CAMBRIDGE, New Zealand – The 600-capacity auditorium at St. Peter's School has been equipped with an Allen & Heath iLive digital mixing system that includes an iDR-32 MixRack with iLive-T112 Control Surface. Before the upgrade, the school had been using an analog mixer.
The auditorium is used for dance, drama and music events throughout the academic year, culminating in an intensive performing arts fortnight, which includes two variety concerts, a rock concert, dance showcase and house music competitions.
"We have had a variety of A&H desks over the years and we loved our GL2800, but the complexities of the concerts we stage and the scale of our annual major production means an upgrade to digital was advantageous," said Bruce Richards, St Peter's School AV manager. "We chose iLive because A&H has always been reliable and I like the ‘analog style' interface, rather than menus within menus."
The auditorium's audio system includes Martin Audio F12 speakers, Lab.gruppen amps and xta processors. The school also has two compact analogue mixers – a 16-channel GL2200 and ZED-14 USB mixer, for use in the adjoining performing arts studios.
One of New Zealand's top independent secondary schools, St. Peter's also features an equestrian park and golf academy on its 100-acres campus.
