A closer look at our Allen & Heath audio setup

Our Qu-5D and SQ-5+ desks, together with sE microphones, give us flexible tools for the variety of events we work on.

A desk that fits the event

A small presentation and a live band put very different demands on an audio system. Our Allen & Heath Qu-5D and SQ-5+ desks give us options for those different jobs.

Digital control lets the engineer work through input processing, EQ, dynamics and monitor mixes from the desk. The Qu-5D also brings Dante connectivity into the setup where it is needed.

Good sound starts before the faders

The microphone and its position are the first part of the chain. Our sE microphones give us useful options for capturing sources on stage, with the final choice made around the instrument or voice.

We build the audio arrangement around the event, then check it with the people using it. The desk is one part of that system; source capture, routing and the room all play their part.

Why Sennheiser G4 travels with our events

From presenters to singers, wireless microphones give performers freedom on stage. The preparation behind them matters just as much.

Different stages, familiar tools

Our Sennheiser G4 wireless systems cover both handheld and headset microphones. Handhelds suit singers and presenters who want a microphone in their hand; headsets suit people who need both hands free.

The useful part is the flexibility across the kinds of events we deliver. A conference panel and a live music stage need different microphone arrangements, even when the wireless system behind them is familiar.

Wireless needs a plan

Frequency selection, receiver placement and checks before the event all affect how the system performs. We consider the room and the other equipment in use as part of the setup.

The microphone choice is also about the person using it. We work through placement and levels during preparation so the performer or presenter can concentrate on their part of the event.
