off PLM 10,000Qs.
Adlib account manager Phil Kielty states, "Watching Professor Green, the band and the crew develop as a live performance over the last two years has been an absolute thrill for us. I've seen them many times at festivals, and for ADLIB to be involved on this tour was a real privilege."
