CASE STUDY
“THE GUYS WERE REALLY HAPPY WITH THE EASE OF USE, THE BUILD QUALITY AND
THE SOUND OF THE UNITS, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE OTHER SYSTEMS THEY
USED BEFORE”
SASCHA KOHL – MONITOR ENGINEER
BAND: Grosch´s Eleven

The Requirement
The Sing meinen Song Reality TV Series set up band rehearsals in a
studio in Germany but the recordings took place 8000 miles away in
South Africa. With two locations, all of the equipment needed to be
shipped so it needed to be as compact as possible.
With so many audio channels there were two options for the band,
either band members do their own mix, or they take a huge console for
the monitor engineer to do all the mixes.

Studio: Naidoo/Herberger Produktion
The Solution
The ME personal monitoring system was used by all the musicians. The 11
ME-1 mixers were fed from a ME-U hub with a MADI-Card fitted in the option
slot.
The monitor engineer decided to have one MADI steam feeding the ME-U for
the rehearsals and another MADI stream for the show.
The FOH console that was used to create the 40 channels was a Digico
SD8. The SD8 did the mix for the recording and also created several mixes
for the guest IEMs. The MADI stream for the ME-U was also created in the
SD8. All signals were converted by RME and fed into a Protools system.
