PRODUCTION

PROFILE

C anadian pop music is a hot commodity these days, and it hasn't taken long for

Shawn Mendes to put his name along

- side those of Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and Justin Bieber when it comes to interna - tional demand and acclaim. That point is made perfectly clear when one considers the routing of Mendes' current

Illuminate

World Tour, sup- porting the album of the same name that ulti - mately cemented his status as a worldwide star.

The tour is a total whirlwind, comprised

of 61 dates and taking Mendes, his band and crew from the U.K. and mainland Europe to

North America, Latin America, Oceania and

Asia, featuring a date at Brazil's massive Rock

in Rio Festival and two hometown shows at To- ronto's Air Canada Centre.

It's an impressive career trajectory, consid

- ering Mendes only came to fame in 2013, at- tracting millions of followers with short acous - tic covers on Vine. A year later, he was signed to Island Records and in 2015 released his de- but album,

Handwritten

, featuring the smash hit single "Stitches."

What's ?tting is that, for the

Illuminate

World

Tour, Mendes is carrying a production package

anchored by a substantial loudspeaker system from Adamson Systems Engineering - anoth - er Canadian entity that has seen its stock rise signi?cantly in recent years.

Cleveland, OH's Eighth Day Sound supplied

the gear package, which features Adamson

E-Series and S-Series loudspeakers powered

by Lab.gruppen PLM 20K44 ampli?ers with

Lake processing. Control comes via a new Avid

VENUE S6L digital mixing system loaded with

Waves SoundGrid Server One.The Sound System

FOH engineer Tom Wood, a British expat

who now calls Canada home, says one of his top priorities when mixing for Mendes is en - suring that every single fan is getting the full experience. "The bar has been raised for what people expect sonically at concerts," he says, and as such, he does his best to ensure that every- one in the back of the arena is experiencing the same show and level of excitement as those fortunate enough to be right up front.

Of course, the choice of P.A. goes a long way

towards achieving that.

Since the

Illuminate

World Tour hits arenas of various sizes and seating con?gurations in many international markets, the FOH audio system was built around the principal goal of sonic consistency.

The typical con?guration consists of main

hangs with 15 Adamson E15 three-way, true line source enclosures and three E12 three- way, true line source enclosures per side. The complementing left and right sub hangs each incorporate eight Adamson E119 subwoofers.

Also in the air are side hangs comprised of 12

E15s and three E12s each.

Wood is an accomplished pianist, and

subsequently has a very musical mixing style that's well suited to the E15s - even at a high volume. "We have some of the loudest fans of any show I've ever been to or any artist I've ever seen. With the E15s, I feel truly con?dent that if I need six more dB after sound check to get up to a happy show volume, the sound will be consistent. That's so important."

Rounding out the system are eight S10

front ?lls and 16 more E119s, ground-stacked in eight pairs. "The E119 is probably one of the best subs I have used - ever," Wood asserts. "It is mind-blowing how much power consistent- ly comes out of those boxes."Venue Versatility

For venues where the full system can't be

deployed, Eighth Day Sound Systems Tech Ben Smith can scale it down to any number of the

E-Series or S-Series boxes as desired and en

- sure consistent performance thanks to Adam - son's Blueprint AV software and Load Library for the Lake processors. "[The E15s] are perfect for arenas and get- ting the throw out there and doing everything we need in [larger venues]," Wood shares. "But then when we transition down and think about some of the smaller shows we've done on previous tours, we've ?own an S10-only rig and had wonderful results as well."

While ?exibility was a necessary consider-

ation for the audio system on the

Illuminate

World Tour, considering how quickly Shawn

Mendes' pro?le has grown in just a few short

years, scaling down for certain venues is quick- ly becoming a thing of the past - and Wood and Smith would be more than happy sticking exclusively with Adamson's E15s. "I really love the control we have over the system," Smith says. "It rigs incredibly fast, has tons of power, and the new E15 Lake preset is phenomenal. It adds the extra high frequency headroom exactly where we need it. Also, the technical support that Adamson provides its clients is second to none."

But regardless of the model or con?gura

- tion, Smith says Adamson's consistency across the board is of signi?cant bene?t. "When

I walk the room, I really have to look up and

see where I'm standing in relation to the box, because I can't feel that on-axis beaming I get from a lot of the other [manufacturers]," he says.At the FOH Position

Wood has been enjoying his experience behind the Avid VENUE S6L, which he ad-opted ahead of the Illuminate World Tour

and says is "quite a jump" compared to the

Avid VENUE Pro?le, his previous console of

choice. "The changes in work?ow have taken a little getting used to," he admits, "but from a sonic point of view, it's been 100 percent worth it."

One of the main advantages is the boost

in ?delity that comes with running at 96K.

He's also been making use of the custom

- izable layers. "We've added a considerable amount of non -musical lines since the last tour - comms, time code..." he shares. "Bal - ancing that with more cues and a B-stage means that things can get a little busy, so

I like to keep my miscellaneous channels

within custom layers for quick access but also to keep them out of the way."

Since he's running the SoundGrid Server

One, the only outboard gear Wood has on

the road is a pair of Avalon VT-737SP chan - nel strips for "money channel" vocals - one main and one backup. The unit features a combination of tube preamps, an opto-com - pressor, sweep equalizer and output level and VU metering in a two rackspaces. "I can remember Tim Colvard [FOH en - gineer, Madonna and Macklemore & Ryan

Lewis] talking about the importance of mak-

ing sure you have a really good reason for utilizing equipment, and it really resonated with me. I don't need a double-wide full of toys on this gig," says the engineer. "The Ava - lon really complements the natural warmth of Shawn's vocal. It's something I just can't replicate without the real thing."

The Canadian Connection

As Wood says in closing, the Canadian

connections on this tour make for a unique kind of synergy. "It means a hell of a lot to be doing this with a Canadian box with a Cana - dian artist and be a proud near-Canadian, as it as at the moment for me," he says, with a laugh. "So this is very special." "The bar has been raised for what people expect sonically at concerts." - Tom Wood
