Qu-16 supports Singapore Grand Prix
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: Live audio and broadcast feeds at the recent Formula One Grand Prix in Singapore were handled by an Allen & Heath Qu-16 rackmount mixer. Supplied and managed by Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd, the deployed system also included microphones from Shure.
The console was used to send signals from the drivers to the Formula One Management (FOM) systems, which were forwarded on to the track’s Media Centre. The Media Centre distributed audio to the arena loudspeaker system for the local audience and the Qu-16 was also used to manage the audio for press conferences in the Media Centre and at the podium area. Furthermore, it was also used to support the broadcast of the winning team’s national anthem.
‘The Qu-16 was chosen for its versatility and power-packed features, available in a compact footprint, which was necessary as we were literally situated on the sidewall of the pit lane for the opening ceremony,’ comments Abel Yap, systems applications engineer at E&E.
