Allen & Heath’s Dutch distributor, TM Audio, recently completed a huge audio installation in a new multi-function venue, installing a variety of Allen & Heath products to manage all the sound requirements, from mixing consoles to audio distribution and processing.
Situated in Purmerend near Amsterdam, the new venue, P3, was commissioned to host a variety of international and national cultural events, including music concerts, theatre, and dance performances, as well as provide facilities for rehearsals.
“P3’s modern architecture and advanced technical facilities qualify it as one of the leading venues in Holland; as such, it required audio equipment to match,” comments TM Audio’s project manager, Jaap Pronk. “The fact that Allen & Heath’s product portfolio is so varied, meant we were able to exclusively install A&H kit. P3 can provide high quality and flexible mixers for amateur musicians in practice room 1, top bands in the main hall, as well as install sophisticated audio distribution around the complex, only using Allen & Heath.”
P3 comprises three halls – the Main Hall, Small Hall, and Theatre Hall – and five rehearsal suites, complemented by a 2 level bar and cafe. A 40-channel ML4000 live sound VCA console has been installed in the Main Hall for FOH mixing, with a 32-channel GL4800 multi-purpose console on monitor duties. A 32-channel ML4000 has been installed in the Small Hall to manage dual-function FOH and monitors, and a 16-channel GL2800 dual-function mixer has been installed in the Theatre Hall. Xone:92 MIDI-enabled DJ mixers are installed in the Main Hall and Small Hall to cater for any visiting DJ’s, the five rehearsal suites are equipped with PA12-CP powered mixers, whilst a GR05 analogue zone mixer is installed in the bar to provide audio for playback sources, and zoning control for the split-level bar.
