Key Takeaways

1. Allen & Heath Avantis Console: A powerful console with 64 inputs and 42 buses, offering both local I/O and expansion card options for network integration (Dante and Waves SoundGrid). Its dual-screen design allows for efficient workflow.
2. Waves SuperRack Integration: Provides additional plugin processing capabilities, enhancing vocal tuning and overall mix quality. The setup allows for virtual sound checks and creating show files.
3. In-Ear Monitoring (IEM): Utilizes Allen & Heath's ME-1 personal mixers, offering musicians customizable control over their individual mixes, including group features for finer adjustments. The Shure PSM 300 IEM system provides a high-quality stereo mix.
4. RF Management and Antenna: Employs RF Venue's architectural antenna for improved wireless frequency management, ensuring clear audio for both microphones and IEMs.
5. High-Quality Drum Miking: Features DPA microphones for capturing a superior acoustic drum sound. The microphone selection and placement are crucial for reducing bleed and achieving a balanced sound.
