Australian superclub Home Sydney has continued its new lease of life over the past 12 months with a host of specialized events taking over the venue. However, it’s an adjustment in the back room that has caught our eye with Home announcing a partnership with Allen & Heath. It comes as no surprise given A&H’s big recent push into the Australian market recently announcing its support of a number Australia’s most well known DJs.
The technical refit at Home has included the installation of a state of the art audio system comprising exclusively Allen & Heath mixers, and a 16 cabinet JBL line-array. Owner of Home Simon Page sights a consistent stream of requests for A&H equipment and the changing face of the club and the demands that live acts pose on club systems:"I have a passion for both live and club music and I am very excited by the emerging genre that combines elements of both. We had very clear demands from both local and international artists to choose Allen & Heath DJ consoles, so it was an easy step for us to go with Allen & Heath for the live requirements as well.”
For the techies amongst you, the club now has a A MIDI-enabled Xone:92 mixer in the main room with a second unit in the Terrace Room. For live productions, a 48-channel 12-aux ML4000 VCA console is installed FOH in the main auditorium, with a 40-channel 10-aux GL2800 mixer on monitors. A 16-channel rackmount MixWizard manages live performances in the Mezzanine, which is designated for smaller support bands.
