If you are tired of half measures and compromises, then I would give this system a serious look. Now I can focus on my show and not have that little thought always in the back of my mind, will my sound work tonight? You can tell this was created by someone who does tons of shows because he has seemed to alleviate all of the stress points and aggravations of past systems. Highly Customize Track Settings: Check ( Carl Andrew’s Show Cues) Remote unit is easy to use without looking at it: Checkĭurable and will stand up to many shows: Check (from initial build quality)īig Display to see my cues: Check (uses ios device) Pack small and doesnt add weight for travel: Check Has long range in case I need to place it in the sound booth at a theater: Check Same workflow in a small club or big theater: Check Here was my checklist for finding the perfect system and Audio Ape answers all of them Unlike other products in life, a product like this has to get it 100% right and anything less will make you search for a different solution which has been my story until now. I have owned them all over the last 15 years. Within the first 30 seconds of opening the package, I knew this was the remote cueing system I have been waiting for.

What’s not to like?Ĭharles has really done something special for the performing community.ĭo yourself a favour, if you need a remote, this one will do the job nicely.! The buttons are clicky and the receiver is small and can ever work on battery power. No more waiting to be introduced at the back of the room, and wondering if your play on cue is going to work! I even tried firing it from the balcony of the theatre and it still worked. I’ve used the Audio Ape now for many shows, including on cruise ships and it’s never missed a cue. I’ve only ever used one other remote system (a cheap Schoche system that would sometimes not even work 50 feet across and EMPTY room! or when it was right at the side of the stage).

We’ve all been there – having our sound cues so messed up we have to perform angry.Īudio Ape has been a perfect solution for me. However, there are some gigs that I have been starting to do alone, and relying on a sound man is very hit or miss.

I’ve been spoiled most of my performing career with a full time sound woman (my wife).
