Stagetec NEXUS signed on for late night performance during Superbowl week in Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Indiana February 1st, 2012: As the fight for the NFL's most sought after title heats up, the teams, press and fans are not the only ones descending on Indianapolis, the host city of Superbowl XLVI. This year, television late night host Jimmy Fallon will be broadcasting 4 shows Feb 1, 2, 3 and 5th from the Hilbert Circle Theatre in the heart of Indianapolis.

No small under taking as the mandate was to replicate the studio setup of the regular "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Show" normally broadcast from NBC Studios at 30 Rock. Nathaniel Hare who is the FOH mixer for the regular show was tapped as the sound designer for the 4 dates (3 live-to-disc and then the live show post the big game). To supply all of the equipment for the temporary installation, Wireless First, a Clair Global company, was selected due to their experience in both TV and touring sound.

Deciding to go with the regular equipment list for familiarity, Hare decided on NEXUS to provide the backbone of the audio routing. All of the audio signals from all stage sources to FOH, PA and monitoring and to the Music Mix Mobile and Game Creek Trucks parked outside are being transported through the NEXUS system.

The actual NEXUS network comprises of some 1728 inputs and 1984 outputs. Central to the system is the NEXUS Star, which connects 12 remote base devices throughout the theatre and the OB trucks. Several consoles connect via MADI including FOH, Music and Main Production and the rest have direct connections to the NEXUS via AES/EBU.

A big part of the reason for choosing NEXUS was due to its proven track record. "As the show after the Superbowl is going to be live, I need to be 150% sure that there will be no equipment failures" states Hare, "and the NEXUS not only has complete redundancy built in but it's track record on reliability speaks for itself."
