Allen & Heath Conducts iLive User Certification in the Historic Craneway Pavilion

Allen & Heath recently conducted an iLive User certification with the help of the Craneway Pavilion, the large-scale events space in Richmond, California. The user certification is a four-hour hands-on mixing class centered on the Allen & Heath ILive digital mixing system. Aimed at operators, production companies, and integrators, this clinic is the first in a series of certification levels for iLive users and prospective clients. The Craneway is in the home of the original Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford plant and was also home of Rosie the Riveter during WWII. It now features a performance venue, employing two iLive T112 systems for the front of house and monitors. More 50 attendees took part in the vent.

Michael Palmer, sales manager for Allen & Heath USA, says, "We have received an overwhelming response to these hands on mixing clinics. The opportunity to be able to sit users down at the system and go through the nuts and bolt of this amazingly flexible system is priceless. With the networking capabilities of the iLive system, we have live multi-track demos connected via our new Dante card into the master system and all other systems are receiving audio on the network. Upwards of 10 systems have been used at this training all connected with simple Cat 5 cables, the users have all been amazed at how easy it is to build and design a multiple console networked system and it really simplifies the teaching aspect of this system. We have seen tremendous sales increases based around these training and will continue to deploy these across the country. In early 2012, we will be launching iLive advanced system certification, which will be a Level 2 class.

Allen & Heath products are distributed in the US by American Music and Sound.
