Ronnie Scott’s has selected Shure systems for Upstairs at Ronnie’s, the redeveloped live music room above the club’s downstairs stage in Soho. The new venue is designed for 140 guests and is intended to handle performances ranging from intimate sets to the club’s Monday classical series.
The room combines a Yamaha S3X grand piano and d&b sound system with Shure SLX-D+ microphones and Axient Digital PSM in-ear monitoring. The Axient Digital PSM setup runs four channels, with RF quality and settings monitored from the console over the venue’s Dante network.
Reliability was part of the brief because Ronnie Scott’s operates 362 days a year and presents between two and four shows daily. The Axient Digital PSM system also uses Shure’s recent Single Carrier Narrowband firmware mode, which is intended to simplify RF setup without complex coordination or advanced antenna configurations.
