Shining in LA: Design Sound's Sound Devices Astral Wireless Revolution

LA's Design Sound has been the go-to A/V architect for swanky soirees in southern California since 2009, boasting an impressive roster of clients like Kim Kardashian, Jimmy Kimmel, Jessica Simpson, Apple, and Google. Renowned for its bespoke live sound solutions, Design Sound offers a harmonious blend of peerless sound quality and understated aesthetics to cater to intimate industry gatherings, star-studded weddings, and high-profile corporate events. Recently, they've adopted Sound Devices Astral wireless receivers and transmitters as their RF system of choice.

Tour-worthy sound, hidden elegance

Each Design Sound event requires a high level of planning and execution that rivals a top-tier touring show. Expectations for pristine audio and flawless system control are sky-high given their illustrious clientele. "Our projects are challenging yet exhilarating as they are all about pushing boundaries - but there's no room for error," says Chief Engineer Davis Jones. "We're all about tracking down tech solutions that deliver top-notch performance and flexibility."

Moreover, Design Sound prides itself on maintaining a minimal technological footprint at events. While system efficiency and quick setup times are essential factors, adhering to each event's unique aesthetic is equally important, leading to inventive solutions. "Invisible technology is a must at weddings, private parties, or cocktail hours," Jones explains. "You don't want speakers, wires, or equipment to detract from the ambiance."

This emphasis on discretion paved the way for wireless live sound solutions, with Sound Devices' Astral series wireless units leading the charge.

Perfect harmony, unseen wonders

Jones had prior exposure to Sound Devices from his background in location sound for film and television. Uncovering that Astral worked seamlessly with DiGiCo, the preferred console and controller for many Design Sound systems, opened up an opportunity for Jones to put Astral to work in his innovative system concepts. "Fully wireless setups have been on our wish-list for a while now - clients may not realize they want it, but it offers immense value," Jones explains. "We're striving for streamlined setups with no cables, minimal monitors, and quick setup times."

"Sound Devices has a stellar reputation for producing superior audio, and their Astral series raised the bar even higher when it came to wireless," he continues. "We were absolutely floored by the ultra-wide dynamic range and sound fidelity of these mics, transmitters, and receivers. There's no discernible drop in quality when going wireless, unlike with other brands."

Currently, Jones is utilizing the A20 Nexus and a pair of A20RX receivers in a compact rack unit, offering a powerful and portable setup with up to 29 channels of wireless. Astral's SpectraBand technology and intuitive UI have given Jones precise control over available frequencies in the often challenging RF environment of southern California. "Hostile RF conditions are the norm here, but the SpectraBand makes it incredibly easy to find and assign clean frequencies and monitor live, ensuring optimal efficiency," says Jones. "It's incredible how quickly we can set it up – it's an amazing system that our clients love."

"Failure isn't an option at the level we operate, and Sound Devices wireless guarantees we'll never falter," he concludes. "We're excited to offer our clients something that elevates their events to new heights."
