NEW YORK, New York — One of the most popular live bands in music history, The
Allman Brothers Band is currently in the midst of its annual residency at the
Beacon Theatre in New York City. For this year’s 11-show stretch, Lititz,
Pennsylvania-based Clair Global is providing two HARMAN Studer Vista 5 SR
digital consoles for front of house and monitor mixing.
For nearly
ever year since 1989, The Allman Brothers Band has had an annual residency at
the Beacon Theatre, where the band’s shows are celebrated for their
unpredictability. Because of the band’s extensive catalog of material, remarkable
improvisational skills and numerous surprise guest performers, no two Beacon
Theatre concerts are the same. This year’s shows have included guest
appearances by the Blind Boys of Alabama, Joan Osborne, John Popper, and Luther
and Cody Dickinson.
FOH engineer
Bruce “Slim” Judd and monitor engineer Earl McCoy are both using Vista 5 SR consoles
at their respective positions. In addition, The Allman Brothers Band is
utilizing the Beacon Theatre’s in-house PA system, which features JBL powered VERTEC line arrays.
This year
marks the first time Studer Vista 5 SR digital consoles have been used for the
band’s Beacon Theatre residency, which were chosen for their versatility, ease
of use and—most of all—unmatched sound quality.
“I really
like working with the Vista 5 SR—in my opinion, it’s the best sounding digital
console out there,” Judd said.
