LANCASTER, PA — For a March tour stop at the American Music Venue here, country artist Gary Allan performed in support of his latest CD, Set You Free. Bauder Audio provided a NEXO GEO S12 line array for the date with support from Tom Hogle, Bauder systems engineer and Sean Gary, A2 for Gary Allan. Jason Spence specified a Yamaha PM5000 console for the entire Gary Allan tour, furnished by Sound Image of Nashville.
More details from NEXO and Yamaha (www.yamahaca.com):
The sound system included 24 NEXO GEO S12s over eight RS18 Ray Subs, all powered and processed with NXAMP4X4 amplifiers.
“Besides the fact that the GEO S12 sounds great, it is easy to set up, which makes for a quick load in,” said Hogle. “NEXO continues to manufacturer studio monitors for large venues!” remarked Chris “Sully” Sullivan after mixing front of house for the show.
Tucked behind the NEXO arrays, Jason Spence specified a Yamaha PM5000 console for the entire Gary Allan tour, provided by Sound Image of Nashville. “We had options and, in fact, listened to other consoles, notes Spence. However, after listening to the 5K, Gary and the band chose to go analog. The production requirements did not necessitate a digital mixer so we went with the PM5000.”
