Conrad Fletcher onboard his cutting edge mobile recording facility the ‘MixBus’
You may already know Conrad Fletcher and the “SounDesign” team for their work on some of the most prestigious recent events in the UK, including The Queens Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, The Coronation Festival at Buckingham Palace, The Royal Variety Performance, over 20 National Theatre “NT Lives”, V Festival, Don Black at the Royal Festival Hall, The Olivier Awards, the Voice (BBC), The X Factor Final (ITV 1), The Xtra Factor (ITV2) and War Horse – the first ever 4k live to cinema transmission.
His knowledge and attention to detail is second to none and this is apparent with the the Mixbus, his large format mobile recording facility which features active acoustics and a cinema surround system, all packed into just a 8m long truck that is less than 7.5 tonnes.
Conrad is also a big RME fan and says that they are “the best manufacture that I have ever come across” because of their versatility and reliability. The Mixbus is kitted out with 2 x RME MADIBridges, an RME MADI Converter, RME MADI Router, RME ADI-4 DD, RME MADIface XT, RME ADI-642, RME HDSPe MADI and an RME MADIface USB. Conrad also explains (in the video) how he uses the RME Fireface UFX for a rather unique monitoring solution.
