Yamaha CL5 on tour with Jungle

Steve Weall, monitor engineer for Jungle and Crystal Fighters, has spent much of 2015 touring the world with Jungle, a journey which included stepping up to the Yamaha CL5. Jungle comprises seven band members using 45 inputs, with monitoring via a mixture of wired and wireless stereo IEMs, wedges, drum sub and side fills - with the addition of a brass section for selected larger shows.

“With the mix and output count surpassing the standard 16 auxes/outputs offered on many consoles with local i/o, I used Yamaha PM5Ds on shows across Singapore, New Zealand and Australia,” Weall says. “Then I was looking for a console that had a minimum of 48 in/24 outs, 64 channels of input processing and 24 Aux sends, and allowed me to take a fully programmed show file straight into the first show without a rehearsal. We asked RAT Sound in California to provide a CL5 and two Rio 3224-D i/o units. Despite only having used a CL5 a handful of times before, it was a no brainer.”

“We were able to use the CL5 at every show and usually made our changeover even quicker than when using house production. It also takes pressure off the house audio crew to try and deliver our complex, custom set up.” After Jungle’s performances in America, David Shepherd, owner/manager of the band’s UK audio supplier BCS Audio, invested in a CL5 and two Rio3224-Ds for the band’s European gigs.
