AES (Booth
#503) --
Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID), a
leading global media technology provider for the creation,
distribution and monetization of media assets for global media
organizations, enterprise users and individual creative
professionals, today announced that award-winning sound designer
Gareth Owen relies on Avid’s flagship live sound system to support
some of the world’s most popular musical theater productions. Avid
VENUE™ | S6L provided Owen with the sound quality and versatility
to meet the demands of multiple, concurrent stage productions this
summer, including Bat Out of Hell, Wind in the Willows and 42nd
Street—all running in London’s West End, as well as A Bronx Tale
and Come From Away on Broadway.
Working on a diverse range of high-profile productions, Owen
needs a live sound system with the power and flexibility to create
the perfect sound for each production regardless of the genre. As
long-time members of Avid’s distinguished user community, Owen and
his team were the first to adopt Avid VENUE | S6L for Broadway and
West End productions, using its extensive programming capabilities
to craft much of each show during the production phase.
“Every show is different, and some are polar opposites
of each other in terms of sonic requirements—for example,
Bat Out of Hell is a balls-to-the-wall rock and roll musical, as
loud as any concert, while 42nd Street is the traditional
book musical, all about subtlety and transparency,” said
Owen. “The S6L takes these varying musical styles in its stride,
tackling them all as if it was designed specifically for that
purpose. The sound quality is far ahead of any other console I’ve
used. There’s a clarity and transparency to the sound of the S6L
that’s a new experience for me. And it gives me the power to
explore my creativity without being hemmed in by the
technology.”
Owen and his team are currently using the Avid VENUE | S6L
console for several shows, including Come From Away (Broadway), A
Bronx Tale (Broadway), ,42nd Street (West End), Young Frankenstein
(West End) and Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame (Germany). They
will also be using the console for a number of upcoming
productions, including Donna Summer (Broadway), Come From Away
(Toronto), Prince of Egypt (Denmark), Bat Out of Hell (Toronto),
Starlight Express (London) and Strictly Ballroom (London).
“We are honored that one of the world’s top sound designers
relies on Avid’s comprehensive tools and workflow solutions to mix
the biggest musical theater productions,” said Avid President, Jeff
Rosica. “As well as giving Gareth and his team the control and
creative flexibility to support the most sophisticated productions
regardless of genre, the Avid VENUE | S6L console’s sound quality
is second to none.”
