UTRECHT, The Netherlands — Ampco-Flashlight, based here, has updated its rental stock with 24 ME-1 personal monitor mixers and two ME-U hubs with a MADI option card along with four Qu-16 rackmount digital mixers, all from Allen & Heath. Pictured here are Ampco’s racked Qu-16s and ME-1s, in use at the most recent Top 2000 event.
More details from Allen & Heath (www.allen-heath.com):
ME was selected following an evaluation process comparing it with several different monitor systems. For its debut event, Ampco- Flashlight put ME to use at the TOP 2000 Live Production event in Rotterdam. 20 ME-1 personal monitor mixers were fed with a 40 channel MADI stream to the ME-U distribution unit.
“After only two minutes of playing, all the musicians were making their own mixes!” comments Ampco – Flashlight’s Jos van der Hoeven. “The ME system is now a firm rental favourite in Ampco –Flashlight’s stock.”
The Qu-16’s were selected for their small footprint to manage smaller events and to accompany the ME systems.
“The great thing about the Qu-16 is that you get all the power of a pro digital mixer, fitted into a rack, for a fraction of the price,” concludes Ampco – Flashlight’s Henri Koning.
