The first purchase of an iLive digital mixing system in Scotland was made by Ward Steedsy Associates

The recently formed Scotland-based PA company has recently received Allen & Heath’s iDR10 Mixrack and iLive-112 control surface. The company, who handles dry and wet hire of lighting and audio equipment and full event management services, specifically for live music events in the central Scotland region.

“We organised a few shootouts with existing analogue consoles and the affordable digital options. iLive impressed us because not only does it provide all the benefits of digital - such as the use of CAT5 cables instead of bulky multicores, and a whole host of inboard processing - it is simple to use, easy for engineers to pick up, has a small footprint, is excellent value for money and has fantastic analogue sound quality,” comments Steven Ward.

“We have used the new system on a variety of events in the short amount of time we’ve owned it. We debuted the system at the Linlithgow Civic Festival, we managed a large open air gig for the Bay City Rollers where it really showed us what it is capable of a fiddlers rally with 75 musicians and a Ceilidh with 600 people,” commented David “Steedsy” Stevenson. “All the bands loved the features and it works very well with our new Funktion One sound system.

“The iLive gives us everything we need in one compact package. All the outboard and effects are already there, so it is easier to transport, set up and operate.”
