SSE Hire has supplied the complete PA system, along with a control package for both the European and American legs of the tour. Working with L-Acoustics Field Application Consultant, Ulf Oeckel, a configuration featuring L-ISA was designed for the 2019 Tour. The L-ISA processor then produces the different outputs for each of the line arrays.Ī demo of L-ISA at L-Acoustics HQ in Marcoussis made Dave Dixon realise it was the solution to Knopfler’s request for a more open mix on stage. From a grapical interface on a computer screen, the engineer places each instrument within the sound field typically to reflect where on stage the source is coming from. L-ISA addresses this problem by using multiple line arrays across the front of the stage. The conventional challenge with sound reinforcement is that there is only a very narrow field between the stage and the mixing console where the listener is hearing the same image as the FOH engineer, even with a stereo image. L-ISA is L-Acoustics’ solution to immersive sound, the technology that allows audio to be presented to every listener in the same 3d image. At the time the answer was no as half the audience just wouldn’t hear it but it was this conversation that planted the seed that lead to the adoption of immersive audio. L-R Audio Crew Guillaume Richards, Klaus (Bob) Bolender, Max Menelec, Pete Hughes with Christophe Combet, L-Acoustics Director of Sound System Designĭuring a 2015 tour, long standing FOH engineer Dave ‘DD’ Dixon was asked by Mark Knopfler if a guitar could be panned to come out of just one side of the PA.

Apart from the main man's musical virtuosity on a range of guitars, the other band members collectively play some 40 plus instruments, including fiddles, mandolins, flutes, penny whistles, a pedal steel, a Hammond organ, a sax, a trumpet, a double bass, drums and every kind of percussion imaginable. The former Dire Straits main man has put together an ensemble of ten talented supporting musicians who play a plethora of instruments for each 'Evening with Mark Knopfler and Band' as each gig on the tour in support of Knopfler's latest Album is styled.
