Situated in the Beaches neighborhood in the east end of Toronto, History is a 2500-capacity venue for the live music experience of the city’s gig-goers. Run by Live Nation, its packed program of events sees a wide variety of artists from all genres pass through the venue, with bills often featuring multiple acts.
As is the case at festivals, these multi-band events present audio challenges all of their own. Often, each band on the bill will bring its own mixing console which requires patching into the venue sound system for each soundcheck and between each set. Technicians are only too aware of the pressure points that this can create, so to meet the demand for a solution to potential disruptions in this area, UK manufacturer, XTA, created the MX Series of DSP enabled console switching systems. The forward-thinking team at History recently invested in the MX36 to address the ever-increasing number of shows carrying multiple consoles.
