TEGUCIGULPA, Honduras – Comunicaciones Mango BTL (Mango) recently added an Allen & Heath iLive digital mixing system to its rental stock, which includes Electro-Voice PA and D.A.S. PA line array gear. The AV rental company provides event management services for a client list that includes Unilever, Pepsico, Tigo, Bimbo and Cerveceria Hondureña.
"We started using digital consoles three years ago and we love the flexibility digital gives us as we can carry less equipment. Recently we decided to invest in a digital console with at least 48 channel capacity," said Mango's Andre Ferrer, adding that a demo of the iLive-T system by Allen & Heath's distributor, All Music Corp., led to the decision. "We decided iLive was the right choice due to the flexible digital snake and easy learning curve."
Mango purchased an iLive system comprising an iDR-48 MixRack and iLive-T112 Control Surface. The system was used for the first time at a Pepsi corporate event, launching a new campaign to media outlets. Held at a Tegucigulpa lounge bar, Campanella, the event included a showcase of Batucada – a local samba-style percussive display – and a performance by a popular local band, Natural.
"iLive is very versatile, which means I can apply it to all genres of music, from tropical to extreme metal, and it is great to use for FOH or monitors," said sound engineer, Rafael David. "The preamps have nice headroom and I love the gate, compressor, and the flexibility of the process chain."
