Roland V-Mixing System on The Sing-Off Live Tour
Bryan Farina is production manager and FOH Engineer for the tour whose extensive background includes sound engineer for Manhattan Transfer for the last twelve years as well as New York Voices, Straight No Chaser, and Grammy winning Jazz Vocalist Kurt Elling.

The Sony Pictures Television produced series The Sing-Off is hitting the road for its first live tour with the Roland M-480 V-Mixing System for Monitor Position as well as the Roland R-1000 for Multi-Channel Recording and virtual sound check. The popular a cappella TV show tour consists of season 4 front-runners Filharmonic, VoicePlay, and the winners, Home Free.
The monitor setup consists of the Roland M-480 with the S-1608 digital snake. The M-480 takes a MADI split from the Midas Pro1 Console and Klark Teknick DN9650 format converter using the Roland S-MADI Bridge. There is a mixture of Shure PSM 900 Personal Monitors and monitor wedges all being mixed on the Roland M-480 V-Mixer console.
Mixing sound for a wide variety of vocal groups in one night can be tricky. Farina says, “The Roland V-Mixing System makes it easy….we just hit store, save the scene, name it, and hit recall when we are ready to go live.”

The Sing-Off Tour started it’s 32-city tour February 19th in Verona, NY and finishes up March 29th at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA. For more information about the tour www.singofftour.com.
