Chinese Cantopop singer and songwriter Hins Cheung recently kicked off his tour ‘Live in Passion’ at Guangzhou Gymnasium with the help of a monitor mixing system comprising Allen & Heath’s new dLive and ME personal monitor mixing systems.

Allen & Heath designs and manufactures professional audio mixing consoles for an international clientele in the live sound, installed systems and nightclub markets.

Leading Hong Kong production company, A Team Plus, managed audio for the tour, selecting a dLive S5000 Control Surface and DM64 MixRack, and ME monitor system provided by Allen & Heath’s Chinese distributor, EZPro.

The band on stage includes a drummer, bass, two guitarists, one programmer, three key boards and four vocals, each equipped with a ME-1 personal mixer to control their own mix on stage.

“Due to the size of the band, there is 64 inputs to manage. Fortunately, dLive’s control surface is very user-friendly and intuitive. Two screens on the surface provide a fantastic overview of what’s going on, and around the screens there are some physical knobs for compressor, EQ, and gate, which are extremely helpful when I mix. I can operate very quickly thanks to the Harmony UI, which integrates screen and wrap-around control,” explains monitor engineer, Faymum Man.
