DALLAS, TX – For the sixth year, Aviom's Personal Mixers have helped performers at the International Drummers for Jesus Celebration create their own customized mix. That helps streamline changeovers at the fast-paced event.
"Because of the Aviom equipment, we don't have to spend a lot of time having a monitor engineer dial in individual monitor mixes for the performers on stage for each performance, as the system allows them to create their own mix without the monitor engineer being involved," said Carlos Benson, director and founder of Drummers for Jesus and executive producer of the International Drummers for Jesus Celebration.
Drummers for Jesus formed in 2002, and the first International Drummers for Jesus Celebration, a two-day event that combines a concert, workshops, master classes and exhibits, took place in 2004.
Since the event is supported by donations from manufacturers in the audio industry, the gear used for the event can also change from year to year as well. Outputs from this year's monitor console, an Allen & Heath, were sent into one AN-16/i Input Module located at the monitoring position and the signal was sent via Cat-5 to an A-16D Pro A-Net Distributor located on stage. From there the signals were fed to 10 A-16II Personal Mixers connected to Audio-Technica in-ear systems.
"Aviom has been with us from the beginning, with 200 percent support," Benson said. "For a great company like Aviom to bring their equipment and send support staff to each of our events is priceless. We are truly grateful to all of the Aviom team."
