What a tour!
MRSE supplied the FOH Audio PA & Control package for The Blue UK & Europe tour earlier this year.
With 30+ dates in a variety of venues we deployed a touring package consisting of 24-boxes of our d&b audiotechnik V-Series line array system with Y7P fills and V-Subs to provide a solid low-end. All powered by D40 amps driven over Dante via fiber from an Outline Newton system processor.
FOH Engineer Michael Riley mixed on a Yamaha DM7C-Ex console at FOH accompanied by a pair of Fourier Audio Transform Engines.

Special thanks to MRSE system tech Tom Yarnall.

Great to be back system teching in Cardiff Castle for another season of DEPOT LIVE shows. A fully array-processed system of d&b audiotechnik J-Series for the mains, V-Series on the out-hangs and SL-Subs providing the low end energy. An Outline Professional Audio Newton on system control and matrix duty alongside a custom MRSE Q-Sys setup for utility processing.

Throwback to another fantastic season of Panto at The Wolverhampton Grand theatre.
In partnership with ArranAzz Sound Equipment Hire, we delivered a full sound reinforcement package tailored specifically to the production.

d&b audiotechnik V-Series point-source systems were deployed on each level to deliver the required impact, supported by E8 & E6 cabinets for consistent coverage throughout the auditorium. Low-end was looked after by d&b V-SUBs and a central hang of 8x d&b T10 line-array boxes provided exceptional vocal clarity. Stage foldback was taken care of by 4-rows of Y7P/E8’s.

The cast were equipped with DPA Microphones 4466 headsets across 22 channels of our Sennheiser EW-DX radio mic stock. The finale megamix also utilised 3x Shure AD2 Axient Digital handhelds providing a high-energy ‘rock-n’-roll’ vibe. All connected directly into the redundant Dante network.

Accompanying the in-house Yamaha Commercial Audio Europe DM7 console we supplied a Fourier Transform Engine running outboard processing including Soothe Live and a selection of plugins from Waves Audio.

Playback was looked after by a redundant pair of high-spec QLab Mac Minis, triggering over 1500 cues per-show with flawless accuracy. Show control was via a selection of Orbital Sound Nemesis Research OSC go buttons.

Our Netgear AV-Line based fibre network provided redundant 10Gb links between key locations, enabling our low-latency BluStream IP video system to distribute CCTV feeds across the venue seamlessly.
