Blakenhale Junior School Installation – Hall Sound System
Blakenhale required a sound system installation which could be removed when not in operation to use the hall for different activities. ALG designed, manufactured and supplied a flight case rack containing all the equipment and power distribution.
The rack contained a Peavey FX16 mixing console a mixture of Audio Technica radio microphones, headsets and the new Tascam iPod dock CD player. On the stage, four hanging microphones and a 50 meter stage box 16in / 4 returns.
Installed are two speaker plug-in points to connect the rack to the four wall mounted Electro-Voice iLive speakers and one computer input for the projector and AV connections.

FX Series mixers feature new, Peavey-exclusive technology to enhance live sound reproduction and project studio recording, including Silencer mic preamps, which allow very high gain with low noise and distortion for crystal-clear signal reproduction. The four pre-fader auxes per channel provide 4 monitor mixes while the two post-fader auxes are ideal for adding effects (those built-in or outboard). These mixers also include dual DSP engines that allow multiple simultaneous effects assignable to any channel via aux 5/6 on DSP engine 2. Onboard effects include reverb,reverb enhanced, delay, compression,expander, de-esser, chorus, flanger, tube emulator, vocal enhancer and gate. Up to 3 processors can be chained together on each of the two available Effects windows. The digital output processing section includes Feedback Ferrets, dual 5- band Parametric EQ or dual 27-band Graphic EQs, digital delay lines, and dynamics/limiters. The output section can be configured forStereo, Dual mono or with a built-in electronic crossover in Subwoofer mode. The mixers’ dual USB ports, which allow streaming of digital audio directly to a computer or memory stick, also feature exclusive, built-in MP3 compression. You can record your rehearsals, songwriting sessions or live performances directly to an inexpensive USB stick … no other hardware needed and then transfer them to your computer to burn CDs or to transmit electronically.
