More details from Allen & Heath (www.allen-heath.com):
Biom had previously used used Allen & Heath’s iLive system to mix Agutin’s shows, but he opted to take the new dLive system on the latest venture, which is visiting 25 cities and towns across Russia throughout February, March and April 2016. The setup includes a S7000 Control Surface with DM64 MixRack at FOH, with an iLive-T80 Control Surface and iDR-32 MixRack as the monitor system.
“After more than 20 gigs with dLive, I can say that this system has an amazing sound and limitless functionality,” Biom said. “I believe that in every respect, from sound to appearance, it is equal to the best modern touring digital mixing systems but unlike most of them, dLive is also reasonably priced.
“The new system has inherited all the best attributes from iLive and acquired many new exciting features,” Biom added. “I especially like dLive’s new preamps and compressors, and I noticed that its FX are bright and distinct.
“I’m glad that, as always, Allen & Heath’s developers don’t impose on the user their vision of how mixing process should be arranged,” Biom concluded. “dLive is intuitive and clear, and allows everyone to arrange their work to meet their own needs.”
