Allen & Heath Deliver For Royal College Of Surgeons

A number of digital mixing solutions from Allen & Heath have been installed for the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.

One of the oldest surgical organisations in the world, the college is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence and advancement in surgical practice through its interest in education and training.

The recent installation involved dLive S Class and GLD digital mixing systems from Allen & Heath. In the Main Hall venue, the dLive system allowed a compact Allen & Heath DM48 MixRack set-up controlled via iPad – with the company's Director app – for smaller events and meetings, while a dLive S3000 mixing surface can be employed for more involved productions.

The Symposium Hall, which is a 158-seat tiered lecture theatre in a converted church building, now features a GLD-112 digital mixer with remote IO AR2412 and AB168 AudioRacks.

Ben Taylor, Senior AV Technician, Royal College of Surgeons, said: "A good number of the events we run – dinners, exhibitions, music events, conferences and recently our 'Slainte' Scottish nights aimed at the foreign tour market – don't require a dedicated technician. And with such a compact campus, space is very much at a premium so we wanted a largely invisible-but-powerful solution. Adjusting settings via an iPad or PC without having to set up a separate console is our daily bread and butter, while having the ability to easily enable a much larger and complex setup with real faders and knobs in front of us is equally important. The dLive and MixRack set-up is ideal for coping with both types of situation."
