Allen & Heath Showcases Fly Pack Systems at Prolight + Sound 2019Allen & Heath will be highlighting some of its ultra-compact dLive touring systems at Prolight + Sound, Hall 8.0, Booth #G50. Central to the dLive Wings concept is the compact C1500 surface, which allows engineers to manage upscale shows from a 19" console, using its 12" touchscreen, 19 assignable SoftKeys and 12 faders over six layers. Paired with any of the dLive MixRacks, the C1500 is a top choice for fly-dates, bus tours, support slots, and other scenarios where space and weight are at a premium. For scenarios where users are seeking an even more compact solution, the company will also be showing off an elegant, surfaceless dLive system, with a pair of touchscreens running dLive Director software controlling the MixRack and a headphones / PFL feed over Dante. These surfaceless systems are often paired with Allen & Heath's IP8 and IP6 controllers, and/or the MixPad App for even more control options. "Going from a 36 fader surface to a 12 fader C1500 or a touchscreen can seem daunting at first," comments Ben Morgan, dLive product manager at Allen & Heath. "But with a bit of planning and smart use of SoftKeys, it's amazing how quickly engineers embrace the Wings concept and the freedom it brings. I hope we can encourage more people to explore the potential of ultra-compact touring at Prolight + Sound." "From the moment we first introduce dLive Wings to any engineer, they just 'get it'," says Léon Phillips, Live Sound and Touring with Allen & Heath. "Here's a flexible, compact rig, with the same power as all our dLive systems, but easily checked at baggage and flown on a standard commercial flight. There's nothing else quite like it." Allen & Heath will also be showing its Qu and ZED ranges, plus visitors will be able to get hands-on with its "mixers of the moment," the SQ series, complete with optional DEEP processing plugins.
