Warner AV Mixes with the Animals

Summer may be almost over, but it's never too late to talk about the Animal Crackers 2011 concert series at the Racine Zoo in Wisconsin.

Project Manager Dave Ruke had fun mixing the bands Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Rippingtons, Joey DeFracesco Trio and Special FX.

Warner AV supplied all the sound, back line gear and lighting for all of the concerts. For sound, Dave used a new Avid Digi/Design Venue SC-48 digital audio console. A Yamaha M7cl digital audio console was used for stage monitors. Electro-Voice DML series with Crown amplification and BSS Omnidrive DSP management were used for house speakers.

Overall, the bands didn't have to worry about their sound with our production, and many audience members said it was the best Animal Cracker series they had been to in years!
