Allen & Heath and Audix have jointly released a new collection of ProFactory microphone presets for the A&H Qu, SQ and Avantis series of digital mixers.
Building on the popularity of Audix’s original ProFactory presets for Qu in 2018, the new collection spans a wider range of microphones and applications as well as marking the first time ProFactory presets have been available for SQ and Avantis mixers.
The 30 presets cover 18 microphones, from the Oregon-based manufacturer, including the D2, D4, D6, i5 and OM range of vocal microphones, and provide optimised EQ starting points for engineers of all abilities in live and recording/streaming applications.
‘Audix microphones and Allen & Heath digital mixers have proven to be a very popular combination, even before we released the original Qu presets three years ago,’ says A&H Qu/SQ Product Manager, Keith Johnson. ‘With both Audix and Allen & Heath expanding their product ranges since then, it seems like the perfect time to revisit our collaboration and bring the benefits to more users than ever before.’
‘In high-stress environments like festivals or corporate events, having these presets will save an engineer valuable time by simply having predetermined starting points for typical adjustments like filters and EQ,’ adds Audix Director of US Sales, Steve Young. ‘For professional engineers, these settings will likely be close to what you dial in for every show, but for beginners, they will eliminate a ton of guesswork.’
