Line Array Systems

SwissMixx Audio uses RCF HDL26-A and HDL 6-A touring-grade line array systems for live events. These systems with RDNet digital network control deliver concert-grade coverage and precision tuning at any scale.

For large outdoor events, RCF HDL26-A line arrays are deployed on a vertical lift, covering crowds from 500 to 15,000 attendees across parks, fairgrounds, and lakefronts across Idaho and Utah. RDNet allows real-time adjustment of each speaker box from the mix position, giving precise control over volume, EQ, and delay across the entire coverage area.

The Midas M32 and Behringer X32 digital consoles handle front-of-house and monitor mixes. With 32 channels of digital mixing, the system scales from a 5-piece band to a full festival production. From Boise and the Treasure Valley to Salt Lake City and beyond, every show is system-designed before doors open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often from event planners and city coordinators across Idaho and Utah.

What sound systems does SwissMixx Audio use for live events? +

SwissMixx Audio deploys RCF HDL26-A and HDL 6-A touring-grade line array systems with RDNet digital network control for real-time adjustment from the mix position. Front-of-house and monitor mixing is handled on Midas M32 and Behringer X32 digital consoles, giving 32 channels of flexible digital mixing for events ranging from small showcases to large city festivals across Idaho and Utah.

How large of an outdoor crowd can you cover? +

RCF HDL26-A line arrays deployed on a vertical lift can cover crowds from 500 to 15,000 attendees across parks, fairgrounds, and lakefronts. Coverage area and system configuration are designed based on the specific venue dimensions and crowd geometry, with RDNet allowing per-cabinet tuning for even distribution across the full footprint. SwissMixx Audio has covered large city events throughout the Treasure Valley, Boise, and Salt Lake City.

Do you serve events in Utah as well as Idaho? +

Yes. SwissMixx Audio is based in Meridian, Idaho and regularly serves events throughout Utah, including Salt Lake City, Davis County, Lehi, Layton, Farmington, and Clearfield. Recurring Utah clients include city-sponsored events, county fairs, and corporate productions for clients like Boeing, Adobe, and Ancestry.com. Contact Mark directly to discuss your Utah event location.

Can you handle multi-stage festival setups? +

Yes. Multi-stage events are a core part of the SwissMixx Audio service offering. Each stage gets its own dedicated front-of-house and monitor mix, and Dante networking is available for complex multi-stage signal routing. Stage coordination is planned in advance to manage simultaneous programming across the event footprint, whether it is two community stages or a large festival with overlapping schedules.

What is your approach to pre-show acoustic planning? +

Every event starts with a system design review before load-in. RCF RDNet acoustic modeling is used to plan coverage angles and delay settings based on venue dimensions and expected crowd areas. Wireless frequency coordination is completed using Shure Wireless Workbench before any RF gear goes on air, eliminating interference issues before they can affect the show. All time alignment is verified with measurement tools before doors open.

How far in advance should I book for a city event or festival? +

For city events, festivals, and large outdoor productions in Idaho and Utah, booking 2 to 4 months in advance is recommended. Summer dates across the Treasure Valley and Utah book early, especially July 4th and late summer city celebration weekends. Reaching out early also allows time for a proper site walk, acoustic planning, and coordination with any other production vendors involved in the event.

What types of microphones are used for live performances? +

Microphone selection is matched to the performance type and the acoustic environment. Shure wireless systems are the primary wireless platform, coordinated via Shure Wireless Workbench to avoid RF conflicts, which is especially important at outdoor events with multiple wireless channels in use. For instruments, condensers, ribbons, and dynamics are selected based on the specific sonic character of each input rather than using a single mic for everything.
