J&S AUDIO MAKE AN IMPACT WITH MULTIPLE MIDAS CONSOLES
Dallas-based J&S Audio recently drafted no less than five Midas consoles for an awards ceremony evening hosted by the Impact Creative Group (also of Dallas). A Heritage 4000, Heritage 3000, and a Verona 480 were used for FOH mixes, an additional Verona 480 was and a Siena with 10-channel Klark Teknik Helix system was used for monitors, ensuring a seamless production for the various live events, presentations and speeches. Classic rockers Styx headlined the show.
“Including load-in, rehearsals and shows, we were on site for two weeks,” reported Bill Hosch, J&S Audio Visual Show Services Projects Coordinator. “The event had 1950 seated guests in a 375x120-feet ballroom at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. We ended up using 120 total inputs for the systems, running three audio snakes, for ten zones of audio on two dance floors. We ran sound for three stages, four green rooms and four ISO record feeds. This was quite the corporate gig!”
“It was great to have that much audio going on and it be so clean,” added J&S System and Production Engineer Paul Kalenak. “We patched console to console with no hums, no buzzes and more headroom than one could possibly need. The Midas consoles kept everything musical, clean and powerful.”
