To keep pace with modern tour riders, and the growing move by the medium-sized venue market to offer bands the opportunity to leave their production in the truck, visiting sound engineers can now mix their acts through Soundcraft 64-channel Vi6 at front-of-house and 48-channel Vi4 at the monitor position.
The desks were chosen by the venue's technical manager Dave McVea, and installed by the SSE Audio Group installation project team, led by Alex Penn and Steve Dando.
Rock City is owned by DHP (Daybrook House Promotions) who went through a long process of consideration before it made its final choice of an audio supplier. Managing director David Davies explains, "One of the deciding factors was the flexibility the system gave us. We at Rock City have a wide variety of events and performers across our stage in any year so the system will have to withstand many varied demands. It is this that eventually made us choose the solution offered by SSE Sales."
