Mclean Audio Use Soundcraft At Logies
Great sound equipment has a very low noise floor so that the audience can effortlessly enjoy the music and understand the voice with no superfluous buzz or hum. A parallel can be made with Melbourne-based McLean Audio; they are quiet achievers who leave the limelight for the artists and producers whilst consistently providing quality audio production.
Steadily McLeans have been adding to their inventory by purchasing a variety of excellent audio products from Jands including a Soundcraft MH4 large format console which was used most recently on the Logie Awards, an annual event for McLeans and their broadcast friends. This adds to a Soundcraft MH3 purchased recently and updates the analogue console stable to the latest clean front-end consoles with automation features.
“The MH4 front end was extremely quiet and the EQ is very musical so I didn’t need to use much,” said Paul Mossop, the sound operator for the Logies. “It’s a nice addition to the equipment here at McLeans. The dual configuration busses mean you can reach the whole board from a seated position, which is a plus for a long broadcast show such as the Logies. The console has excellent headroom characteristics and performed faultlessly.”
Other recent purchases from Jands include JBL SRX 712M compact floor monitors. “This is an equipment upgrade for our rental department inventory and the wedges were used extensively on the recent Melbourne International Comedy Festival,” said Richard Bilinski, managing director of McLean Audio. “The Soundcraft MH3 was the house mix console for the showcase venue of the Comedy Festival; the Melbourne Town Hall main auditorium.”
Sometimes it is good to let people know what you are up to, maybe so as not to surprise them too much! Recently, McLeans have been showcasing their latest gear from Jands at the AFL Grand Final and the ANZAC match, both at the MCG, whilst broadcast activities includes Rove Live, The Logies, RVIB Carols by Candelight and Dancing With The Stars.
