Allen & Heath Digital Consoles Manage Brazilian Carnival

Allen & Heath's iLive-112 digital systems were used at Brazil's famous carnival celebrations to manage the live performances of international artists including Claudia Leite, Jota Quest, Pericles, and Michel Telo. Mixes were also routed to four GLD-80s, which handled the worldwide broadcast feeds.

Allen & Heath's distributor, Teleponto, supplied the consoles, designed the systems, and managed the live performances and global transmission of the carnival. Six teams and a total of 70 staff were required to ensure the successful operation of 6 straight days of transmission and 72 hours of live broadcasts, the company says.

The GLD-80 consoles were used to handle audio feeds sent from several remote locations spanning over 2km. In addition, four AR2412 and eight AR84 audio racks and over 7km of optical fibre cable were used.

"With more than 2 million people in attendance and simultaneous live feeds to more than a dozen international broadcast and online networks, reliability was of the utmost importance, and as expected Allen & Heath delivered," says Antonio Pereira Neto, president of Teleponto.
