Now, the church is ready for both on-location and off-site celebrations, including the church's annual GodChicks Conference that takes place in Pasadena, CA. For Oasis Church technical coordinator, Daniel Rivera, the biggest factor in choosing the Aviom system was the need to change the theatre's aesthetics and to lower the stage volume. He also wanted a system that could accommodate the 60 musicians who share the stage at any given time.
"The Aviom personal mixers have given each musician the flexibility and control to create their own custom preset," says Rivera. "They can each handle all of the monitor settings and can even recall them, which has eliminated our need for a separate monitor engineer."
This permanent site now hosts an Aviom personal mixing system consisting of an A-16D Pro Distributor, which routes audio from an Aviom16/o-Y1 card installed in a Yamaha PM5D console to several A-16II Personal Mixers, controlled on-stage by up to 60 members of the rotating house bands. The Oasis Church musicians use the Aviom A-16II Personal Mixers to control the mix they hear in their Ultimate Ears in-ear monitors.
