Production / Case Studies / Yeovil Youth Council - Concert Production
Concert Production is the “Bread and Butter” of our business here at Revolution Audio, and our reputation for quality, service and value has seen us providing systems across the country for events large and small. A shining example in our local area of our work involved Yeovil Youth Council, who hosted a concert in honour of local teenager Callum Denham, and to raise awareness and funds for road safety charity Brake.
With the organisers being new to event planning and management, we delivered on our commitment to personal, friendly service by supporting and assisting them in every stage of the planning process right down to delivery of the event itself, held at The GateWay venue in the centre of the town.
We deployed a substantial audio system in order to fill the 700-capacity venue, and also arranged additional alterations as well as operation of the venue's in-house lighting system. On the audio side, stacks of HK Projector were deployed as the main system, amply filling the space with tremendous punch and throw. Coverage was further improved by the deployment of a pair of QSC K10s as Frontfills. Despite the already powerful and far-reaching low end present in the Projector system, we opted to go even further by using an Aux Send to drive a centre pair of Nexo LS1200 enclosures. The individual EQ, processing and per-channel level control provided tremendous flexibility and allowed the additional sub-bass to be precisely dialled in.
On stage, eight ways of wedges were provided using a mixture of DB Technologies and RCF enclosures, with an additional ESP Audio 18" Subwoofer deployed alongside the drum wedge for further low end extension. The microphone selection includes various high-end models from Shure, Sennheiser, Audix and Audiotechnica, along with BSS DI Boxes. Full power planning and distribution was provided, based from a 63A supply, and using Revolution Audio’s substantial stocks of distribution and cable.
At Front of House, our Soundcraft Si Compact 32 once again lived up to its reputation as the ideal console for events with fast changeovers and tight time pressures. Sound checks were extremely swift, and changeover times kept down - in some cases - to little over a minute. This was in no doubt also down to the tremendous efficiency and professionalism of Revolution Audio's crew, both of whom received praise for their efforts in bringing the event together so smoothly.

"I've never heard sound setup and sorted out so on point - awesome job."
