Stories From the Road

Allen Rowand, Metric Halo’s Field Operative worked as the advance engineer for the Wicked 1st National Tour. In this capacity, Allen travelled to a new city every few weeks, loaded in a full Broadway live theater sound reinforcement system, and tuned the system for each venue. Of course, he used SpectraFoo and Mobile I/O to pull off this massive undertaking. Using SpectraFoo’s multi-channel analysis functions, coupled with the 2882 as a multichannel analysis preamp, processor and switcher allowed the tour to do detailed analysis and tuning across multiple zones in a fraction of the time possible with other systems. Each load-in and venue posed their own challenges, and Allen has taken the time to write about these challenges and solutions. Here are the Stories from the Road chronicling the loadins and the ways that 'Foo made the show better in every venue.
