iDR INSTALLED IN NEW ZEALAND HERITAGE BUILDING

Allen & Heath’s New Zealand distributor, Jansen Professional Audio & Lighting, recently installed an Allen & Heath iDR DSP system in a heritage building in Auckland. Formerly the headquarters of The Northern Steamship Company, the building has been carefully renovated into a state-of-the-art bar and restaurant by the Macs Ale Brewery, and retains the name of the original tenant -The Northern Steamship Co. Brewbar and Restaurant. Jansen selected Proel Edge Series speakers driven by Phonic XP Series amplifiers, all controlled by an Allen & Heath 16x16 matrix iDR-4 mixing processor, with an accompanying PL-10 rotary fader remote control panel located centrally for immediate access to functions.

“The venue is divided into two areas - one is a bar, and the other a restaurant - with separate sound systems requiring different music sources, EQ, and volume settings to suit different moods during the evening,” comments Jansen’s Director, Simon Adams. “The iDR system provides zoned audio distribution using a computer-based music library from Computer Music systems, controlled via PDA's.”
