The show will recommence production this month when Tomcat will use the system through to the grand final in late November
New Zealand - PA company, Tomcat Production Services, road-tested an Allen & Heath iLive-T digital mixing system on the first leg of New Zealand's Got Talent audition tour.

Comprising an iDR-64 MixRack and iLive-T112 Control Surface, the system managed all of the three FOH speaker systems, the main performance PA, the small distributed speech PA, and the judges' near field monitor system.iLive also took care of the stage monitor system - approximately two to sixsends - and Tomcat used it as part of the audio department shout comms system.

"NZGT's audition tour is an audio marathon, comprising 35-40 acts a day with practically no sound checks and you are dealing with anything from a 60 piece choir to a singing basset hound," explains Andy Tait from Tomcat Production Services. "iLive coped with everything I threw at it without a hitch and of course the snapshot function was a life saver - quick and easy."

"I am now a huge iLive fan and have purchased the system. As the demands of this tour get more complex, I trust that iLive will handle the project easily and gracefully," concludes Tait.
