Rotterdam-based Bang Bang Systems has greatly reduced its footprint at front-of-house with the recent purchase of a Soundcraft Ui16 digital mixing system, allowing owner José da Silva to streamline his operations.

Bang Bang SystemsServing Dutch mid-sized shows, as well as two festival halls that feature Caribbean bands, a typical festival for Bang Bang generally attracts between 500 to 800 people. Having used many mixing consoles before, da Silva wanted a compact solution that would be space-effective without sacrificing sound quality or mixing features. Though it is his first Soundcraft, the small Ui16 system has already made its impact on the way he works.

The Ui16 digital mixer is a remote-controlled mixing system in a compact, road-rugged stagebox format, with built-in Wi-Fi, 31-band graphic EQ, noise gate and compressor on all outputs. It also features three dedicated Lexicon FX buses for reverb, delay and chorus. It boasts eight XLR mic/line inputs, four XLR mic inputs, two Hi-Z/instrument inputs and a stereo RCA line input.

‘I prefer to achieve more with less,’ da Silva says. ‘I don’t like working with large mixing consoles, because I believe that all the equipment for a small to mid-size event should fit inside a small van. Being able to cut down on a lot of outboard gear is why I purchased the Soundcraft Ui16 system.’

‘I can bring this little system to every show and still deliver an amazing quality of sound. Before each show, I now have more time to set up the sound in the way that I want, and afterwards I can take the show home on a USB stick. The system is just so convenient and fast. Together with my JBL loudspeakers and Crown amplifiers, I can now make sure that all my events are run to perfection.’
