Hi!
I have a pub/live venue with two floors. Main stage (220 cap) and basement (80 cap). The basement is separated in four rooms - main room, pool room, side room and hall/walkway. (btw PA is not yet installed in any main area re: attached images).
On the main floor I will have a c1500 with Dante card in stage rack, a stereo analog line and a PC (background music). Mixer and PC going to a switch connected to Dante 32*32 card in AHM32, analog wired straight in ofc. Basement also has a c1500 (without Dante card for now because money) and a BT receiver/analog line, both hardwired into AHM.
Have set up two of the analog inputs on the matrix as basic mic inputs and routed them to each floor.
I want to be able to send audio from every source (main stage mixer, main stage analog output, main stage pc/background music, basement mixer, basement BT receiver and both floor mics - to different areas depending on situation. I also want it to be really easy for the bartenders in each bar to select what audio source they want, and where - and how loud - they want it.
Matrix is - for now - set up by a friend who knows a lot more about A&H systems than I do, but is not an A&H systems engineer. He is also quite busy with his day job as FOH engineer, so I am usually left alone trying to understand this box!
I have made a really simple Custom Control app which works ok for volume adjustment in the basement rooms.
However, I don’t know how I should set up the whole system. For instance, should I host some closed event in the basement requiring say a mic, some guitars and whatnot, I think I know how to route those sources to the basement only, but not without logging into AHM systems manager and selecting Xpoint routing manually. When there’s a live show on the main stage, I also want to have the possibility to route the live audio to the basement. I would really like this to be simplified to the point where a bartender could simply select from a screen where sound should come from, and where it’s heard. From all sources, to all areas.
How should I do this?
Thanks in advance!
