“An Intimate Night Out with Neon Trees” is taking the U.S. by storm as they tour this summer using the Allen & Heath iLive T-112. Branden Campbell, bass guitarist for Neon Trees, said the iLive-T112 is a reliable piece of equipment. “The most important thing to me is consistency and to get that every night. Every venue we play is different and we are at the disposal of so many things. It’s important to have that consistency and it offers that,” Campbell said.
Neal Duffy, production manager/FOH, has been using Allen & Heath equipment on tour for four years, specifically the iLive T-112 and the iDR-48 MixRack with 48 Mic/Line inputs and 24 XLR line outputs. Duffy appreciates the many features on the iLive T-112. “The multi band compression is great, really accurate in use. I absolutely love the sub-harmonic synth. Sounds great, easy to use and very intuitive. All around a great piece,” he said.
Justin Roberts, monitor engineer, runs the iLive T-112 during performances. He values the expandable features. “Everything the band is hearing is coming from the in-ears. This gives us excellent control over both the left, right, and panning stereo imaging for every individual on what they want to hear. Everything is customized and the faders flip as I switch from each individual. One fader can control two stereo left/right channels, which is convenient because you can select their mix. It’s nice, you can make changes on the fly during the show or rehearsal,” Roberts said.
The band will be performing at small venues until they end their tour at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston Massachusetts on Sunday, July 26, 2015. A list of tour dates can be found at http://www.neontreestour.com/.
