Bavaria’s Modeon Cultural Centre has installed an Allen & Heath GLD digital mixing system to manage audio requirements across several rooms hosting a varied programme of events.
The centre has several performing spaces and runs a variety of different events, including theatre productions, panel discussions and conferences. Along with a GLD-80 mixer with AR2412 remote I/O rack, the centre also installed a patchbay to assign the Expander port on the AR2412 or the console to the required room, and to manage simultaneous events routed and controlled via the mixer, or an iPad with the GLD Remote app to alter the levels in the specific room. The system also provides playback and recording capability via a Dante network card, offering up to four stereo playbacks and up to 64 recording channels.
‘For Modeon, the perfect choice was GLD,’ says Jürgen Dietrich, Modeon Technical Department head. ‘The audio demands range from a single microphone and playback, to up to 20 mics changing in every scene, and sometimes there can be two or more events running at the same time in different rooms, requiring control in every room. GLD is a very flexible system, providing multi-room management, recording capability, impressive sound quality, and, in the latest firmware update, a raft of new features including auto mic mixing (AMM) functionality, which is a huge benefit in theatre productions.’
