The new equipment is out on the current Dean Lewis tour
UK - Southwest London’s Stylus Productions has recently purchased a complete Allen & Heath dLive FOH and monitors package from Autograph Sales & Installations.
Comprising two dLive S5000 control surfaces plus DM48 and DM0 I/O racks, the new equipment is to be deployed with Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis, who sets out on tour this April, starting in the UK and continuing throughout the year across Europe.
Sam Thomas and Oliver Weeks, co-directors of Stylus Productions, comment: “We were becoming more aware of the increasing popularity of the dLive series consoles within the touring market, having seen them crop up on artist riders more regularly as well as hearing anecdotal feedback from engineers. So, when a new client, namely Dean Lewis, came to us spec'ing Allen & Heath we were happy to use that as the springboard into our first investment in dLive consoles.
“We’ve elected to go for a core system of S5000 control surfaces with a DM48 MixRack because we feel, as did the project’s engineers, that it affords a great balance of size and functionality. The addition of the DM0 not only provides redundancy, but good levels of independent control for both FOH and MON engineers to do their thing.”
Thomas and Weeks add: “As with all consoles in our inventory we like to ensure that they can meet the requirements of our clients no matter what the circumstances, which is why from the get-go we decided to expand the system with optical fibre capabilities and Waves networking options. The OpticalCON protocol fibreACE cards will enable this and other projects to take their system right up into arenas and onto large festival stages without concerns over multicore lengths or signal quality issues.”
Thomas concludes: “The Dean Lewis project is at a level where it requires the right solution for both the scale of project and the size it’s rapidly becoming with his rising stardom. We feel that we’ve been able to hit the nail on the head with the ideal solution for the show right now, whilst retaining the headroom for further growth and expansion over the coming months, and without having to change boards.”
