For the techies amongst you, you’ll be interested to hear that London's globally renowned nightclub, Fabric, has upgraded its existing live sound desk to a 32-channel Allen & Heath GL4800 multi-purpose console. For the clubbers, you'll just be happy to know that the live acts will sound clearer and louder! The club exclusively uses Allen & Heath mixers, and the new purchase is to be installed in Room Two, which hosts the live acts performing weekly at the club. Speaking about the new piece of kit Fabric’s head of live sound , Roberto Pieroni, explains the clubs loyalty to what they regard as the leading manafactures in the market:"We are completely devoted to Allen & Heath mixers, and have Xone DJ mixers, including the Xone:92, V6, 02, 62 and 464 models installed in all our rooms. They are the best sounding, best-featured mixing products I've ever evaluated. It was the logical choice to select one of Allen & Heath's larger boards for our live acts."
The GL4800 - with the option for 4 extra stereos - is the flagship model from the range, and will manage FoH and Monitors for the live acts ranging from DJs with MCs, live percussion and instruments, to fully-kitted bands. Many of you will already have admired the sound in Room 2, due to it already having a 4 mono/6 stereo channel Allen & Heath Xone:464 club mixer permanently installed, with Martin Audio speakers, JBL amps, and XTA and TC Electronic outboard equipment.
