Event Wave was proud to again provide audio systems and support for the second annual, sold-out Code Conference. This year’s show was produced by The Trillium Creations and held in the Grand Ballroom at the Terranea resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Building on the last year’s success, this year’s audio system design once again incorporated a Yamaha CL5 console, with a Rio-3224D I/O rack providing backstage audio. This year, Dante Virtual Soundcard handled FOH music playback, allowing a cleaner, smaller FOH footprint, with fewer cables needed. Following the Yamaha CL V3 software update, all automixing duties were handled in-console, allowing seamless, transparent control over the multiple microphones onstage at any given time.
Also new in 2015 were Shure ULX-D wireless microphones. These microphones provided enhanced audio quality, flawless RF performance, and rechargeable batteries. The ultra-accurate battery telemetry, easy-to-use SBC200 docking stations, and all-day battery life were a welcome improvement from typical disposable AA batteries. Between these microphones and the BTR-800 wireless intercom with rechargeable battery kit, no disposable batteries were consumed during the week-long event.
